Do you have any suggestions on this? > thanks a lot again If IIS is 'in front' of Tomcat, then you'll configure the domain part there. Tomcat with default config will serve applications from: path/to/tomcat/webapps the default application is given the special name ROOT (capitals matter), so if you want to serve a website, you'd put it in: path/to/tomcat/webapps/ROOT It's completely safe to remove all of the contents of 'webapps' and start over. Alternatively, specify a different path in the 'appBase' parameter of the default Host definition: <Host ... appBase="C:\sites\myapps" and then place a ROOT directory in there. The docs site has plenty of information in the Configuration section. p > --- On *Tue, 6/15/10, Pid /<p...@pidster.com>/* wrote: > > > From: Pid <p...@pidster.com> > Subject: Re: adding servlet to existing website through iis7 and tomcat6 > To: j...@rogers.com > Date: Tuesday, June 15, 2010, 3:39 PM > > On 15/06/2010 18:58, j...@rogers.com > </mc/compose?to=j...@rogers.com> wrote: > > hi > > sorry, yeah that was the apache tomcat connector page i was using, > and i > > am using iis7 > > test.html file is in tomcat\conf, it is where the redirector dll > is and > > it is where i have pointed my virtual directory. > > It sounds like you've got IIS to publish Tomcat's conf directory. > > If it works then you're publishing all of the config files too.
