Automatic contexts/WAR file not working

[Fran Fabrizio <ff...@mmrd.com>]

I'm trying to distribute an application as a WAR file (myapp.war).  I drop the war file into
tomcat/webapps, and restart tomcat.  Tomcat successfully expands the war file into its corresponding
myapp/ directory. The startup messages say:

Context log: path="/myapp" Automatic context load docBase="/usr/local/apache/tomcat/webapps/myapp"
Context log: path="/myapp" Adding context path="/myapp"  docBase="/usr/local/apache/tomcat/webapps/myapp"

And yet:

http://myserver/myapp/    reports "Page Not Found"

I know the tomcat install is working fine otherwise, as I have another web application running well (I
specified its context in the server.xml file).

Any hints?

Thanks,
Fran

Sorry to disturb.  Just wanted to call off the dogs, I figured out the problem.  I had incorrectly setup the
tomcat-apache.conf file.  It worked fine when I went directly to the tomcat port.  Sorry for taking up list
space!
