When I installed Apache Tomcat 4.1.24, I downloaded this new conf/server.xml document that uncommented the line:
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0" />
Now, I want to be able to serve files that are located on my C-drive without having to copy them into my webapps/root folder. If I change docBase, will I be able to do so? If so, what do I change it to?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Rather than changing the default docbase, you create as many new contexts as you like. Here's a couple of examples from my own server.xml on a Windows box:

These are them available as
[code]
http://localhost:8080/garden/
and
http://localhost:8080/lawns/
[/code}
respectively.
hth,

Thanks for the help! I added the following line by editing in word and then resaving as an .xml:

However, when I went to open the xml file up, I got an error saying invalid character found in text content.
Sorry, but I am new at this. Should I be editing the xml file some other way.

Absolutely! There's no telling what Word will do to a file. Most probably it's turing your quotes into so-called "smart quotes".
If you have nothing else to use, use Notepad or a similar text editor.
