tomcat error while deploying WAR file

Question

Please help me with the below exceptions that I obtain while trying to deploy a WAR file on Tomcat server.

07:46:50,076  WARN HostConfig:606 - Exception whil         


        

Answer 1

I see this problem when auto-deploy is set to true and I am uploading the war file over a slow connection to a Linux server. For some reason, Tomcat attempts to deploy the WAR before it has finished uploading to the server. Turning off auto-deploy and doing it manually, or ftping the file to a directory on the server other then webapps and then moving it into webapps fixes the problem.

Seems to be a problem with Tomcat not waiting until the file is finished being uploaded before trying to expand it.
