[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.99 Beta 2 - CWC default context not r ecognized

[Delfos, Jacob]

Yes, they are definitely set. I copied my configuration from my previous CWC
setup (1.0.4). I copied it 1 parameter at a time, it should all be correct.
However, I do not have any indication it is accessing the cwc2.xml file at
all, because if I temporarily remove it, I get the same error. Should the
directory structure remain as it is given in the beta2 zip file? This means
that the config directory is at the same level as the CWC2 directory (as
opposed to inside the htdocs directory). Also, should the htdocs directory
be as empty as it is, or was I supposed to move all files around to make it
similar to the old-style setup?

Regards,

Jacob

Can u verify that in cwc2.xml that you have the following paths set 
correctly?:

     <context-param>
         <param-name>default_context</param-name>
         <param-value>world_context.xml</param-value>
         <description>Default map context to load when starting this 
application</description>
     </context-param>

     <context-param>
         <param-name>context_root</param-name>
         <param-value>/ms4w/apps/chameleon/cwc2/contexts/</param-value>
         <description>Absolute root path to context files. All context 
should be in that folder (or sub folder).</description>
     </context-param>
