renamed war file fails to deploy

[orahi]

Hi all,

Has anyone run into this error before?

I renamed my war file, restarted tomcat and now the renamed war file fails to deploy. The catalina.out log file shows

org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE filter start

I didn’t change anything from the existing war file besides the name.

Sadly, I don't know why this isn't working. However, I do have a couple of servlets which I have renamed the WAR files, and they have deployed. For example, the eXist (XML DB) package is distributed as exist.war, but I have renamed it to xml.war. There are some configurations I have changed, but this is after the WAR deployed.

Have you tried manually exploding the WAR package?

Oh, and don't forgot to check the perms and owner on your WAR. For example, if Tomcat is running as user "tomcat", it wouldn't deploy your your WAR if it were rootther.
