What are you using as a servlet container? Tomcat, Resin, etc....

You should change the context mapping name. If you are using Tomcat, this is specified by the attribute "path" of tha tag <Context>, like

<Context path="/myforum" docBase="/usr/local/jforum/" ..>

i'm using JRun4. i changed the following:

web.xml:
<!-- <servlet-name>jforum</servlet-name> -->
<servlet-name>forums</servlet-name>
<servlet-mapping>
<!-- <servlet-name>jforum</servlet-name> -->
<servlet-name>forums</servlet-name>

jrun-web.xml:
<!-- <context-root>/jforum</context-root> -->
<context-root>/forums</context-root>

Then, recycled the server. If I access http://mysite/forums, it says "Not Found

The requested URL /forums was not found on this server."

if i access the old URL, http://mysite/jforum, it shows JRUN default 404 page.

What could be wrong here?

hehe.. I removed jrun two or three days ago from my machine. I'm not sure, but if you change the *directory* name, it will not work as expected? (considering that hot deploy will register the webapp as the name of the directory)

My current Jforum directory is here: /opt/jrun4/servers/news/JForum-2.1.4/

In my jrun-web.xml file, I have context root set to: /jforum (when i installed it). i changed it to: /forum, pointing the base to: /opt/jrun4/servers/news/JForum-2.1.4/

ANy help is appreciated.
