Kyle,
To add on to that, the <context ..> should be located inside the <Host ..> element. So the easiest is to paste the context just before the closing </Host> element. That also works with Tomcat 5, Tomcat 5 will than automatically generate the geonetwork.xml file Roberto send you.
<Context debug="3" docBase="<<replace this with your path to the location of GeoNetwork>>/geonetwork/web" path="/geonetwork" reloadable="true" useNaming="false"/>
I case you are referring to GeoNetwork 1.2.1 and not to one of the GeoNetwork 2 beta releases, take care as there was an error in the context as we provided it in the installer. We corrected it in the documentation on SourceForge. It should look like (with your correct paths, you can check the Readme.txt file in the Documentation. It contains the correct context for your installation):
<Context path="/geonetwork" docBase="<<replace this with your path to the location of GeoNetwork>>/geonetwork/web" crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="false" />
Note: Take care that the paths used in the docBase atribute look different on Windows: e.g. docBase="c:\program files\geonetwork\web" instead of e.g. docBase="/use/local/geonetwork/web" on a UNIX system.
Hope this will make you and your boss happy 
Ciao,
Jeroen

Ciao Kyle,
I am using Tomcat 5.0.25; with this version, there is a geonetwork.xml configuration file inside tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/; you can find my configuration file attached.
If you are using Tomcat 4.x then you have to add an entry into the server.xml file, but I now don't have a running Tomcat 4 to look at now.
Tomorrow in FAO I will check and (hopefully) tell you the exact location in the server.xml file.Roberto

Hola Roberto,
I was wondering if you could help me, I'm having a problem getting
GeoNetwork up and running. My boss will kill me if I don't get it up
soon.Essentially, i think the problem is where exactly I add the code snipet
<Context... to in the server.xml file.Does it matter where it's inserted?
Otherwise, I've followed the instructions very carefully, however, it
doesn't seem to want to work for me haha.Thank you for your time,
Kyle
