Thanks for you reply Chuck, I am using DailyRazor as my web hosting provider. The operating system is Linux kernel version 2.6.27.18-14, Tomcat version 5.5.26, and JVM is 1.5.0_15-b04. This is a private JVM configuration provided by DailyRazor. I purchased this server configuration because I am planning on hosting more then one application and domain with this instance of Tomcat. I have read in the Tomcat documentation and discovered the sections you mention about context elements being located in the server.xml file, however this is the configuration file I started with from my hosting provider. With this hosting provider they tell me that I do not have access to webapp directory so I am assuming I need the two context descriptors for the admin and manager Tomcat applications. I will go ahead and remove all of the context entries and put them in conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/
My context.xml file is in META-INF and not WEB-INF. Sorry about the typo. I will make the you mentioned in my app contect.xml file. >Your default webapp should be located in /home/userId/public_html/ROOT - nowhere else, and its ><Context> element >>should be in /home/userId/public_html/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml. Also I am not clear on the suggestion of using “ROOT”.
