Couple of questions "DocumentRoot and <Directory> have been removed." Why did you do that? " <Directory /usr/local/tomcat/webapps5/ROOT> Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> " I think you need Alias directive here in front of the <Directory> to bring that directory into apache document root. "AllowOverride All" Do you have .htaccess file in that directory?
