What is in the directory /dirtest/prod_scrpts? If it doesn't have a
file named index.jsp, index.html or index.htm (defaults set in
conf/web.xml) then it will give a 404. Try a very small "hello world"
html page for one of those files. The default is to disable file
listings for directories which is where the 404 is coming from.

hello everyone,
i am a novice in this field. I was trying to create a virtual directory
(alias directory) in Tomcat in Solaris box. Following is what i did.
1. stopped tomcat
2. located the "server.xml" file under <INSTALL DIR>/tomcat/conf
2. edited it to add
<Context path="/test"
docBase="/dirtest/prod_scrpts"
debug="1"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
3. added the above between the host tags such that
<Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy.......>
... ... ... ...
<Context path="/test"
docBase="/dirtest/prod_scrpts"
debug="1"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
</Host>
4. started tomcat
Now when i try to access the newly create virtual directory by going to the
URL "http://<servername>:8080/test" i get the error:
HTTP Status 404 - /test/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report
message /test/
description The requested resource (/test/) is not available.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache Tomcat/5.0.27
Any suggestions and recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
uddav
