Can't get Tomcat to load new "contexts"

[De...@mercata.com]

I am a relatively-new Tomcat user and I can't get Tomcat to recognize and
load a new context that I defined.  I'm working with tomcat 3.0 on WinNT
4.0.
 
Here's what I did to demonstrate the problem:
 
1) Copied .../tomcat/examples tree to .../tomcat/examples2
2) Edited .../tomcat/etc/server.xml and added the following
        <Context path="/examples2" docBase="examples2"
            defaultSessionTimeOut="30" isWARExpanded="true"
            isWARValidated="false" isInvokerEnabled="true"
            isWorkDirPersistent="false"/>

(In other words, a cut and paste of the entry for "examples", with a "2"
appended....)
 
3) Used the entry for "/examples" in .../tomcat/etc/tomcat.conf
        ApJServMount /examples   /root

to create and add:
        ApJServMount /examples2   /root

(However, isn't tomcat.conf actually only used by Apache?)
 
4) Invoke tomcat:  .../tomcat/startup.bat
 
Here's the log I got in the console window:
 
Tomcat Web Server Version 3.0
Configuring web service using "default"
Configuring web service using "file:C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache/tomcat/examples/WEB-INF/web.xml"
default: init
jsp: init
Configuring web service using "default"
Configuring web service using "file:C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache/tomcat/webpages/WEB-INF/web.xml"
default: init
jsp: init
Starting tcp endpoint on 8080 with
org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnection
Handler
Starting tcp endpoint on 8007 with
org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12ConnectionHandler
 
 
 
So, it appears that nothing "happens" with "examples2". Any ideas what I'm
missing??
 
Thanks in Advance,

Sorry about that, the config file is ../tomcat/server.xml,
the one in /etc/ is a sample that should be removed.

All those problems will be adressed in 3.1, we reorganized the directory
structure to use conf/ for all configs, and contexts will be automatically
added.
