Can someone explain catalina.home catalina.base?
I've searched everywhere and can only find conflicting information about these properties. Basically I want to deploy my webapp without modifying ANY files under the CATALINE_HOME directory (where I installed Tomcat). I've tried every combination of catalina.home catalina.base and cannot get it to pick up my server.xml and tomcat-users.xml files. I'm using Tomcat 4.0.4 Thanks Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Basically I want to deploy my webapp without modifying ANY files under the CATALINE_HOME directory (where I installed Tomcat). Which directories do you have under CATALINA_BASE? Is your webapp under CATALINA_BASE or under CATALINA_HOME? Please take a look at the RUNNING.txt (Point (4)) file in the CATALINA_HOME directory. Ok, here is a lot more detail with what I've tried. I've spent hours on this to no avail so I greatly appreciate your help. Server.xml contains: Context reloadable=true debug=10 docBase=c:\idtect\projects\oemserver\web path=/oemserver / I then go to DOS and type: C:\%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup Using CATALINA_BASE: c:\idtect\projects\oemserver\conf\tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: c:\devapps\tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: c:\idtect\projects\oemserver\conf\tomcat\temp Using JAVA_HOME: C:\devapps\j2sdk1.4.1 C:\ This starts up Tomcat. I know it's finding my web.xml because it is starting up a servlet and I see the servlet's output. The problem is I cannot access my webapp with the /oemserver URL in the browser. I try : http://localhost:8080/oemserver/ And receive : Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 - HTTP Status 404 - /oemserver/ type Status report message /oemserver/ description The requested resource (/oemserver/) is not available. In the access log I see: 127.0.0.1 - - [21/Aug/2002:11:23:00 1000] GET /oemserver/ HTTP/1.1 404 606 I have the debug levels to 10 and in the localhost_log.txt I get the following error for EVERY ONE of my jar files in my WEB-INF/lib directory: 2002-08-21 11:14:00 ContextConfig[/oemserver]: tldConfigJar(/WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar): java.io.IOException: Le chemin d'acces specifie est introuvable The error message in english says the path specified does not exist. This I don't understand because my JAR's are in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Later in the localhost_log.txt I see: 2002-08-21 11:14:01 action: init 2002-08-21 11:14:01 timerservlet: init 2002-08-21 11:14:01 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Starting completed Which tells me the struts servlet initialized, my custom servlet initialized, and the oemserver webapp is started. But why can't I access the webapp in the browser??? I tried deploying the /examples webapp but although I do not get the problem with the JARs I still get the 404 errors when I try to access the page. Finally, if I set CATALINA_HOME CATALINA_BASE back to the tomcat installation directory, I can use -config path to my server.xml and my webapp works fine. So that tells me my server.xml and web.xml are OK. Thanks for your help! Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE : RE : Can someone explain catalina.home catalina.base?
My web app directory is physically residing in c:\idtect\projects\oemserver\web, which is what i defined in the server.xml for the context docBase. I think the catalina.base is set properly, because it is finding my server.xml and tomcat-users.xml files, as well as it's logging to the appropriate directory. It's just a problem with the webapp context. And again, if I put catalina.base back to the tomcat install directory and use the -config command line parameter to specify my server.xml, it works fine. The reason this isn't acceptable is because then it loads tomcat-users.xml from the tomcat install directory. I suppose if I switch to JDBC security I won't have this problem. ;) I think this may be a bug in Tomcat but it seems to be a common thing to do so I'm suprised I'm the only one having this problem.

RE : RE : RE : Can someone explain catalina.home catalina.base?
I upgraded to Tomcat 4.1.9 beta to see if that made a difference. I also changed my JDK from 1.4.1beta to 1.3.1. This didn't change anything. Then I found a post in the mailing list archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-userm=102278697817471w=2 Which suggested creating a temp directory in my catalina.base directory. So I tried this. Now I am past the JAR file errors. In fact, in the logfile there are no errors at all: 2002-08-21 15:04:33 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Starting filters 2002-08-21 15:04:33 timerservlet: init 2002-08-21 15:04:33 action: init 2002-08-21 15:04:33 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Starting completed 2002-08-21 15:04:33 HostConfig[localhost]: HostConfig: Processing START 2002-08-21 15:04:33 HostConfig[localhost]: Deploying discovered web applications 2002-08-21 15:04:33 HostConfig[localhost]: Starting background thread 2002-08-21 15:04:34 HostConfig[localhost]: BACKGROUND THREAD Starting 2002-08-21 15:04:49 HostConfig[localhost]: Deploying discovered web applications I see the output in console from my timerservlet so I know everything is OK there. I then try to access the URL: HTTP Status 404 - /oemserver/login.jsp type Status report message /oemserver/login.jsp description The requested resource (/oemserver/login.jsp) is not available. Apache Tomcat/4.1.9 I look in the log file: 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardHost[localhost]: Mapping request URI '/oemserver/login.jsp' 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardHost[localhost]: Trying the longest context path prefix 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardHost[localhost]: Mapped to context '/oemserver' 2002-08-21 15:01:18 Authenticator[/oemserver]: Security checking request GET /oemserver/login.jsp 2002-08-21 15:01:18 Authenticator[/oemserver]: Checking constraint 'SecurityConstraint[Test 1]' against GET /login.jsp -- false 2002-08-21 15:01:18 Authenticator[/oemserver]: No applicable constraint located 2002-08-21 15:01:18 Authenticator[/oemserver]: Not subject to any constraint 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Mapping contextPath='/oemserver' with requestURI='/oemserver/login.jsp' and relativeURI='/login.jsp' 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying exact match 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying prefix match 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying extension match 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying default match2002-08-21 15:01:20 HostConfig[localhost]: Deploying discovered web applications This part is confusing: 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying exact match 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying prefix match 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying extension match 2002-08-21 15:01:18 StandardContext[/oemserver]: Trying default match I don't know what that means. But overall, there are no errors and it does not work. At this point I'm convinced I've stumbled upon a bug. I appreciate any help you may have.
