You are right Tim, How I came to know about this might explain why !
I changed my war file to ROOT.war as this is situation in our website's tomcat. Now when I go to localhost:8080/ my application is displayed properly something like localhost:8080/eApp gives the custom 404 page I designed and placed in newly renamed ROOT folder. But When I am trying to reload my root using manager/html and at the same time trying to access localhost:8080/, tomcat do not show custom page rather it sends a blank page. So, is apache web server is the only option left for me ?? can virtual hosting be used here ?? Thanks and Regards: Quayum Sagri On 5/17/07, Tim Lucia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
That will work, but only if the root (/) context is available and running. This may or may not solve some or all of your problem(s).
