Re: set default web application

[Parsons Technical Services]

I think I have found the answer. In 5.5 any path elements are ignored and 
the filename/docBase is used instead, UNLESS you specify it in a context 
element placed in the server.xml. So to set the default app for Tomcat you 
will need to do it this way.
As I said I think.

So try adding a context element to your server.xml and restart Tomcat.

Thanks for your reply.
I turned on the debug and didn't see any error
log. I still get blank screen when I request
http://localhost:8081 (I change the port to be
8081),
the following is the log that when request the
default http://localhost:8081:
DEBUG http-8081-Processor24
org.apache.commons.modeler.BaseModelMBean -
preRegister [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Catalina:type=RequestProcessor,worker=http-8081,name=HttpRequest1
 DEBUG http-8081-Processor24
org.apache.catalina.connector.MapperListener -

 DEBUG http-8081-Processor24
org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool - Getting
new thread data
However, both http://localhost:8081/ROOT1 and
http://localhost:8081/struts-mailreader works
perfectly. I checked the applications using manager,
there are /ROOT1, /struts-mailreader, there is no
application "/".
I think there should be a step by step faq to do
this common task.
Thanks again.
Turn up debugging and check your logs. It should
report on startup what is processed. Look for
errors.

Move the ROOT folder out of the webapps folder.

After step 3 would step 1 still work?
