Hello everyone,
Environment: Windows server 2012, Tomcat 8.0, Geoserver 2.8.0. I deployed Geoserver into Tomcat. Tomcat can serve the index.html file located in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\geoserver, but it cannot serve any other file (see log below). I know there are a list of welcome files in web.xml such as welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>. Even including for example the index_backup.html in the welcome-file-list it returns 404 - The requested resource is not available. I've checked the permissions of the geoserver folder and the files inside it. They seems to be okay. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
