After you install the server, you can modify the context
root, if your server configuration requires it.
Procedure
- Stop the server.
- From the server installation directory, rename the directory server_install/opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT to
a new name, such as server_install/opt/tomcat/webapps/deploy Use the server installation directory for server_install. The default server installation
directory is /opt/ibm-ucd/server on Linux and C:\Program Files\ibm-ucd\server on Windows.
- Make a backup copy of the file opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml.
- Open the file opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml in
a text editor
- In the server.xml file, find the following
line of code:
<Context path=""
docBase="ROOT"
debug="0"
reloadable="false"
useHttpOnly="true"
sessionCookieName="JSESSIONID_8080">
- In this code, change both the docBase attribute
and the path attribute to the name of the new
folder. For example, if you renamed the ROOT folder
to deploy, the code looks like the following
example:
<Context path="deploy"
docBase="deploy"
debug="0"
reloadable="false"
useHttpOnly="true"
sessionCookieName="JSESSIONID_8080">
- Save the file.
- Restart the server.
Results
Now you can access the server at the following URL:
https://hostname:port/foldername
Use
the new name of the folder as
foldername.
