HTTP 404 not found

[Karuna Kethineedi]

Hi All,

I am running my application on WAS 5.1.2.
I dont get any errors when I start my server
but when I type in the URL of the application http://localhost:9080/dboWebApp
it gives a page not found error.
for that matter even if i type http://localhost:9080/ i get a page not found.

can someone help pls...

thanks
Karuna.

ASSUMPTION: you are trying to connect to a WAR app.

I suspect that, assuming there are no errors on your servers output log, this may be down to the contaxt name you have given your application.

Consider the following

[30/05/06 15:00:50:997 BST] 3e3aa26c ApplicationMg A WSVR0200I: Starting application: [B]MONKEE[/B]
[30/05/06 15:00:51:262 BST] 3e3aa26c EJBContainerI I WSVR0207I: Preparing to start EJB jar: EJBServices.jar

[30/05/06 15:00:52:528 BST] 3e3aa26c WebGroup      I SRVE0180I: [B][Struts Blank Application] [I][/strut][/I][/B] [Servlet.LOG]: JSP 1.2 Processor: init
[30/05/06 15:00:53:106 BST] 3e3aa26c WebGroup      I SRVE0180I: [Struts Blank Application] [/strut] [Servlet.LOG]: SimpleFileServlet: init
[30/05/06 15:00:53:122 BST] 3e3aa26c WebGroup      I SRVE0180I: [Struts Blank Application] [/strut] [Servlet.LOG]: InvokerServlet: init
[30/05/06 15:00:53:231 BST] 3e3aa26c WebGroup      I SRVE0180I: [Struts Blank Application] [/strut] [Servlet.LOG]: action: init

I have an application called MONKEE, and inside it there is a WAR called, imaginatively, 'Struts Blank Application', which has a context-name of 'strut' (ok, it's a bad name, but I was learning, ok!). So, to reach this I would use as my URL

<a href="http://localhost:9080/strut" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:9080/strut</a>  ie using the context-name

I'm amking the assumption that your context-root is not called 'dboWebApp' here!

Look at your servers output and try swapping my context-root as highlighted above with the one you deployed.

hope this helps
