I assume these are typos in the email, not your config:

> CATALINA_HOME=/files/apache/jakarta-omcat-4.1.29
                                      ^

> <Context path="/mid-tier" debug="0"
> docbase=""/files/ar/mid-tier" reloadable="true"/&gt
^ ^
If tomcat has trouble loading the Context i would expect to see exceptions in the $CATALINA_HOME/logs/localhost_log.yyyy-MM-dd.txt log file, logging to which is enabled by default.


As in java, xml is case-sensitive and docBase!=docbase.

The manager and admin webapps are setup as non-WAR apps with a docBase outside the user webapp base. Take a look at $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/manager.xml


As for configuring Tomcat with Apache: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/connectors.html

Hi all,

I'm new to Tomcat. We have a small problem under Solaris 8.

1) We've read the documentation
2) We've skimped through all the past messages in the archive
3) Apache 1.3.29 has been configured with the following :

--enable-rule=SHARED_CODE
--enable-module=rewrite --enable-shared=rewrite
--enable-module=proxy --enable-shared=proxy

4) jakarta was installed in a directory under apache
5) The j2sdk1.4.2_02 was installed in /usr
6) In the S50apache, there are :

JAVA_HOME=/usr/j2sdk1.4.2_02
CATALINA_HOME=/files/apache/jakarta-omcat-4.1.29
APACHE_HOME=/files/apache
CONF_FILE=/files/apache/conf/httpd.conf

7) We start APACHE, no problem so far (it listens on 8080)
8) We've modified the server.xml to change the port to 8000
9) We've added an user admin with admin and manager roles
10) In the S51tomcat, there are :

CATALINA_HOME=/files/apache/jakarta-omcat-4.1.29
JAVA_HOME=/usr/j2sdk1.4.2_02

export CATALINA_HOME JAVA_HOME

11) We start Tomcat, no problem so far (it listens on 8000)
12) We get to the Manager Window to try to install an
application.  The application is called "mid-tier", it resides
in "/files/ar/mid-tier", in this directory there is a WEB-INF
directory (amongst others).

What would I put in the 3 boxes to install the app ????

We've tried plenty of stuff and logically, you'd put something
like :

Context Path (optional) : /mid-tier
XML Configuration file URL: /files/ar/mid-tier
WAR or Directory URL: ????????  (I don't have a clue)

This application is not using WARs.

Now, I've tried installing it directly by hand in the server.xml
file, here is the line I added :

<Context path="/mid-tier" debug="0"
docbase=""/files/ar/mid-tier" reloadable="true"/&gt

With this line we see the app appearing on the manager page, but
when we go into it, we are in a directory structure (a la ftp
type) and when we try to launch it, it gives an error message
on account that the config file is not correct !

I think the sole line in the server.xml is not enough !!!
By the way, they don't have an ounce of documentation on
configuring this thing on Apache+Tomcat, although they've done
it before on a Apache 1.3.27 + Tomcat 4.0.6.

Any help would be welcomed (before they ask me to revert to
Apache 1.3.27 + ServLet Exec 4.1.1, arrgghh!!)

Thanks,

Richard
