The easiest possible thing is to put an element in server.xml file in /conf directory. So, put your application inside Host element in server.xml file by using a Context element. this will be as follows... . . . Host .. Context path= docBase=/testApp /Context /Host this will make your testApp as ROOT application and you can access by http://localhost:8080. hope this help... --pulak -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/changing-default-ROOT-webapp-in-Tomcat-6.0.18-tp22133382p25889772.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Re: changing default ROOT webapp in Tomcat 6.0.18
Hi, I have been watching this thread since I am interested in how to do this. I have a small web site using just html images css so I do not use a WAR for deployment just replace/add/delete the files. So would modifying the server.xml be the recommended method?

So if I create a directory named ROOT on say a network drive (or even a logical drive on the same server as Tomcat) Tomcat will find it without any modification to any config files? -Tony --- On Wed, 10/14/09, Caldarale, Charles R chuck.caldar...@unisys.com wrote: From: Caldarale, Charles R chuck.caldar...@unisys.com Subject: RE: changing default ROOT webapp in Tomcat 6.0.18 To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 12:45 PM From: Tony Anecito [mailto:adanec...@yahoo.com] Subject: Re: changing default ROOT webapp in Tomcat 6.0.18 So would modifying the server.xml be the recommended method?

Perfect. I was just specifying another location because some users/companies may have a standard for site files location that does not match out of the box settings for Tomcat.
