AFAIK you can't run a webapp from a war. You have to deploy (expand/extract) the war in the webapp folder to be able to run it. Usually Tomcat will deploy this for you when you start it up. It will also auto deploy depending on your configuration. If you're not to sure that your war was built correctly copy the extracted webapp as is from your machine onto the other machine to see if it will load. Then carry on troubleshooting your new war.
Also your version of Tomcat 5 is a tad old the first stable release, which is now out, is 5.0.16 Cheers Emile -----Original Message----- From: Ralf Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 January 2004 11:45 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Unable to start web application -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm quite new to developing web applications with Tomcat (5.0.6 that comes with JWSDP 1.3). I have a problem with starting a web application that is deployed as a WAR file. On my machine the web application works fine, but here I use it from the unpacked directory structure. Now, I generated a WAR file from within Eclipse (using the Tomcat plugin from Sysdeo) and copied it to another machine into the webapps directory where the same Tomcat version runs. When I open the HTML frontend of the manager application I then see the web application, but I'm not able to start it. The logfile says: INFO: standardHost.start /demo_02 15.01.2004 09:41:28 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SCHWERWIEGEND: Error listenerStart 15.01.2004 09:41:28 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SCHWERWIEGEND: Context startup failed due to previous errors Do I have to change anything to be able to run the application from within a WAR file?
