Hi
I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. When I navigate to the
http://mysite.com/me/public_html/tomcat folder I see the default page, indicating that I have installed the server somewhat correctly and it works.
However, when I hover over the links on the page I notice that they are directed to
http://mysite.com/docs/setup.html,
http://mysite.com/manager/html and so on. Obviously there
is no "docs" or "manager" folder on the
root of the
web server, so this results in a 404 Not Found error. It
does work locally, but that is not enough.
Similarly, if i try to navigate to
http://mysite.com/me/public_html/tomcat/ROOT I get a Resource not found error from
Tomcat even though the ROOT application is exactly the same application that works at public_html/tomcat/! So I cannot even begin to produce my own web apps because
no subdirectory under the
webapps dir can be accessed over WWW (I also tried making a simple Hello World
servlet of my own under webapps/hello/ but it didn't work).
I am completely stuck. I have tried editing the server.xml, context.xml, web.xml and .htaccess files with all possible variations of the pathname syntax. I have researched this on the net and tried everything that I could think of for probably 2 full days work in total. I would never have thought that getting Tomcat up and running would be so painstakingly difficult.
Any advice? Thanks.
