How to set my apache project as default program to launch

Greetings,

How could I make this happen, to convert localhost:8080/MyProject/ to localhost/ ? I'm using XAMPP Tomcat 6.0 as my server.

I have tried renaming my MyProject as ROOT both on the Cat开发者_StackOverflow中文版alina and webapps directory, but no use, the server crashed and never would run again.

Thanks, Cyril H.

What you really want is to install Apache HTTP server and configure it running as reverse proxy with mod_proxy like

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://foo.example.com:8080/myapplication
ProxyPassReverse / http://foo.example.com:8080/myapplication 

The configuration should transform for instance request to /myservlet to :8080/myapplication/myservlet . Please notice that putting stuff at the exact root is not always a good idea, because after that you can not use it for other needs (without more advanced configuration, probably involving mod_rewrite).
