           Summary: can't delete and recreate '/' context
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows Server 2003
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bryan.mcelhenney@kla-tencor.com


I always install Tomcat on the C: drive and place my root context files on
another folder.  In the past, I have done this by deleting and recreating the /
context since I was not able to edit it through the administration utility.  On
5.5.9, attempts to do this resulted in the admin utility showing that it was
deleted when it really wasn't.  The only way I was able to get around this was
to create a ROOT.xml file in conf\Catalina\localhost and make my changes there.
 It would seem like either the administration utility should be able to change
the docbase -or- let the user remove/create it.  Also, creating the ROOT.xml
manually seems like a crazy hack that I never expected to actually work.
