Hi Chris,
I have already a Root folder /git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps, I see
the files index.jsp and index.jsp has below configuration.
So should I add server.xml under ROOT folder aswell with localhost and
example.com such that both the urls are accessible. ? Please suggest
<% response.sendRedirect("/towl"); %>
Thanks,
amm
