Re: Tomcat configuration error
ok, thanks a bunch :) Sadly I'm away over the weekend and can´t test the configuration just yet. But as soon as I get back again I will try it and let you know how it went :) Den 6/16/2006, skrev Filip Hanik - Dev Lists [EMAIL PROTECTED]: no worries, lets start from the beginning, after that I will send you off to take a tomcat and/or servlet tutorial Host appBase=/var/www/webapps...
