Once an application has been selected based upon context-path match (e.g. /stats) Tomcat won't check any other application. So if you have application /stats and look for /stats/no-file.html you'll get a 404 even if ROOT/stats/no-file.html exists. > /.well-known/acme-challenge/test.html to map to: > www.mydomain.tld/ROOT/.well-known/acme-challenge/test.html What I > get is /stats/index.html > maps to: www.mydomain.tld/ROOT/stats/index.html > /.well-known/acme-challenge/test.html maps to: > www.mydomain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/test.html You haven't told us what apps you have configured, so it's tough to tell what "should" be happening. > Christopher: Would love to hear your talk & meet, but I won't be at > the conference.

I think that's because lots of people (a) don't understand the issuance model for LE or (b) don't really know how to configure Tomcat. It's dead simple to get LE to issue a certificate using only Tomcat and a properly-configured DNS name. > The main solution is to put Apache httpd in front of Tomcat so the > url gets routed to the right directory.

Certbot, for instance, can self-host a web server, so if you are going to stand-up httpd just for LE cert issuance, then just allow certbot to host itself instead. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJZCeVpAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYiyAP/0QujIQD6pibcCzsqgl2TIZF x2jgUkCxzTLZ4BjFOlT03IAbrgLcQd928iy8JxrYepNLYq19VSZUDccex7e8pynO mWoAgx0MVB8e5CR+UuMq5B9oJ7H2aA/+ARWYl9mpRrT9rRy/187ATcwA1Y5eQcrP MOSguwt7vpRqBaX925cp/DbAeV6G5P62Wfxd/MKMaX57heC5jICmI085XGGBkeLF XIJhtmzh7fYD/zAJsISjrDuhNeOv1X8ObsJ4po+IYkEIMHTu9DWNchZfIPUFrhqi InKsM/yeLmA2eSK8WhrJwvfuXvdv88TC+admQWHlwJXnfbQDsxYVH11PulWqkSAk 9/W7YQ0uakgS6qE1OoHACgAUGxP0lYekLtExPNCHtgBIuSmD+hRPgG54hLm0c/q1 uPIFxvhKu/7gFBdkbGi0icOAkjLwE+fnXYwzUMClT2oHLK3Z2wByxizbQeJlQB4R mp54XzTh4tMSEsEYmGd1s/x7P6QiFWT31iRLbXpRbHJO1HyYT+ea8j5Aioki0J4h iyy9KnxecoZomDNoUfOmk/c/+fTIuDvVnSVlK+2Ol0EwYHAZv3+UrQK5WFy/C+KD Vxk97pxyE3mXWolHuFvzjfiClhCuWGzzJQYOaESal3JmA+zlnC2QZQOv/50sxIqs olUmniCCe41bIOvIWGXq =PcH6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
