I'm having difficulties with a Tomcat installation. I am a high school teacher installing Tomcat in a computer lab. I want to have the Tomcat binaries/config etc installed on the local drive, but essentially want the "webapps" directory on students' network drive (mapped as their W: at logon). To the best of my understanding, I should have to just simply change the appBase attribute in the Host tag in server.xml. So it now reads appBase="W:/webapps", but Tomcat returns a blank page to the browser, no errors in the logs. I move the webapps directory back within the local Tomcat directory and change the configuration, I see the default Tomcat installation page just fine. I've varied the appBase attribute with forward- and backslashes, with and without ROOT etc. What should it be, or am I missing something else?
Thanks!! David
