I had stand alone Tomcat4 working (examples) but need to re-install after a botched postgresql install. Now I'm back to HTTP 500 - No Context configured. Check all docs but stuck Here are my installation steps: Red Hat 8.0 Postgresql 7.3.1 rpm IBMJava2-SDK-131 rpm Add IBMJava2-131/bin and jre/bin paths to /root/.bash_profile Install Tomcat 4.1.18 rpm tomcat4.conf has: JAVA_HOME="opt/IBMJava2-131" CATALINA_HOME="/var/tomcat4" JASPER_HOME="/VAR/TOMCAT4"
My server.xml has: Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 port="8080" <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" <!- Define the default virtual host <Host name=""localhost" Any Ideas?
