You need the </Context> closing tags whenever you need to nest others tags
inside the context tags. Such as <Realm> or <Logger> or <Valve>
<Context path="/foo" docBase="foo" debug="0">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs/foo"
prefix="foo." suffix=".log"
verbosity="4"
timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
If you have no nested tags you can just us <Context path="/foo"
docBase="foo" debug="0"/> where /> ends the tags

Sandra - I have had similar experiences with similar frustrating results,
and it always seems to be placement of the <Context> </Context> tags - for
some reason sometimes you need closing </Context> tags, other times you
don't, I can't seem to figure out when to use them and when not to, so I end
up fiddling around with various combinations until Tomcat starts! (that was
a really dumb answer but it works for me)

Frustration abounds:
I am plodding through a tomcat tutorial and it suggests modifying the
Server.xml file to include a new context path line to allow for playing with
a sample file.
Everything works tickety boo until I do that, then Tomcat won't startup at
all. When I enter the startup command I just get a really brief flash of
screen and poof! It's gone again.
When I take the new line out of the server.xml file the problem persists:
poof! Gone.
That is the only change I make.
Any thoughts?
