I have created a war file uatest.war, which my local copy of tomcat jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12 can pick up and output to a browser.

I then FTP this war file to a tomcat running on unix, also version tomcat-4.1.12.

When I attempt to start tomcat on unix I get the following error message:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : Doc base must point to a WAR file.

I removed all the war files and still get the same error:

Can anyone tell me what causes such an error thanks for any help.

Tony
