Hi Mark, I tried that way as well but i get the same issue. Tomcat does not even deploy my war. All it says on console is ' Server startup in xxx ms" and stays there forever.
Im getting confused and wondering if there is any mistake in the Tomcat documentation. Please suggest. thanks G ________________________________ From: Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 1:19 AM Subject: Re: Cannot make war file as default app On 12/08/2011 09:04, exquisite wrote: > Hello, > > I followed the below steps from Tomcat Wiki for making my war file as the > default webapp, but tomcat is not deploying my war: > > How do I make my web application be the Tomcat default application? > > Method 2.2 > If you really know what you are doing..
