Why is the tomcat welcome page showing?
Hey all, In server.xml I have a Host section set up with a Context that has a path set to . 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. If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations! Why is my webapp not showing in my browser? Do I have to set up a DocumentIndex type parameter like in Apache? How do I disable the ROOT context?

To follow up on this.. I removed the ROOT folder from the webapps.. and it still shows up even when I have re-defined the default Context. Where does the welcome page get rendered?

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. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

RE: Why is the tomcat welcome page showing?
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.
