Section "Deploy using a Context configuration ".xml" file in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html says this should work: curl http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?config=file:/tmp/mycontext.xml --basic -u user:pass However, it fails with error: FAIL - Invalid context path null was specified Instead, path needs to be specified like this: curl http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?config=file:/tmp/mycontext.xml\&path=/foo --basic -u user:pass This bug was filed previously against the manager app (#46115 and #49451) and closed as RESOLVED FIXED, however, the documentation is still inconsistent.
This is a small subset of bug 47467. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 47467 ***
This is not a duplicate because this bug is against the *documentation*, not the code. If you change the code, the documentation wouldn't automatically be fixed would it? ;-)
