Thanks for your response. I placed it under ROOT and I get the message HTTP Status 404 - video/3gp/video.3gp.
What's interesting is that if I enter http://localhost:8080/ I get the admin page and then if I append video I see directory listing containing the 3gp directory, append 3gp and see video.3gp etc. I can get to the file this way but I want to specify the entire URL at once... -----Original Message----- From: P Y [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 12:07 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Serve a file instead of a page using Tomcat.
