Hi Charles,
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I'm using Tomcat 6.0 on Solaris
I understand it's not ideal, however, I have to work this way because of a
framework built for a different platform. The deployment mechanisms are such
that they don't deploy to ROOT.
Anyway with you're inspiring words of webapp isn't being deployed
properly got me going and rebuilding, killing the jdk and starting up
again. Something got cleared and it's working again.
Very much obliged,
Carl Furst

In server.xml I have a Host section set up with a Context that
has a path set to .
Unfortunate that you choose to use the least desirable method of setting the
default webapp.
I see in the logs that the webapp assigned to that path is indeed
executing when I hit '/'. However the browser shows the Tomcat homepage.
Possibly browser caching, but also possible that your webapp isn't being
deployed properly.
How do I disable the ROOT context?
You can't - there must always be a ROOT context; you have just chosen a poor
(and conflicting) way to specify it.
What you should be doing:
1) Tell us the version of Tomcat you're using.
2) Stop Tomcat.
3) Remove the existing ROOT directory from the Host appBase directory.
4) Rename your webapp to ROOT (or ROOT.war, if appropriate).
5) Remove the Context element from server.xml.
6) Remove the contents of Tomcat's work and temp directories.
7) Remove the ROOT.xml file (if it exists) from conf/Catalina/[host].
8) Restart Tomcat.
