Problems with 2.4.4 / Tomcat 4.0.1

[scotia]

Hi all,

Having problems getting the integrated JBOSS/Tomcat (2.4.4/4.0.1) to run on W2K......

If I run the Tomcat stand alone (Catalina/bin/startup.bat script), then it runs fine, servering HTML and servlets on 8080. I'm guessing its using its own HTTP server as I havn't explicitly integrated Apache with mod_JServ.

However, when I try the jboss/bin/run_with_catalina.bat file, the integrated jboss/tomcat appears to run up normally (I get no errors and a "[INFO,Default] JBoss-2.4.4 Started in 0m:14s.721" message), but it does not serve anything on 8080. Something is running on 8080 though, as the jboss console gives the following message whenever I request "localhost:8080/index.html".

[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] StandardHost[localhost]: MAPPING configuration error for request URI

I have uncommemted the doc base definitions in the server.xml (ie.




but I always get the same MAPPING configuration error shown above. (Am I right in thinking that the embedded Tomcat does not look at the server.xml file???).

I think the install works fine, as "http://localhost:8080/jboss/index.html" runs the sample servlet/EJB from the "G:\JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1\jboss\tmp\deploy\Default\tomcat-test.ear\web1001\index.html" dir. So I have to be doing something wrong!!!


Apologise if I'm missing something obvious here, but jboss could really use a "getting started" guide. Paid my $10 for the docs, but they jump straight into MBean configuration. Is there any doc that defines the basics of runnig a simple app with HTML, JSP, Servlets and EJB to verify that the installatin works fine????

Any help or directions would be appreciated - I know I'm not the only person having this issue right now.

Cheers,

Scott.

Does the forums database use tokens, or this string
stored about 4000 times in the database :-)

I know add it to FAQ.

I think there is a problem with the forum -- when I attached a file to my previous post, the subject and reply text were truncated.

Here is the text which should have appeared in my previous post:
=======================================
After being on this list only a short while and reading how many people are confused by the Error 500 when attempting to open the http://localhost:8080 URL, I created a jboss-root.ear which can be deployed in JBoss to serve up the root context. The default page simply contains a link to the /jboss context and a comment about how if the user sees this page then their configuration is working correctly.

I have attached the file to this post.

Michael - can't seem to get your file from the forum. Did it post okay?
