Hi,


I'm desperately trying to build and deploy a web application that I downloaded with the worst instructions ever...



So here are my questions:



1. Step two in the installation asked to copy the file called myapp.xml to [TOMCAT_HOME]/conf/Catalina/localhost (step one is build). Fine. This file contains some configuration about the docBase. What does that mean? what value should it contain?



2. Part of the same step in the installation involves setting up postgreSQL. At the end of these two steps the readme file says that after restarting tomcat - going to http://localhost:8080/myapp/ should succeed - not work yet, but not give an error. or as they say it "will be launched but not yet work" - whatever that means. I don't know what I should expect to happen really, but I'm getting a tomcat resource not available message.



3. Next step involves configuration of the ant properties for the deploy task and a file called webapps.properties. In both I have to set parameters like: webapps.proj, webapps.path, workspace. For example workspace is used in such way:

			

			webapp.home=${workspace}/${webapp.proj}/webapps/${webapp.path}
