RE: FAIL - Application at context path /[context] could not be started ???
What's the console output? how far did you get before you encounter that specific error? Sounds to me like a mis-configuration of the context path problem. You sure you have the right deploy descriptor in your war file? -Original Message- From: Timothy Stone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 2:11 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: FAIL - Application at context path /[context] could not be started ???

RE: FAIL - Application at context path /[context] could not be started ???
Hi, The error, not explained in the Manager documentation anywhere BTW : FAIL - Application at context path /foobar could not be started Errors aren't typically explained in the documentation, as we rely on stack traces and other information to diagnose and correct problems. Feel free to inspect the relevant code, document the possible error messages, and submit a documentation enhancement patch. The answer is not obvious to me. Nothing seems to be logging anywhere for me to debug it. A few general tips for cases like this: - Add debug=99 to the Engine and Host elements of your server.xml file. This will output more information. - Try to deploy the WAR by simply copying it to the webapps directory (assuming autoDeploy is on for your Host). Do any errors occur? If so, fix these before you try ant/manager deployment. - Comment out/remove all unneeded webapps and elements from server.xml, making your deployment as simple as possible. - If you're still having trouble, start stripping things that execute on startup from your web.xml: filters that do stuff on init(), servlets that have load-on-startup enabled, listeners, etc. Yoav Shapira This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.

My home directory is correctly set by default to 700. Meaning /home is neither world readable or executable. Opps! Setting /home/tstone to 755 fixed the problem. Doh!
