Just open your server.xml add line <Context path="" docBase="your-app-name" debug="99" reloadable="true"/> in the next line of your host configuration
example : <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Context path="" docBase="your-app-name" debug="99" reloadable="true"/> Thats it! you would found your application the default app , you can access it as http://your-host-name/ Cheers. -Azhar On 9/16/07, FastGorilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I have a problem with changing the default ROOT context to something else > (myroot). > > > #### Specs #### > -Windows Vista > -Tomcat 6.0.14 (latest) > > > #### Problem #### > I want the following directory to be the ROOT context: > $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myroot > > So that http://localhost/test.txt is directly mapped to > $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myroot/test.txt > > And I do not want any other directory than myroot to exist in > $CATALINA_HOME/webapps > > > #### What I have tried #### > Modifing the host-tag in server.xml to: > > <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" > <Context docBase="myroot" path=""></Context> > </Host> > > , solves the problem.
