By default the Tomcat renders the default home page which is specified in the conf/web.xml such as index.html which is located under the /Tomcat5.0/webapps/ROOT folder. You need to redirect the URL from index.html to your default home page. So, Please modify the index.html file one located under /Tomcat5.0/webapps/ROOT with the following content
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Re-direct</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/vruksha"> </head> <body> </body> </html> You can also mention the default home page URL in the /Tomcat5.0/conf/web.xml in <welcome-file-list> element as below <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> Hope this will solve your problem.

I am on windows xp running tomcat as my webserver/jsp engine 5.5.09 I have http://savithari.dyndns.org/vruksha that works correctly. but http://savithari.dyndns.org always brings up the default page of tomcat. I know that I can rename the ROOT folder to be able accomplish a direct hit to http://savithari.dyndns.org to bring up the page I want. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANT. I want to be able to keep my webpage contents under M:\VRUKSHA which contains the entire webpage. I still want the configurate of tomcat to point the ROOT to this folder M:\VRUKSHA so that I can update the correct folder. Is this too much to ask ? If not that atleast tell me an alternate way to much with the ROOT so that RENAMING MY APPLICATION TO ROOT is not the only solution. Thank your for your time and help. -Narahari --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
