Newbie - unable to set default contexct
Folks,
I have the installed TC 4.1.24 on RedHat 7.2.
All went well - the Tomcat default page comes up fine.
I need to replace the default page with my own stuff however, so I
installed my app ("escapism") in the webapps dir and edited server.xml
thus:
<!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
<!--
<Context path="" docBase="escapism" debug="0"/>
-->
I restarted TC but the standard TC home page still is displayed when
accessing "http://localhost:8080/"
My understanding is that this should set the default Tomcat page to
webapps/escapism/index.jsp.
Is this correct? If not how do I do it?
TIA - Adam

How do you expect tomcat to read a <Context> entry that is commented
out? Also, you may need to remove the ROOT context directory. That
directory name is treated specially by Tomcat. If present, it serves as
the <Context path="" ...>. You might just want to put the contents of your
context in to the ROOT directory. It will make things easier and avoid
conflicts. You don't even need to define a <Context ...> entry if you do this.
