From the docs for Context:
"The Document Base (also known as the Context Root) directory for this web application, or the pathname to the web application archive file (if this web application is being executed directly from the WAR file). You may specify an absolute pathname for this directory or WAR file, or a pathname that is relative to the appBase directory of the owning Host."
Thus, if you're going to put a Context entry in server.xml for "nsfs", make the docBase "nsfs.war", not "nsfs".

Does the nsfs.war file go into webapps directory or into webapps/nsfs directory?
Currently, the webapps/nsfs dir does not exist. There is only the nsfs.war file setting in the webapps directory. I am assuming that Tomcat will create the webapps/nsfs directory for me when it expands the war file.
I have temporarily set permissions to 777 on the webapps directory and it still does not expand, nor try to use, the war file.

You've told Tomcat the docBase is "nsfs".
Tomcat thusly looks for a directory called "nsfs" in the Host's appBase.
If it finds it, and unpackWars is true, it will unpack your WAR file into that directory (webapps/nsfs, NOT webapps). Thus, Tomcat needs r+w on webapps/nsfs.
Does Tomcat have r+w on webapps/nsfs?
Alternatively, make unpackWars false.

My directory permissions are as follows:

ps -ef shows me this, which is think is Tomcat, which is run by user tomcat4:
tomcat4 6199 1 0 12:17 pts/2 00:00:36 /usr/java/jdk1.4/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs= -classpath /usr/java/jdk1.4/lib/tools.jar:/var

Howdy,

Well explain it to me! :)
There is a "/var/tomcat4/webapps/nsfs.war" file.
There should not be a "/var/tomcat4/webapps/nsfs" directory.
If you have unpackWARS="true" tomcat will try to explode your war into
the directory specified as the docBase, which is nsfs under webapps. If
it can't create this directory or read/write into it, you get the above
error. Check file permissions on webapps.
