Hi, I did not follow this thread actively, but the error message you get suggests that the file /var/tomcat4/webapps/time/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
is not there or not accessible. Have you checked: - File names (upper/lower case, etc) - file protection? (rwdx, etc) The best way to check is to login as the user under which tomcat is runnig and then perform a "jar tf /var/tomcat4/webapps/time/timeservlet.war" I also noticed that you talk about "webapp" dir, where the error message indicates it is looking for a "webapps" directory (the s is missing) Regards, Cor -----Original Message----- From: Alec Bickerton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 18:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: WAR files (URGENT) 26/11/2001 16:07:53, keiths <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Can you clarify this.
