Since I don't understand a bit of this reply, I'll interpret it as "please go read the manual"... > > I want http://localhost/myapp/ and http://localhost:666/ to > mean the > > same, so just moving the webapps root a level deeper seems > the logical > > thing to do. > > That would be logical if the file system mapped directly to > the web URL space but it doesn't. Probably the word "apache" has lead me into believing that tomcat would behave like other webservers: Just point it to some root location and then it will follow the filesystem. ... > If you follow that route yes. Another option would be to put > the webapp somewhere outside of any host's appBase and then > you can use context.xml files under CATALINA_BASE/<engine > name>/<host name> to add the webapp to as many hosts as you like. Needless to say, I again have no idea what you're talking about... back to reading the documentation again... Mike.
