I also noticed that entering "http://mycomputer/ROOT/index.html" goes to the
default tomcat start page, but it still seems like I should be able to enter
"http://mycomputer" and get the start page (instead of the webapps directory
listing).
The location I'm trying to store my apps is "c:/tomcatApps" (with "bin",
"conf", "logs", "webapps", and "work" subdirs). I changed the Apache
DocumentRoot and "<Directory>" to point to "c:/tomcatApps". I also changed the
"DirectoryIndex" to allow both "index.html" and "index.jsp".
I still don't understand why I need to enter "http://mycomputer:8080" to get to
the default start page, as opposed to "http://mycomputer".
I'd appreciate any help or information.
