Why? By default, Tomcat will listen on all IP addresses assigned to the box it's running on. > Our host directory is "localhost" and we have a site called webtop. Your terminology is ambiguous. What do you mean by "our host directory is localhost"? What do you mean by "site" (webapp, perhaps)? > I have create an alias on our DNS (IIS) server http://webtop. The http:// must not be part of the DNS entry. Another ambiguity: IIS is a web server, not a DNS server; what did you really do? Be specific. Is IIS front-ending Tomcat? > I want a user to enter this url and have it open > http://localhost:8080/webtop. Do you have IIS listening on port 80? If you want IIS to forward specific requests to Tomcat, have you read the relevant doc? http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/iis.html > I've tried a number of settings in the server.xml file but > nothing has worked yet. Not surprising, because nothing should have to be changed in Tomcat, unless you need to enable the AJP connector. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
