I think an application runs on the root context / by default, if it's
configured this way in server.xml :
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps/projectname">
<Context path="" docBase="C:\dev\projects\projectname"
reloadable="true" />
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"/>
</Host>
</Engine>
server.xml is located at : ..\apache-tomcat-5.x\conf\
On Windows XP , you can try something similar in Unix.

Subject: How does one configure Plain host domain url to run web app?
(Tomcat 4.x)
I have the following url that runs an application (pseudo url for
discussion only)
http://www.mydomain.com/mysite/thecontext
works fine..
I would like to configure it so that..
http://www.mydomain.com
gets me to the same place..
I can place a "redirect" html page at
http://www.mydomain.com/mysite/index.html
which redirects to
http://www.mydomain.com/mysite/thecontext
but have yet to get a plain
http://www.mydomain.com
to work.. I keep getting either the "No Context configured....." error
or the dreaded index of the directory..
I've tried Aliaes, Document root, Directory, and various JkMount
settings in the Virtual host conf file that seemed like it might work,
but so far, no joy.. (Tried Googling it, but have not come up with the
right key words..)
Some of the things I have tried in the conf file..
==========================
Alias /mysite "usr/tomcat/webapps/mysite"
Alias / "usr/tomcat/webapps/mysite"
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mysite/"
<Directory "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mysite">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.jsp
</Directory>
JkMount /mysite/thecontext ajp13
JkMount /mysite/*.jsp ajp13
..variations of..
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 -- gives me a dreaded index of the correct
directory
JkMount /*.html ajp13 -- same as above
JkMount /*. ajp13 -- blank document (strange)
JkMount /* ajp13 -- context error
=================================
Suggestions appreciated..
(all of my other machines are running Tomcat 5.. I will be moving this
app next month.. so a Tomcat 5 suggestion would be welcome as well)
John..
