Problem with "HTTP Status 503 - This application is not currently available"

[Robert Petersen <ro...@orangefood.com>]

Today I decided to switch from a daily build (build 3/26/2001) to the 4.0b3
version of tomcat.  I suddenly started getting this error.  In addition to
the default "localhost" (which works fine by the way) I have this virtual
host defined.
      <Host name="orangefood" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
                 directory="logs"  prefix="orangefood_access_log."
suffix=".txt"
                 pattern="common"/>
        <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                 directory="logs"  prefix="orangefood_log." suffix=".txt"
                timestamp="true"/>
        <Context path="" docBase="of" debug="0"/>
      </Host>

The log file has an error in it, but I can t figure out what it means.  Here
is the log file:
2001-04-27 19:51:18 Manager[]: Seeding random number generator class

Is this a bug or was I taking advantage of a bug in the previously version?

Any help is much appreciated.
