Every computer with a TCP/IP stack on it defines localhost as 127.0.0.1. 127.0.0.1 is a special IP address, that always means "local device" no matter what. Computers and browsers only talk in numbers, not names. It doesn't matter what you put in the URL, if your browser can't find the IP address that equals the name, you will get an error.
If you are on a UNIX-variant, the file you want is /etc/hosts. If you are on Windows, the file you want is %WINDOWS%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Note that if you have never edited the file before on Windows, it won't exist. Instead, you will want to copy %WINDOWS%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.sam to %WINDOWS%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and edit it. You will want, at a minimum, one line in that file: 127.0.0.1 localhost If you want "testme" to work, you will need to add: 127.0.0.1 testme Only then can your computer find the IP address it needs to ask Tomcat running on your machine for some content.
