Hi James, I've developed an application ("demoapp") which during development I accessed via the "/demoapp" context. I set up Apache to allow me to have apache serve static content and pass all JSP and servelet request to tomcat. I now need to deploy this application on the "server-root" of a production server so that when I access "http://www.prod-server.com/index.jsp" I am accessing the same file as when I access "http://www.dev-server.com/demoapp/index.jsp". From existing docs. and much trying I have been unable to do this so far. Could you or anyone else advise on the apache 1.3 config. and the accompanying tomcat 4.04 config that I need to setup in order to get this to work the way I have described. Many thanks in advance for any help. Mark.

You can either out it in the (default) ROOT directory, or better, change the root context entry (has a path of "") to point to the directory of your app -- see the second page of this article, and the online docs re: context.
