Hi
I am having quite a bit of trouble adding a new context in the server.xml
file. I am running Win98 and Tomcat. I have followed the instructions in the
user guide, looked all over the web. Had a look at the mailing list and
tried everything people had to say but still I get the same error. Any ideas
on what else I need to do?????
Your help is appreciated.
The following entry is in server.xml
<Context path="test"
docbase="c:/web/webapps/test"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
The directory structure is as follows:
<web><webapps><test> then <Web-inf>web.xml<classes>
index.html
The following is my autoexec.bat:
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DOSKEY.COM
SET PATH=.;C:\jdk1.3\bin;C:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;C:\java\myclasses
SET
CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.3\lib\classes.zip;C:\jclasses;C:\jclasses\tests;C:\jclas
ses\examples;C:\jswdk\lib\servlet.jar
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3
SET TOMCAT_HOME=C:\tomcat
The tomcat log has:
2001-03-27 04:18:59 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /examples )
2001-03-27 04:18:59 - Ctx( /test ): Set debug to 9

The error in the console where tomcat is running is:

If I try to go to the page http://localhost:8080/test the following error is
in the log:
