can't save a context.

["Jay G. Scott" <gl (at) arlut.utexas.edu>]

okay.  i'm being seen.  thanks for that, at least.

i can't save a context.  I go to catalina-> localhost->make a context
i put in the paths.
i click save, it says save successful.
i click commit changes.

i then try to use the context, on a file some vendor supplied, called
about.jsp.  it does not compile--that's another problem, but maybe
that'll help diagnose.

if i put a flat.html file of my own in that location, i can see that
file 100%.  so the context has "taken," if you will.

i do a find /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 -name ibi_apps\*
and it does not show a ibi_apps.xml file.  it does show some others:
./work/Catalina/localhost/ibi_apps

if i start/stop tomcat, the context is gone.

how'd i install?  like this:
as root
mkdir /apache-tomcat-5.5.17
chown jgs:omssys /apache-tomcat-5.5.17

su - jgs
cd /

umask 022

gtar xf apache-tomcat-5.5.17.tar

gtar xf apache-tomcat-5.5.17-admin.tar
-------------

edited startup.sh, shutdown.sh, tomcat-users.xml.

the startup, shutdown i presume cannot be the problem--otherwise,
things wouldn't start at all, right?  i can start/stop and see
the processes when they're running.

solaris 9
java 1.5.0_07
tomcat 5.5.17
i had apache-1.3.29 but i can use another or leave it out....

 ls -ld /apache-tomcat-5.5.17
drwxr-xr-x  11 jgs      omssys       512 Jun 15 16:26 /apache-tomcat-5.5.17

i have this same problem on another machine.  i'm inclined to think
it's a bug in 5.5.17....  i'm grasping at straws.

thanks for whatever.

j.
