Either follow standard practice and rename the file to ROOT.war, or keep it outside of the <Host> appBase directory and create a conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml file containing a <Context> element with a docBase attribute that points to the location of jira.war. One of the advantages of keeping production webapps outside of the <Host> appBase, is that it makes upgrading from one Tomcat version to another much easier. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
