Question

I have a Tomcat6 server on a Linux server. The structure of the webapps directory is:

• examples
• host-manager
• manager
• ROOT
• sample

I have a web application running on my localhost on a Tomcat. I created a war file MyProject.war and put it into the webapps directory. Restarting the Tomcat server, the war is extracted and I have this structure:

• examples
• host-manager
• manager
• MyProject
• ROOT
• sample

Calling the URL http://mysubdomain.mysite.com:8080/ I get the Tomcat start page with

If you’re seeing this page with a web browser, it means you’ve setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!.

Calling http://mysubdomain.mysite.com:8080/MyProject/ I get the page of my project.

What I want, is that I can access my project with the URL http://mysubdomain.mysite.com:8080/ and not with http://mysubdomain.mysite.com:8080/MyProject/

How can I do this?

Best Regards.

Update
I have this in my server.xml:

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
    <Context docBase="MyProject" path="/" />
</Host>

I did it on path with an empty string and / and restart Tomcat. Both does not work. The main directory shows me the Tomcat start page instead of my project. The project is only reachable with …:8080/MyProject/

Answer 1

Delete ROOT folder, rename MyProject.war to ROOT.war and restart.

You can also do it by adding the following line to inside the <Host> entry of /conf/server.xml

<Context docBase="MyProject" path="" />
