Hi,

        Well, what web.xml file you modified?

CATALINA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\

        1. %CATALINA_HOME%/conf/web.xml
        2. %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml

I have Tomcat 6 installed, i tried to do that, and works for me, You most comment web.xml in opction 1. and verify web.xml in option 2 for <welcome-file>.

I got 404 error when I put a URL like this on my browser: (8180 is my port for tomcat)

                http://localhost:8180/ROOT/
        but with
                http://localhost:8180

        loads my new Index.html.

VL.

After changing port to 80 attempting to use Tomcat as a HTTP server as well

a container.
When entering http:\\localhost I am getting the standard Tomcat display. However its being drawn from the index.jsp rather than the index.html due
the message on the page detailing
"$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp"

What I have attempted to do is place my own static html files in the
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\ROOT
directory.
Basically expecting my index.html to be displayed. However it only attempts
to display the index.jsp page.

I have tried commenting out the - <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome- file>
from the web.xml but this does not make any difference.
I want to use the ROOT directory and force the index.html to be used.
All i get is a Error 404 message.
Can anyone help me please?
