Some thoughts:
1. The naming of all the associated files with your webapp should be
consistent with the path attribute of the context element (assuming ibo4
is it's name):
Context xml file should be named ibo4.xml
The webapp's directory should be named ibo4
If deploying from a .war file, the .war file should be named ibo4.war.
2. The name of the root application is ROOT (case sensitive), so if this
is to be the webapp to respond on request to /*, the war file, context
xml file, and the webapp's folder should all be named ROOT (ROOT.xml,
ROOT.war, webapps/ROOT).
It should also be noted that with the context xml file in
config/Catalina/www.iboserver.com/ibo4.xml, the path and docbase
attributes may be ignored under tomcat 5.5. Open your manager webapp to
see what's deployed and under what names.
