Today I decided to switch from a daily build (build 3/26/2001) to the 4.0b3 version of tomcat. I suddenly started getting this error. In addition to the default "localhost" (which works fine by the way) I have this virtual host defined. <Host name="orangefood" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="orangefood_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common"/> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="logs" prefix="orangefood_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> <Context path="" docBase="of" debug="0"/> </Host> The log file has an error in it, but I can t figure out what it means. Here is the log file: 2001-04-27 19:51:18 Manager[]: Seeding random number generator class java.security.SecureRandom 2001-04-27 19:51:18 Manager[]: Seeding of random number generator has been completed 2001-04-27 19:51:18 StandardContext[]: Error initializing naming context for context 2001-04-27 19:51:18 StandardContext[]: Context startup failed due to previous errors 2001-04-27 19:51:18 StandardHost[orangefood]: Installing web application at context path /of from URL file:C:\tomcat-4.0-b3\myaps\of 2001-04-27 19:51:18 Manager[/of]: Seeding random number generator class java.security.SecureRandom 2001-04-27 19:51:18 Manager[/of]: Seeding of random number generator has been completed 2001-04-27 19:51:19 StandardContext[/of]: Error initializing naming context for context /of 2001-04-27 19:51:19 StandardContext[/of]: Context startup failed due to previous errors Is this a bug or was I taking advantage of a bug in the previously version? Any help is much appreciated. - Robert http://www.orangefood.com
