mount point to root url - problem

[masionas]

hi,

I am having problem to get mount point to "/" working properly. the app defined as follows:

  <webapp name="webclone"
        title="My WebSite"
        server="default-server"
        location="webapp/webclone"
        mount-point="/"
        app-bar-display="false"/>

when I go to http://localhost:8080/ I get 404 from Tomcat.  I have looked in ContextFilter.java and "/" is added to allowed paths.

Where should I look further? Thank you in advance.

Ok, I've sorted out. Need to put index,jsp with forward.

You are probably better off using apache, which uses port 80, to do
the redirect.  You could force tomcat to bind to port 80, but it isn't
considered good practice.  If you use apache, then you can offload
things like serving images, and let tomcat (java) worry about ofbiz
stuff.
