Thanks, but it still doesn't work! I removed the RewriteRule from httpd.conf and added the welcome-file-list section to the web.xml file. Now, when I go to my vanilla domain (www.smartmicro.com) I get this message:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.47 OpenSSL/0.9.7b DAV/2 mod_jk/1.2.4 Server at www.smartmicro.com Port 80 It's as if Apache isn't even trying to forward the request to Tomcat. What do you guys configure, next, to get www.domain.com requests to be processed by Tomcat?
