Server.xml

Frustration abounds:
I am plodding through a tomcat tutorial and it suggests modifying the
Server.xml file to include a new context path line to allow for playing with
a sample file.
Everything works tickety boo until I do that, then Tomcat won't startup at
all. When I enter the startup command I just get a really brief flash of
screen and poof! It's gone again.
When I take the new line out of the server.xml file the problem persists:
poof! Gone.
That is the only change I make.
Any thoughts?

Check in your logs directory.  $CATALINA_HOME/logs or %CATALINA_HOME%\logs
