I thought for sure that would have been it. But it definately put me
on the right path. Here is how it went down...
I have just figured it out. Very odd. I had to keep my work directory
open whilst I was stopping and starting services.
When tomcat starts up it creats a "localhost" directory inside the work
directory. This is because of the first engine which has:
name="localhost"
Bear with me, this took me quite a few tries to figure out.
A few seconds later a second directory was created, called "apache"
because the engine under the warp connector has:
name="apache"
But... when I would access my computer, I was not using http://localhost.
I was using http://charlieh, the way other users in the office would do it.
And I noticed that once I accessed the site, a "charlieh" directory was
created in the work directory.
So I changed the second engine name to be "charlieh" and then everything
worked the way it was supposed to. Now I just need to be mindful of that
once I start moving this environment into production (which will be linux
so a whole new set of challenges). Especially if I create a few virtual
hosts in Apache.
Thanks so much for the help. And people say they don't like open source
because there is no support. :)
