You can drop the <Alias>...</Alias> line in your installtion. $host should be replaced by smpdev.mwhglobal.com then your directory webapps/smpdev.mwhglobal.com should contain an unpacked copy of the site you're working with, including your web.xml configuration file. You need to create the configuration file in conf/Catalina/smpdev.mwhglobal.com/ROOT.xml <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Context displayName="smpdev.mwhglobal.com" docBase="" path="" workDir="work/Catalina/smpdev.mwhglobal.com/_"> </Context> A caveat though is I haven't tested the instructions on Windows so you may need to modify various things to make it go.
