Bob, Welcome, fellow newbie! I struggled with this one also. It turns out that the <context> element for a root directory MUST be nested inside the <host> element in server.xml. The relevant documentation reads:
"You may define as many Context elements as you wish. Each such Context MUST have a unique context path, which is defined by the path attribute. In addition, you MUST define a Context with a context path equal to a zero-length string. This Context becomes the default web application for this virtual host, and is used to process all requests that do not match any other Context's context path."

I'm hoping someone could tell me where I'm going wrong, in a polite way. :) I'm trying to use TC 5.5.9 on Win 2k. I want the "document base" directory (the <Context>'s "docBase") for my default web application to be something other than ROOT. Please don't ask, "why?", this is a simplification of a different but equivalent problem.
