If you have the second server setup then you can install tomcat and copy the webapps folder over and see what happens. Once you start getting errors from the new server then you can troubleshoot until everything is fixed. It will be difficult to know if everything will work without testing. So I'll suggest to build the new server first, unless of course you'll be using the same hardware then you can't do that.

Ok, I understand what you are saying about not seeing the location from the outside. However, am I wrong in thinking that I can track down the location if I know where everything is residing? For example, if I click on the "judges for retention" link on the left side of the main webpage the browser is directed to an address of: http://www.okcca.net/online/JudgeVote.2006.jsp I know that the "online" directory resides in the /usr/local/src/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/ directory and therefore the "JudgeVote.2006.jsp" file should be in that online directory. When I navigate to that directory on the server I can see that file. Therefore, I have been looking at each page/link in this manner. I look at the address location in the web browser and then navigating to the appropriate directory in the /usr/local/src/. . . directory I believe it is on the server to verify that the file in question is there. So far this has worked in showing me the exact directory location for each page/link I have looked at. Is this a legitimate way to go about this or am I going to overlook something in using this method? As far as your comment about documentation, I am afraid I have not come across any documentation detailing any of the website design. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
