Tim, I got the same problem once. I found out that you have to put the context files under ${catalina-home}/conf/{engine-name}/{hostname}
It worked for me and I got all the contexts working fine. I found it on: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html Hope it helps you. --- Tim Diggins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: > Hi - > > I've never used context fragments to deploy before (have either put > > context fragments into the server.xml, old tomcat4 style, or have > used > web/ant interface for deployment, or just dropped wars into > webapps). > > so I'm now trying to use the context fragment method and have been > tearing my hair out.
