Looks like it is complaining about the path. Have you tried using C:\edevis
instead of C:/edevis for your appBase and docBase?

Subject: Tomcat 5.0.7 Host default Context docBase


Hi

Trying to run a Tomcat 4.1.24 web app using Tomcat 5.0.7.

Host and context parameters :

<Host name="edevis" debug="0" appBase="c:/edevis" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" >
 <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs" prefix="edevis_access_log."   suffix=".txt"
pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
 <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="edevis_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
 <Context path="" docBase="c:/edevis" reloadable="true"
workDir="c:/edevis/work/org/apache/jsp"/>
</Host>

Whatever I put in this virtual host default context docBase (c:/edevis, or
.) , when I start tomcat, I get :

and tomcat doesn't want to start

If i suppress <Context path="" docBase="c:/edevis" ..... , I don't have any
error, but the web app doesn't run.

The jakarta docs don't show any difference about virtual hosts and default
contexts between 4.1.x and 5.0.x
