You need to read the doc for the <Engine>, <Host>, <Connector>, and <Context> (not <context> - these are all case sensitive) elements: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/index.html By default, Tomcat listens on all IP addresses on the machine, including 127.0.0.1. If you want to restrict it to just 127.0.0.1, the easiest thing to change is the address attribute of each <Connector>, rather than fiddling with the <Host> element. > But, suppose I want that myhost.localhost let me able to show > as main context (the "/" one) what I have into the webapps/myapp > folder. You're confusing hosts and applications. Each <Host> can have its own set of apps, and within each set there must be a default app. This is indicated by the name ROOT, either as the subdirectory in which the app is placed, ROOT.war, or ROOT.xml in the conf/[engine]/[host] directory. If your app is stored in the <Host>'s appBase structure, you do not need a separate .xml file for it in conf/[engine]/[host]; put the <Context> element in context.xml in META-INF inside the app's directory. > Well, now I have to put this .xml file into > CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/myhost.localhost. Yes, and "myhost.localhost" must be set as the defaultHost for the <Engine> tag. But it's simpler to just change the <Connector> elements and not the rest. > Do I need to modify server.xml too?
