I am using both: DirectoryIndex /jsp/index.jsp index.html
and DirectoryIndex /jsp/index.jsp and both work fine. There is no longer an index.html file either so that one only goes to index.jsp. I am using Apache 1.3.24. An alternative I would suggest is to remove the DirectoryIndex setting from Apache and let Tomcat handle this by putting <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>jsp/index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> into the web.xml of the application in question. In fact I now realise that I have both of the above implemented for the app. I'm looking at at the moment. Hope that helps, Andoni. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Turner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 2:16 PM Subject: Re: Tomcat with Virtual hosting > > That's a known problem with the Apache connectors.
