can't save a context.
okay. i'm being seen. thanks for that, at least.
i can't save a context. I go to catalina-> localhost->make a context
i put in the paths.
i click save, it says save successful.
i click commit changes.
i then try to use the context, on a file some vendor supplied, called
about.jsp. it does not compile--that's another problem, but maybe
that'll help diagnose.
if i put a flat.html file of my own in that location, i can see that
file 100%. so the context has "taken," if you will.
i do a find /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 -name ibi_apps\*
and it does not show a ibi_apps.xml file. it does show some others:
./work/Catalina/localhost/ibi_apps
if i start/stop tomcat, the context is gone.
how'd i install? like this:
as root
mkdir /apache-tomcat-5.5.17
chown jgs:omssys /apache-tomcat-5.5.17
su - jgs
cd /
umask 022
gtar xf apache-tomcat-5.5.17.tar
gtar xf apache-tomcat-5.5.17-admin.tar
-------------
edited startup.sh, shutdown.sh, tomcat-users.xml.
the startup, shutdown i presume cannot be the problem--otherwise,
things wouldn't start at all, right? i can start/stop and see
the processes when they're running.
solaris 9
java 1.5.0_07
tomcat 5.5.17
i had apache-1.3.29 but i can use another or leave it out....
ls -ld /apache-tomcat-5.5.17
drwxr-xr-x 11 jgs omssys 512 Jun 15 16:26 /apache-tomcat-5.5.17
i have this same problem on another machine. i'm inclined to think
it's a bug in 5.5.17.... i'm grasping at straws.
thanks for whatever.

Hi
The other thing is please remove your TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourApp.war file
from webapps directory to some other place. Other wise you may loose your
settings again if you restart tomcat.
Ask me for any help,
Regards,
Dilan Kelanibandara

Hi,
Hi,
Rather saving your context.xml file in the place you specify, you can save
it in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourApp/META-INF/
And you can specify 'Context' in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourApp/WEB-INF/web.xml
The context should be at the end of web.xml , any way it depends on your
other resource definition.
Stick to tomcat documentation at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
Tomcat5.5 uses a different JNDI resource definition than Tomcat5. That is
why you are not allowed to save that file in the location you specify.
Reply me for any clarifications.

Dilan Kelanibandara

Re: can't save a context.
Posted by Leon Rosenberg <ro...@googlemail.com>.
ok...
just for the sake of problem identifying: can you stop your tomcat
go into webapps directory, create a new directory foo
change into foo, create an empty WEB-INF directory.
copy a plain html and a plain jsp file into webapps/foo, like foo.jsp
and foo.html
try http://host:port/foo/foo.html and http://host:port/foo/foo.jsp
and tell us what happens?
regards
Leon
