Web application works when put in webapps\examples directory, otherwise gives HTTP Status 404 error

[mani manisha]

Hi All,

For my web application- If i put it in the '\examples' directory (...\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\examples\MyWebAppln) it works fine for 'http://localhost:8080/examples/MyWebAppln/index.html'

But if I put it in webapps directory (...\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\MyWebAppln ) it gives a HTTP Status 404 error for 'http://localhost:8080/MyWebAppln/index.html'

Please help

Thanks in advance...

don't you have to update your web.xml file to reflect to move?

never mind It's not necessary.

You have to put your own web applications in their own directories as you have done in this case. What are the contents of your application (files/directory structure etc...)?

And welcome to the Ranch, Lee Kolb!
