how to do directory listing in tomcat 5.5
I've been trying for so long to get directory listing in Tomcat 5.5 to work
for my website and I still can't get it to work. Magically, at one point it
worked somewhat for directories with jpgs, css, js, etc files, but not
directories with video files such as mkv, avi, etc.
I've followed numerous sites instructing how to edit the web.xml in order to
get directory listings to work and still nothing works.
I'm developing in Eclipse, and running my web application, call it MyWebsite
for simplicity, on a Tomcat 5.5 server.
Here's one site I tried following to edit the web.xml:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Miscellaneous#Q12
So I start up the server and run my website/webapp on it via:
http://localhost:8080/MyWebsite
This works just fine, but whenever I do:
http://localhost:8080/MyWebsite/images
This doesn't work, and yes there is an images directory in my web root which
in eclipse is MyWebsite/WebContent. So the images directory is in
MyWebsite/WebContent/images. This has become beyond frustrating and I really
need some help with this please.
I've also tried following the instructions at these sites:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/default-servlet.html
http://linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/c581.html
http://wso2.org/blog/sumedha/1096
http://www.karakas-online.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9784
They're all relatively the same but nothing I do works! Please help!!
Thanks,
-Brad

What someone is supposed to do and what they actually did are often very different. No one on this list gets paid for the help provided, so scanning through lots of links looking at often incorrect interpretations in order to help solve someone else's problem is not exactly high on the priority list.
If you really want some help, answer the questions by posting the edited files.
Also note that Eclipse likes to use its own configuration for Tomcat, ignoring whatever changes you think you made. Try running Tomcat by itself, not under Eclipse.

I have stated what I tried, I provided links to numerous sites describing
what to do and as I stated, I tried them all. If you opened any of the links
you would see exactly what I mean by how I'm supposed to edit the web.xml

You did check Tomcat's permissions on those problematic
files/directories, didn't you?

Edit it how? You haven't actually stated what you've tried.

Wait, what? You have a path "/a/b" and you're trying to access that
resource as path "/b" and it doesn't work?
And this seems surprising?
