More info and a solution:
I tried 5.5.4 with similar results. I found that I could hit my app at http://localhost:8080/, and use database connectivity, but no matter what I still always got that error at startup.
On a tip from the author of AppFuse I:
mv $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT
mv $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml
Edited ROOT.xml setting docBase="ROOT" (path="" on 5.0.18, or removed completely on 5.5.4).
That did the trick.

Hi Yoav,
Thanks for the reply. I changed my server.xml as follows:
<Host name="localhost" debug="9" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
I restarted, but no change:
Dec 7, 2004 7:56:37 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install
INFO: Installing web application at context path /myapp from URL file:/Applications/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/webapps/myapp
I searched but could not find any other Host declarations, nor any instances of 'autoDeploy' in my conf directory. I tried setting every instance of debug in server.xml to "9", but upon restart I'm not getting any more output in logs/catalina.out than I did with debug="0". I tried removing server.xml altogether to see if was being ignored for some reason, but then tomcat failed to start.
Anything else I could try?
Thanks Again,
Ian

Hi, Because you've probably left autoDeploy on for your Host.

Hi,
I'm running 5.0.28. I'm using the default
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml.
I have removed the ROOT and example webapps leaving only admin,
manager
(in server/webapps), and myapp (expanded into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps).
In
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml I have specified my Context path="". When I start the server I get:
INFO: Installing web application at context path /myapp from...
I then also get the apparently infamous:
[myapp] WARN [main] SettingsFactory.buildSettings(96) | Could not
obtain
connection metadata org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver
of
class '' for connect URL 'null'
When I change the Context path back to ="myapp" in myapp.xml the JDBC error goes away, so I'm assuming there's some sort of context mismatch when I specify "" but Tomcat deploys to /myapp anyway.
So my question is why might Tomcat deploy my webapp to the context path /myapp as opposed to the root context when I specify path=""?
Thanks!
Ian
