Did anyone ever come up with an answer for this? I've searched exhaustively about this with no luck. Maybe I'm just missing something, but...
I am experiencing the same thing with Tomcat 4.0.2-LE / JVM 1.4.0 / Apache 1.3.23. This is REALLY annoying, but if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd love to know. Here is my web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.d td"> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>PostMultipartServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>PostMultipartServlet</display-name> <description>multipart/form-data test servlet</description> <servlet-class>org.athlonia.servlet.test.PostMultipartServlet</servlet-class > </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>PostMultipartServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/PostMultipartServlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <session-config> <session-timeout> 30 </session-timeout> </session-config> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app> when I try to hit the page: http://localhost/multipart/ I get a page cannot be displayed error in IE 5.5, saying something about a dns error. If I do http://localhost/multipart/index.html, I get the desired page. My httpd.conf mod_webapp section looks like this: # # Webapp: Tomcat (Catalina) 4.0 connector # <IfModule mod_webapp.c> WebAppConnection warpConnection warp localhost:8008 WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/ WebAppDeploy multipart warpConnection /multipart/ </IfModule> Let's see.. what else... My server.xml section looks like this: -- snip -- <!-- Define an Apache-Connector Service --> <Service name="Tomcat-Apache"> <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector" port="8008" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="false" appBase="/home/httpd/webapps" acceptCount="10" debug="0"/> <!-- Replace "localhost" with what your Apache "ServerName" is set to --> <Engine className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine" name="Apache" defaultHost="www.athlonia.org" debug="0"> <!-- Global logger unless overridden at lower levels --> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="/var/log/catalina" prefix="apache_catalina_" suffix=".log" timestamp="true"/> <!-- Because this Realm is here, an instance will be shared globally --> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" /> <!-- Define the default virtual host --> <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="/home/httpd/webapps" unpackWARs="false"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" debug="0"/> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="/var/log/catalina" prefix="localhost_access_" suffix=".log" pattern="common"/> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="/var/log/catalina" prefix="localhost_" suffix=".log" timestamp="true"/> <!-- Multipart Test Webapp Context --> <Context path="/multipart" docBase="multipart.war" debug="0"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="/var/log/catalina" prefix="webapp_localhost_multipart_" suffix=".log" timestamp="true"/> </Context> </Host> </Service> -- snip -- Also, I noticed that the web.xml for the examples doesn't have a <welcome-file-list> section, but it's behavior seems correct, with the exception that it's index.html is in a /jsp or /servlet subdirectory. I tried removing the <welcome-file-list> section from my web.xml and still got the same incorrect behavior as with it in place. So... Any information would be much appreciated! Thanks. Kendal L.
