Creating virtual directory in Tomcat - HTTP Status 404 ...
hello everyone,
i am a novice in this field. I was trying to create a virtual directory
(alias directory) in Tomcat in Solaris box. Following is what i did.
1. stopped tomcat
2. located the "server.xml" file under <INSTALL DIR>/tomcat/conf
2. edited it to add
<Context path="/test"
docBase="/dirtest/prod_scrpts"
debug="1"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
3. added the above between the host tags such that
<Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy.......>
... ... ... ...
<Context path="/test"
docBase="/dirtest/prod_scrpts"
debug="1"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
</Host>
4. started tomcat
Now when i try to access the newly create virtual directory by going to the
URL "http://<servername>:8080/test" i get the error:
HTTP Status 404 - /test/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report
message /test/
description The requested resource (/test/) is not available.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache Tomcat/5.0.27
Any suggestions and recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
uddav

What is in the directory /dirtest/prod_scrpts? If it doesn't have a
file named index.jsp, index.html or index.htm (defaults set in
conf/web.xml) then it will give a 404. Try a very small "hello world"
html page for one of those files. The default is to disable file
listings for directories which is where the 404 is coming from.

Unless you have a welcome file (e.g., index.html) in /dirtest/prod_scrpts, that's exactly the error you should get. If you want Tomcat to display directory listings when no welcome files are present, you'll have to enable that for the DefaultServlet in conf/web.xml (or the webapp's WEB-INF/web.xml file).
> Apache Tomcat/5.0.27
Note that 5.0 is no longer supported.
