I copied the content of war directory to the web_app (which is my public_html directory). Then I restarted tomcat, still I got the same error

Please check your network connection and try again -- ERROR-- does the javascript file generated by the GWT sends request to the wrong servlet? does it point to /mainarea/greet all the time?
