Hi, There is missing a step on Mario's response. You have to add a <Context> at $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml or a separate context file ending in .xml to be located at $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. See this link: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html
