With this platform, you need to be very careful.  If you run with the nativ=
e libraries (APR), and you are using IPv4 addresses, you will need to speci=
fy the "address=3D" attribute in all your <Connector> tags in server.xml.  =
You'd need to do that anyway if running multiple instances, but you have to=
 even for a single Tomcat instance on that platform.=0D=0A=0D=0A>=20=0D=0A>=

=0A=0D=0AYou don't need to duplicate the entire Tomcat structure for your w=
ebapp.  Get rid of everything else in C:\WebApp1 except the ROOT and sslcer=
ts directory.  Then configure everything else in the C:\Tomcat directory st=
ructure, particularly the server.xml file.  Change the ROOT.xml file to poi=
nt to C:\WebApp1\ROOT and you should be fine.=0D=0A=0D=0AOf course, re-read=
ing the Tomcat documentation is highly suggested, as a number of your base =
assumptions are incorrect.=0D=0A=0D=0A>=20=0D=0A> Question:=0D=0A> 1. How s=
