I can see Alfresco, BUT not Tomcat?

I have installed alfresco 3.1 on Windows. I can reach http://localhost:8080/alfresco and see the alfresco home page. However, when I go to http://localhost:8080/, a blank page is rendered when I was expecting the Tomcat home page. Why is the tomcat homepage not appearing? How can I get the tomca

I think this has to do with the share integration. When I redirect / to /alfresco, I get problems with the share urls.

The old Sharepoint integration used to use a ROOT.war, which would prevent you from seeing the Tomcat homepage. However, this is no longer required, so you can remove any ROOT.war you might have previously installed from Alfresco.

Okay…What I did is download an tomcat separately and copy Tomcat's C:\tomcat\webapps\ROOT folder into Alfresco's C:\alfresco\tomcat\webapps directory. Then I was able to get my Tomcat manager application from http://localhost:8080/.
