- Error -404 resources not found


Hello,

I just installed TomCat (6 .*.) on a Windows XP server:

 1. I setup the system variables Java_Home to my JDK (Not JDK Bin)
 2.  I edited my Context.xml file second tag line to <Context reloadable="true">
 3. And I commented out some lines Web.xml files (mapping,invoking)

 When I run TOMCat from the command line, it loads properly with no problem, but when I open up Any browser (firefox, internet explorer)  I get an error -404 resources not found. 


   I have uninstalled TOMCAT and JDK and reinstalled them, and get the same problem. I even checked the TOMCAT logs, but the logs don't mention anything out of the ordinary. I even checked TOMCATs documentation, but it seems that I have done everything right.

I even did this on 3 machines with same problems, so it must be ME! who is the problem. Has anyone ever had this problem.

Thanks!!
I appreciate your time.

What lines in what web.xml (yes, there is more than one web.xml) have 
you commented out and what's the URL you are requesting?

it''s JAVA_HOME., not Java_Home -- case sensitive

Does the base Tomcat install work? Welcome page, examples, etc.?

it's context.xml, not Context.xml -- case sensitive -- and what do you mean
by "second tag line"?  a context.xml file should contain <Context/> as the
root element.

It's 'web.xml', not Web.xml -- and is this in your webapp or some other?

And you're sure you don't have a firewall preventing access to the
port Tomcat is using?
