Thanks Sven, I did how you suggested:
First I erased the caches: [EMAIL PROTECTED] num]# cd /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.12/work/Catalina/localhost [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]# rm -rf ./* [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]# ll total 0 At this point, I renamed with mv $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp, to index.jsp.ok: [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]# ls $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/ index.jsp.ok jakarta-banner.gif RELEASE-NOTES.txt tomcat.gif tomcat-power.gif WEB-INF Then I restarted Tomcat, and checked the cache: [EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]# ll /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.12/work/Catalina/localhost total 36 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 _ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 admin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 cart06 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 DBTest drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 jsp-examples drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 manager drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 paypal drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 servlets-examples drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 5 18:58 tomcat-docs We can see that the cache was re-created at startup by Tomcat. Now I browse to www.myurl.com:8080, and ... I get the index.jsp file (the one with "If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!"), as if I had not deleted it in Tomcat's ROOT context! I don't get it... All Tomcat Contexts created at install, like ROOT, behave in this way: modifying the jsp files, or erasing them, has no effect at all. Any hint would be highly appreciated.
