FAIL - Application at context path /[context] could not be started
???
List,
I did an archive search. Nothing meaningful returned, so I'm posting
what must be a regular question.
I can get a development tree to install via the Manager interface, but I
can't get it started. This seems to be a UNIX problem at the moment.
For example on Windoze:
Install directory or WAR file located on server
Context Path (optional): /foobar
XML Configuration file URL:
WAR or Directory URL: file:c:/path/to/foobar/dev
will load and start.
The very same application on Linux/Mac OS X:
Install directory or WAR file located on server
Context Path (optional): /foobar
XML Configuration file URL:
WAR or Directory URL: file:/home/user/path/to/foobar/dev
will load, but consistently fails to start.
The error, not explained in the Manager documentation anywhere BTW :
FAIL - Application at context path /foobar could not be started
What I can't figure out is this very application will work with the
catalina.ant tasks! Windoze or Unix. So the problem seems to be with the
HTML interface.
So, what's the trick? Anyone? Oh, I did 777 the dev tree. Didn't help. :(
Many thanks,
Tim

My home directory is correctly set by default to 700. Meaning /home is
neither world readable or executable. Opps!
Setting /home/tstone to 755 fixed the problem. Doh!
But that is not a recommended solution. :D Moving the dev tree somewhere
safer for 755.
Many thanks again! Thanks for the patience as well.

What's the console output? how far did you get before you encounter that
specific error? Sounds to me like a mis-configuration of the context path
problem. You sure you have the right deploy descriptor in your war file?

No one can field this? Maybe I'm too close. Nothing is working now. Not
the ant task not the manager interface. Nothing.
The answer is not obvious to me. Nothing seems to be logging anywhere
for me to debug it.
Many thanks again,
