ok, thanks a bunch :)
Sadly I'm away over the weekend and cant test the configuration just
yet. But as soon as I get back again I will try it and let you know how
it went :)

R2M.xml? where did that come from? it should be SCM.xml, although the
name isn't important.
Your original setup was confusing, cause you have RM2/SCM (inside of
webapps)
so which one is the webapp, RM2 directory, or the SCM directory?
They key to your problem though, is probably the <Context path="">
instead of <Context path="/">

ok, and my R2M.xml configuration file should reside inside of
$CATALINA_HME/appserver/R2M ? or did I missunderstand you on that part?
Will try it out, thanks a million. Really nice of you taking youre time
explaining this to me :)

the more logical setup would be (assuming the SMC is a webapp)
<Engine name="appserver"
debug="0"
defaultHost="R2M">
<Host name="R2M"
appBase="/var/www/webapps/RM2"
autoDeploy="false"
Startup="false"
unpackWARs="false"
deployXML="true"
debug="0"/>
</Engine>
<Context path=""
docBase="SMC"
reloadable="true"
debug="0"/>
I changed three things
1. Host.appBase
2. Context.path
3. Context.docBase

Hi, thanks for answering=)
Im still a little confused so I will try to describe what kind of setup
I want and we will se if it becomes clearer.
I want my internet files to reside inside of
/var/www/webapps/R2M/SMC
Now I want apache to forward all pages that are jsp (*.jsp) and all
servlets thats are mapped through ip/servlets/* to tomcat.
As it is right now I have HelloWorld.html and HelloWorld.jsp inside the
SMC folder and apache finds them both and the .jsp file gets forwarded
to tomcat (it says that tomcat cant find the file). Now where is tomcat
looking for the files?
$CATALINA_HME/conf/server.xml (engine part)
<Engine name="appserver"
debug="0"
defaultHost="R2M">
<Host name="R2M"
appBase="/var/www/webapps/RM2"
autoDeploy="false"
Startup="false"
unpackWARs="false"
deployXML="true"
debug="0"/>
</Engine>
then I read that it was good to seperate the context part into a
different file for every host and I understood that they were supposed
to reside inside of $CATALINA_HME/conf/<engine
name>/<application_name>.xml
So I have the file $ and it holds
<Context path="/"
docBase="SMC"
reloadable="true"
debug="0"/>
Did I set this up wrong?

Hi all
so heres the deal. I want my tomcat installation (5.5.17) to load
pages from /var/www/webapps/R2M/SMC
Im also running a virtual host setup so I edit my server.xml file and
point the appBase for the directory to /var/www/webapps and then I have
the context part of the configuration inside
$ in which I point the docBase
ok, this path is $CATALINA_HME/<Engine name>/<Host name>
are you saying you renamed your engine element in server.xml to appserve?
variabel to "R2M/SMC"
this is a weird setup, by setting appBase to /var/www/webapps, tomcat
would want webapps in that directory
so you would have the app in /var/www/webapps/SMC
and tomcat would auto deploy it
Now when I point my webbrowser to a jsp file in my directory I recieve a
404 error :(
What went wrong in my configuration?
Any tip/help is greatly appreciated.
