Thanks a lot for such a fast answer but actually I'm a newbie and really don't know how to do what you proposed.
How can I find out if I have an Apache HTTPD server??? Or if it listens to port 80??? The folders under my Tomcat goes like this (very simlilar to the one in SUSE): + Tomcat + bin + common + conf · web.xml · server.xml + logs + server + shared + webapps + myapp · index.htm (here is another redirect to the login page) + ROOT · index.htm (this one has the redirect I mentioned in the first mail) + work This is all local, and I don't think I have anything else installed. Do I require more software in order to solve this problem???

This time, instead of putting your index.html at ROOT, put it under the root folder of an apache httpd server for that host. This assumes you run an apache httpd server on that server and it listens to port 80.
