失败-在Tomcat 7中出现错误：如果在server.xml中定义了上下文，则无法上传War文件“ WhitePagesAddressLookup.war”

Question

I have tried to get rid of the 404 tomcat error. After quite a bit of research I realise that my tocat7 manager is not deploying my war file. I am getting this error: FAIL - War file "WhitePagesAddressLookup.war" cannot be uploaded if context is defined in server.xml Can anyone tell me why this is so? I have put my .war file inside of my eclipse folder and outside on my desktop both but placement does not affect the "fail" error.

By reading the error you get, I guess it's because the context WhitePagesAddressLookup is defined in the <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml , which is not compatible with dynamic deploying. Better stop Tomcat, remove the correspondant Context node from the server.xml , restart Tomcat, and try to re-deploy it.
