Thanks for the tip, I am using 4.1.9. This page: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html doesn't list the "config" install option. Also, it's not clear to me why there isn't a "config" option for the deploy task as well as install. At least, that's what the code for the ant tasks would imply...deploy is not documented in the javadoc for ManagerServlet. I can enter these things into the bug db if they're new issues. -Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
