Hello! I was trying to install a web application on Tomcat 4.0.3 in the Department by typing "http://www.foo.edu:8080/manager/install?path=/app1&war=file:/path/to/war/bar.war" in the address bar of the browser at home, and the bar.war is on the www.foo.edu server machine. And I saw the following msg on the browser: OK - Installed application at context path /app1 But when I tried to access "http://www.foo.edu:8080/app1", the following error msg was shown: message /usr/share/tomcat4/work/localhost/app1//index$jsp.java (No such file or directory) I sshed to the server machine, and found there was no directory /usr/share/tomcat4/work/localhost/app1 Do I have to install the web application on the server machine and use "http://localhost:8080/manager/install?..."?
Thanks a lot!

It's because the person who started Tomcat has no write permission on work directory. Let root start Tomcat, and the problem was solved.
