Default Tomcat Webapp

[linsys]

Is there a way to make alfresco the default webapp for Tomcat?

can I just setup some redirect from / to /alfresco?

Or is there a better way to make alfresco the default tomecat webapp?

Thanks this product rocks!

Hi,

You could copy the contents of the alfresco WAR to <TOMCAT_INSTALL>/webapps/ROOT and replace what's already there (the Tomcat default page).

This will make Alfresco your default webapp on Tomcat.

One way to do it is:

- move <TOMCAT_INSTALL>/webapps/ROOT to <TOMCAT_INSTALL>/webapps/ROOTorig
- copy alfresco.war to <TOMCAT_INSTALL>/webapps/ and rename it to ROOT.war

Hope this helps,

For all newbie's, like me, make sure to keep the case sensitivity so it is ROOT.war and not root.war otherwise you would still have to go http://yourserver/root instead of http://yourserver

Just a little bit of info I thought I would pass on.

You can modified or create a new file "index.jsp" file in ROOT to redirect to your desire URL

Example, Tomcat:  Tomcat\webapps\ROOT\index.jsp

1. rename the old index.jsp to index.jsp.old
3. create a new index.jsp with the following line:

<%
response.sendRedirect("http://localhost/alfresco/index.jsp");
%>‍‍‍

or

<%
response.sendRedirect("http://mydomain.com/alfresco/index.jsp");
%>‍‍‍
