You should put the application in a directory underneath public_html, not in public_html. If you want it to be the default webapp, make that directory name ROOT (case sensitive, even on Windows).
> The directory structure of the application is
Move the files to:
C:\public_html\ROOT\index.html
C:\public_html\ROOT\WEB-INF\
C:\public_html\ROOT\WEB-INF\web.xml
C:\public_html\ROOT\META-INF
C:\public_html\ROOT\META-INF\context.xml

Correct; keep reading.

The above is mostly o.k.; appBase specifies the directory under which each webapp is deployed. However, I would make it "C:/public_html", just in case you're in a different drive letter when Tomcat is started.

This is bad. The docBase attribute must *never* be the same as appBase, and you should not be placing <Context> elements in server.xml these days. Just remove the entire <Context> element, since it's not needed.
What is in your webapp's META-INF/context.xml file? It should not have either the path or the docBase attributes set.

Posted by re...@yahoo.com.
Thanks to everyone. I will try out these suggestions tonight and write back if they do not work.

the file contents are as follows (note: no attributes in the Context element)
<Context>
<Realm ...></Realm>
<Resources .../></Resources>
</Context>
