I may not be able to help but I am certainly going to try!! .. Starting to feel like all I do is take in this list ;)
Are you speaking of the index.jsp page? The page that says If you are seeing this page then you have installed Tomcat correctly? If I understand what I've been learning myself, there is a directive in the server.xml file that defines the Tomcat Server Root Context and defines the docbase as "ROOT" telling Tomcat where the default directory is located (within the webapps directory of course). Now I suggest getting verification from other people on this list first, but I imagine you can change this? Perhaps create a new folder on the same level as the current ROOT folder, and make that folder the doc base? - Seems logical enough, but then again I am no pro Being a newbie myself, the way I try it first (avoiding the risk of messing anything up by changing the docbase), is to rename that index.jsp file to something like index_admin.jsp. Then upload the file I want as my default webapp as index.jsp. If I ever wanted to pull up that Tomcat page with the links to the Manager and Admin, etc - I would just type in www.mydomain.com/index_admin.jsp . Hope that helps!!

I'm new to Tomcat and was wondering how to accomplish this task... When Tomcat is installed there is a ROOT webapp that has various links to Tomcat Manager, Admin, etc. I don't want to loose that webapp, but I would like to have a different webapp as the ROOT so that when a user goes to http://yada.yada/ my app will display instead. I've looked at the default config files, but I'm just not seeing how to do it.
