Sacha, I think you missed to put "index.jsp" or "index.htm" in your context folder which are the welcome-file section in your web.xml file you just copied. try to put a basic jsp file named "index.jsp" , as a start I would suggest: ------------------------------------------------------------------ <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252" %> <html> <body> <h1>Welcome to Tomcat..rather than Hello world!</h1> <p>Today is <%=new java.util.Date() %></p> </body> </html> ----------------------------------------------------------------- good luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 10:10 PM Subject: Re: Installation problem
