Why is "ROOT" appended?
Hi, I installed Tomcat 5.5.20 on Fedora Core 5 Linux. In my
"server.xml" file, I have the default appbase as "webapps"
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
but when i request a loose page, it gets the file from "webapps/ROOT".
How do I change the configuration such that it gets the page from
"webapps"?
Thanks, - Dave

Actually the problem was I still had "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs" as my
"appBase" directive in my server.xml file. When I changed that back
to "webapps", things worked.
Thanks for your taking the time to explain these things. - Dave

That looks o.k. to me. Could there be a permissions problem - Tomcat
unable to access /usr/local/apache2/htdocs?

Thanks. I did as you instructed creating in
"$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost" the file ROOT.xml
<Context docBase="/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">
</Context>
and I deleted the webapps/ROOT directory. I restarted and now i get a
404 when I make my request ...
[root@localhost ~]# wget http://localhost:8080/test.jsp
--11:21:19-- http://localhost:8080/test.jsp
=> `test.jsp'
Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:8080... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 /test.jsp
11:21:19 ERROR 404: /test.jsp.
Is the ROOT.xml file correct?

Thanks but this fails. Here's what I changed the appBase dir to
<Host name="localhost" appBase="/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
and here is what happened when I restarted and tried to request a page
that I just created (with 775 perms)
[root@localhost bin]# wget http://localhost:8080/test.jsp
--10:49:24-- http://localhost:8080/test.jsp
=> `test.jsp'
Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:8080... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 400 No Host matches server
name localhost
10:49:24 ERROR 400: No Host matches server name localhost.
Do I have to create a "ROOT" directory within "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"?

take a look at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html
you can use the "appBase" attribute

They don't have to be in a .war, but they do have to part of some
webapp. The easiest thing to do is put them under webapps/ROOT. If you
don't want them there, delete the webapps/ROOT directory, and create a
ROOT.xml file in conf/[engine]/[host] containing a docBase attribute
that points to the location of your JSPs.

Ok, let me ask another question. If I want to change the directory to
where I put JSP files that I don't want to package into a WAR, to say,
"/usr/local/apache2/htdocs", how do I do that?

You can't, and you should not be putting random files under webapps.
All pages must belong to some webapp or another (there's no such thing
as a "loose page"), and those apps are by default under webapps.
