having a problem with undeploy in tomcat web manager

["Blohm, Ed" <ed...@transcore.com>]

I am having problems with the tomcat web manager.  When I try to undeploy my
webapp using the ant task undeploy, I get an error that looks like:

undeploy:
 [undeploy] FAIL - Cannot remove document base for path /

I can stop, start and reload my webapp using the ant tasks, but not undeploy
or remove the webapp.  I am running tomcat 4.1.24 and redhat 7.1. Thanks for
any help.

Eddie

Did you originally use the Ant manager tasks to "deploy" the 
application?  If not, you need to use "install" and "remove".  "deploy" and 
"undeploy" are a special case for remote deployment of a .war file using 
HTTP PUT which normal browsers don't support.  So, if you didn't use the 
Ant manager "deploy" task to deploy the application in the first place, 
don't use "undeploy" to undeploy the application.
