Thanks for the response, but it's still not working. I renamed the WAR file as ROOT and deleted the old ROOT before running Tomcat to auto deploy it. When I asked the vender if I could deploy it to root last week the rep said he didn't think so, but would ask his techs. It's odd because it works fine in its default location, but not in ROOT.
If I deploy it to the default location and modify the conf/server.xml to add in the Context docBase path tag it works but it causes system instability after a while, possibly because it deploys the application twice. - John Le -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 9:51 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: ROOT not working > From: Caldarale, Charles R > Subject: RE: ROOT not working > > All you should have to do is copy MyApp.war to > webapps/ROOT.war and delete the webapps/ROOT folder and > conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml (if it exists, which it > probably doesn't).

And make sure you clear the browser cache; failure to do so can have some odd side effects. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
