I'm trying to set up a web page as the root application that would not be accessible via
http://localhost:8080
I know that I previously set up something to redirect this root application to another file in another directory. But I don't remember what I did and can't find it ... seriously, I've been looking all over and searching through files etc. Can't find the redirect.
Anyway ... I copied a directory under webapps (it's more than just one html file) and renamed the directory ROOT. The old ROOT has been renamed ROOT_BAK and moved elsewhere (because
tomcat wanted to deploy it).
Tomcat has not deployed the new ROOT and will not accept /ROOT as the context path when I try to deploy it through the manager.
Whenever I try
http://localhost:8080, it still redirects to the other application (so it must be explicit somewhere).
What have I done?
Edit: More info
When in Tomcat manager, I can click on '/' in the deployed app list and it goes to the redirected application. Also; ... now must say this is the first time I've tried to set up an app. as the root app ... not really sure anymore whether it's supposed to be in the /ROOT directory?
Checked the logs:
