[Geoserver-users] [SPAM] Geoserver/Tomcat

I apologize for asking this question here, which I believe is more Tomcat than Geoserver, but I am sure that you guys are able to help. Please go easy on me.

Tomcat can serve the index.html file located in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\geoserver, but it cannot serve any other file (see log below). I know there are a list of welcome files in web.xml such as

welcome-file-list>

index.html

.

Even including for example the index_backup.html in the welcome-file-list it returns 404.

I’ve checked the permissions of the geoserver folder and the files inside it. They seems to be okay.

Thank you.

JJ.

I have vague memories, but as far as I remember we have security checks to
disallow access
to the data directory embedded in the war file (the default one).

If you want to publish static files you should be able to put them in the
www subfolder of
your data directory, and they will show up at http://host:port
/geoserver/www/yourfile.html
