Hi,

I have set up tomcat and eclipse. Starting tomcat via eclipse I can access the localhost:8080/ tomcat wellcome page.

But when I run list after the deploy commad I get the following error:

Buildfile: C:\Users\Artjom\Desktop\xy_ids\xy_ids\build.xml
usage:
[echo] neargear_ids build file

[echo] install --> Install application in Tomcat
[echo] reload --> Reload application in Tomcat
[echo] start --> Start Tomcat application
[echo] stop --> Stop Tomcat application
[echo] list --> List Tomcat applications
build:
deploy:
list:

BUILD FAILED
C:\Users\Artjom\Desktop\xy_ids\xy_ids\build.xml:13 3: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://localhost:8080/manager/list

Total time: 160 milliseconds

the information in tomcat_user.xml and in build.properties in regards to the user informaition are equal.

please help

could you pls post your complete build.xml file as well. that may give some more clear picture of how you have configured it. I am sure there is something wrong with your welcome file. check the redirection tag if you are redirecting it

[mujahed]

are you trying to build spring step by step application. which app are you trying let me know pls.

Step 1.4 in Spring Tutorial

my friend you are getting that error because build.properties file which you have copied is not pointing to proper location of your tomcat_home directory. make sure you have tomcat_home path set.
Also which tomcat version are you using if 5.5 then point to lib dir.

[ArtjomZab]

build.properties
# Ant properties for building the neargear app

appserver.home=c:/apache_tomcat
# for Tomcat 5 use $appserver.home}/server/lib
# for Tomcat 6 use $appserver.home}/lib
appserver.lib=${appserver.home}/lib

deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps

tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost:8080/manager
tomcat.manager.username=tomcat
tomcat.manager.password=s3cret

I do not see the problem in build.properties. I use Tomcat 6
