Hello again, Qiao thank you for your help. I tried copying the WEB-INF(which includes web.xml) to mms_test but the problem is still there( blank page). I tried copying the mms_test somewhere else like to ROOT, but the problem still remains. Just to let you know I can successfull view the page http://localhost:8080/ but get a blank page when try to access the http://localhost:8080/mms_test/
However I haven't changed anything in the /usr/local/tomcat/conf/server.xml do i need to change something there? Any help is highly appreciated! Thank you again for your time! zia On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 3:59 PM, Qiao Jin <bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am new to Tomcat as well...
