Have you checked the log files to see if there is a reason as to why the app could not be started?

I created a new webapp yesterday and put it into the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory. From this list I learned that it is possible to have a webapp recognized by restarting Tomcat *OR* by adding a <Context> node into $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml that points to the path of the webapp. Since I do not have root access on this server, I cannot change root-owned files and have asked my system administrator to restart Tomcat for me, to get my webapp recognized. He sent me an email saying that he gave me access to the "manager" webapp, which I have studied from the HOWTO in the documentation. I understand how to use it, but I cannot get my webapp to "start". Is it possible to get a webapp to start (for the very first time) from the "manager" webapp? Or does Tomcat really need to be restarted completely? When I list the webapps on the server using http://domainname:8080/manager/list I can see a list of the webapps that are recognized, including my webapp. But all of the other webapps are listed as "running", and my own webapp looks like this: /epricetest:stopped:0 So I thought that I might have to start the webapp using the "start" command, so I try this: http://domainname:8080/manager/start?path=/epricetest But the error message I receive when I try this is FAIL - Application at context path /epricetest could not be started This does not match any of the error messages detailed in the "manager" app HOWTO, so I am unsure of what is causing the problem. Could it be that to start a webapp for the very first time, Tomcat must really be restarted? (In which case, there is no way to do it without bugging my system administrator again?) Any suggestions?
