I've been trying for so long to get directory listing in Tomcat 5.5 to work for my website and I still can't get it to work. Magically, at one point it worked somewhat for directories with jpgs, css, js, etc files, but not directories with video files such as mkv, avi, etc.
I've followed numerous sites instructing how to edit the web.xml in order to get directory listings to work and still nothing works. I'm developing in Eclipse, and running my web application, call it MyWebsite for simplicity, on a Tomcat 5.5 server. Here's one site I tried following to edit the web.xml: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Miscellaneous#Q12 So I start up the server and run my website/webapp on it via: http://localhost:8080/MyWebsite This works just fine, but whenever I do: http://localhost:8080/MyWebsite/images This doesn't work, and yes there is an images directory in my web root which in eclipse is MyWebsite/WebContent. So the images directory is in MyWebsite/WebContent/images. This has become beyond frustrating and I really need some help with this please. I've also tried following the instructions at these sites: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/default-servlet.html http://linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/c581.html http://wso2.org/blog/sumedha/1096 http://www.karakas-online.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9784 They're all relatively the same but nothing I do works! Please help!! Thanks, -Brad
