newbie: tomcat partly works

["Jay G. Scott" <gl...@arlut.utexas.edu>]

i have several problems, but i think i need to address them one at a time.

tomcat 5.5.17
java
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode)

solaris 9
apache 1.3.29

problem:

i can't __SAVE__ a context PERMANENTLY.  if i click on save, and
then commit changes, it's there.  the stuff it finds does not work,
but it's found.  however, if i stop/start tomcat+apache, the
context i just made is not there.

i've tried changing many directories to mode 1777, in case it was
a permissions problem, didn't help.  i've looked at the log files,
and things don't look peachy but these things are HUGE.  which
one do you want to see?

also, when i stop/start things, many/all? configu .xml files
get "backed up".  i'm thought that might be normal, but is it an
indication that something didn't work right?  why would it want
to copy my server.xml file?  doesn't make sense....
