Server.xml

[Anthony Scott <as...@interaccess.com>]

I have a problem with Tomcat reading application outside of /webapp. I
have setup my webserver to mount my client box to read public_html
directory. Apache work fine for  http://www.rose.com/~sco/ but my

attempt to config server.xml to read the client directory has failed.  I
added the following to my server.xml file


 <Context path="/Jack"
                 docBase="/home/sco/Jack"
                 crossContext="false"
                 debug="9"
                 reloadable="true"
                  >
        </Context>

I get the following when I restart Tomcat
 .............................................................................

"2001-05-10 08:47:34 - ContextManager: calc work dir /opt/Tomcat/work

However http://www.rose.com/Jack/ ...    doesn't work and Tomcat doesn't
produce an error but Apache  has the following error in the logs.

[Thu May 10 00:00:45 2001] [error] [client X.X.X.X] File does not exist:
/home
/httpd/html/Jack/

Network Setup

Apache 1.3.7
Tomcat 3.2

Webserver: www.rose.com
Client :         www.sco.com

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
