Re: Problems with jsp include files in sub-directories
Hello Mark Thomas Thanks for your reply I forwarded it to my web hosting company. They have followed the instructions. I now find that I have to use www.windsor-chamber.co.uk/ROOT/index.jsp My hosting company says it's not possible to change this (to www.windsor-chamber.co.uk/index.jsp ) without re-introducing the original problem. Can you offer any more help ? I suspect this isn't a tomcat issue, however I am running out of options here.

Closer, but still wrong.

A host's appBase and a context's docBase cannot be the same. The configuration has never been valid. Remove the whole Context ... element from inside the server.xml. Also remove the docBase and path attributes from your public_html/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml. They are automatically configured by tomcat. --David Andrew Connick wrote: Thanks Mark They have set the host to: Host name=windsor-chamber.co.uk appBase=/home/andrew42/public_html Aliaswww.windsor-chamber.co.uk/Alias Context path= reloadable=true docBase=/home/andrew42/public_html debug=1/ /Host and the context in public_html/ROOT/META_INF/context.xml is : Context docBase=ROOT path=/ reloadable=true debug=1 /Context There is also a public_html/META_INF/context.xml, which is: Context reloadable=true debug=1 /Context Thanks Andrew - Original Message - From: Mark Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 5:44 PM Subject: Re: Problems with jsp include files in sub-directories Andrew Connick wrote: Hello Mark Thomas Thanks for your reply I forwarded it to my web hosting company.

You must not have the appBase equal to the docBase; that has never been correct, although some older versions of Tomcat tolerated it accidentally. The proper way to set this up is to have appBase=/home/andrew42 and remove the Context element from server.xml. Rename your public_html directory to ROOT to have it be the default webapp for the Host. Then create a file named /home/andrew42/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml containing the following: Context reloadable=true debug=1/ Note that the path and docBase attributes are not used. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
