Re: index.html and ipaddress ?

[Peng Tuck Kwok]

If you are running windows you can use your machine name to access the url but I doubt that'll work from outside. As for not using the port number 8080, you can configure tomcat to use port 80. Most browsers understand that webservers listen at port 80, so if you configure tomcat to listen on port 80 you can access the url without specifying the port.
How to change the port? take a peek in the server.xml file, and look for 8080, change it to 80.

but all the way do u know how to fix this problem i have ----- i want to replace the IPADDRESS of the machine on which TOMCAT is running with some name, lets say 'IAMTOMCAT' and can we get rid of the port number in the address for running the TOMCAT, so in the end can the address look like this -----
http://IAMTOMCAT/index.html

And do you want the current contents of the ROOT directory to remain
available?

If there's no reason you can't, then just put your stuff in ROOT. If there
is, but you want to keep the current contents of ROOT, then just redefine
your contexts in server.xml so that / points to swapneel and something else
points to ROOT.
