beginner question...

[Padhu Vinirs <p....@verizon.net>]

Tomcat 4.0.4.

I am trying to use the Manager application to deploy and start a 
web-app. Have created the directory under CATALINA_HOME/webapps ( 
c:\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder ). Even have a default web.xml under 
web-inf. Have put a one-liner index.html under my app directory.

I call manager app as follows:

http://localhost:8080/manager/install?path=/myapp&war=file:/tomcat40/webapps/ExamBuilder

Install is successful. I can do a list and it shows up.

Now I try:

http://localhost:8080/manager/start?path=/exambuilder

I get the following error:

FAIL - Application at context path /exambuilder could not be started


I checked the logs:

2002-09-19 09:16:43 Manager: start: Starting web application at 
'/exambuilder'
2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardHost[localhost]: standardHost.start /exambuilder
2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Error initializing 
resources: Document base 
C:\tomcat40\webapps\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder does not exist or is 
not a readable directory
2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Context startup 
failed due to previous errors
2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Exception during 
cleanup after start failed
LifecycleException:  Container StandardContext[/exambuilder] has not 
been started
    at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1147)
......


Why is the server looking at 
C:\tomcat40\webapps\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder and not 
C:\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder ?


Even during installation, I see an exception:

2002-09-19 09:16:26 Manager: install: Installing web application at 
'/exambuilder' from 'file:/tomcat40/webapps/ExamBuilder'
2002-09-19 09:16:26 StandardHost[localhost]: Installing web application 
at context path /exambuilder from URL file:/tomcat40/webapps/ExamBuilder
2002-09-19 09:16:26 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Error initializing 
resources: Document base 
C:\tomcat40\webapps\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder does not exist or is 
not a readable directory
2002-09-19 09:16:26 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Context startup

    at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1147)
    at 
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.stop(StandardContext.java:3495)


But if I try,

http://localhost:8080/manager/install?path=/myapp&war=file:/ExamBuilder

the install itself fails.



Any ideas appreciated.


Thanks
