It's sorted. To cut a long story short, the same people who 'configured' it so that webapps was completey separated from Tomcat, and removed the examples, also decided to use a renamed server.xml. Once I figured that out, and added the context, it ran fine. A joy of being a contractor?
Perhaps you can answer me this to close..why in my experience was it not necessary to add a context for an app to run successfully, but on this occasion it was?
I can't answer that one. It certainly disproves the idea that what you don't know, can't hurt you.
many thanks

Hi Jerald, I'm sorry but I've never had a Status 500 - no context configured.
There must be something freaky in your context configuration. Is the manager app running? That is normally at localhost:8080/manager/html
What does that say you have running in terms of contexts?
What directories do you have in your webapps dir and what contexts do you have configured in conf/server.xml and conf/Catalina/localhosts/*.xml?
BTW what TC version are you running?

Yes, they are all (3) running on different ports. All of them running apps quite happily. This particular one is running a single WAR OK, and my app - not OK. (HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request). I haven't played with the root context. Manager app?! Like I said, all apps bar the two I talk of have been removed. On looking, there is NO root context! (TC was configured by a third party before my arival)
thanks for your assistance
G.
Jerald, what happens then? You just get a message saying 'requested resource not available'?
Presumably your different tomcats are on different ports and don't interfere with each other?
Also can you run the manager app? What does it say is running?
You say you removed all other contexts - so your app is running as the root context? I believe you must have a root context.

Sorry for any impropriety re the hijacking!
I have a WAR running successfully under webapps. All other examples etc have been removed. I am running several instances/versions of Tomcat on the same box, and have no CATALINA_HOME env. variable defined. I am trying to port my app from the one version to the other. The WAR runs, my app doesn't!
Thanks for any help
G.
Prostrate yourself to a tongue lashing for hijacking someone else's thread as well! You should start a new thread when you post a new topic.
Unfortunately you haven't provided enough info. Start a new thread and include details like your CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE variables and whether your root, manager & jsp-examples contexts are accessible.
