When you go into the Tomcat Manager you get a list of running web applications. Then the next section lets you deploy a host directory or local WAR file. It asks for the following information:
Context Path (optional): [I have found this is not optional] XML Configuration file URL: [This appears to be optional] WAR or Directory URL: [Here I enter my host directory path] I don't have anything in my server.xml. Just a generic tomcat 6 install. When I enter anything in the Context path that has a 2 tier specification .i.e. xyz/abc I get an error when I try to deploy the host directory. I have been able to deploy a different directory using just xyx. So basically if I have a unix directory called /mywebapps/xyz that has a web application in it. And I want to deploy it using the Tomcat Manager what would I put in for the Context Path. I know that the WAR or Directory should be /mywebapps/xyz. I want the context path to be xyz/abc. However if I put that in the deployment fails. Does this explain it a little better?

What should I put in the context path to have it > deploy to /webapps/bfc? webapps is usually the host's appBase. I am a little confused. A few questions: - what is the full path to your Tomcat installation? - what is your host configuration in server.xml? - what is the full path to the directory you want to deploy? - what url do you want to use to access this web app?
