I had deployed one application on tomcat 6 on port 80. My application folder

  • 0

I had deployed one application on tomcat 6 on port 80. My application folder name was myApp1 and it is under webapps folder. I can access it with http://localhost/myApp1 I have under web application folder named as myApp2. Also I simply put the myApp2 folder under webapps folder.

But when I try to acces the application 2 with URL http://localhost/myApp2. I get error HTTP 404 saying requested resource myApp2 was nor found. Do i have to make some changes in configuration files also i.e. server.xml? Just for the formation both application are placed as folders not as war file

EDIT To give more info I can see only one entry for myApp1 inside server.xml

 <Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="true" deployXML="true"     name="localhost" unpackWARs="true" xmlNamespaceAware="false" xmlValidation="false">
  <Context docBase="E:\workspace_4.3\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\ROOT" path="" reloadable="false"/>  
<Context docBase="E:\workspace_fip_4.3\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\myApp2" path="/fipWebApp" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:myApp2"/> 
  </Host>

    That’s the way to do it: You put a WAR file under the Tomcat /webapps file and refer to it in a context that’s the same as the WAR file name.

    Look at the Tomcat logs. You might have gotten a 404 because it didn’t deploy properly.

    You don’t have to edit server.xml; you should never have to do that.

    I’d recommend not creating a folder and dumping files into it. Better to package a proper WAR file and deploy that.

    UPDATE: Read this carefully and follow each and every step to the letter:
