No, htdocs is not used by Tomcat. It's for the Apache web server (a.k.a. httpd or apache.exe). For Tomcat, put files in one of the directories under webapps (webapps/ROOT is the catch-all for files that aren't part of a specific web application).
But this has nothing to do with whether or not localhost is defined - that sounds like a client-side problem (i.e. it's the web browser, not the server, that can't resolve localhost). Try accessing http://127.0.0.1/ and also check that localhost is defined in your hosts file. -- Len On Dec 17, 2007 5:26 AM, Richard Dunne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Regarding the various releases of tomcat, in order to dislpay files on > localhost, it was my understanding that all files needed to be hosted in the > htdocs directory.
