I am planning to change the webapps folder in tomcat server to use another folder.

I got to know that to do this we need to change appBase attribute in server.xml file, but how to give the full path in windows environment?

It is not detecting if I give something like below

<Host name="localhost" appBase="C:Userswebapps"
 unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

Could you please suggest how to do it. I am new to using tomcat

Try using / instead of , since the is sometimes used as an escape character.

Yes, that's what I meant. StackOverflow messed up my comment, because it also treats as an escape character.

It's probably escaping your backslashes. Try this:

appBase="C:\Users\webapps"

can you try appBase="file:C:/Users/webapps" Also check your permissions on that folder to make sure tomcat can acces it.
