When i try changing the default page in tomcat to a different index.html under my applications directory (by modifying the server.xml file), my browser throws up a blank page with the error message as "permission denied". However, it accepts redirection to the any different html file.
Could you please direct me as to what could be the reason for the permission denied error when trying to set my applications index.html as the default page
if you try changing the web.xml file , (welcome-file-list) index.html for other file ( html, jsp , ... ) i think it is correct. The web.xml file is independent for each application.
Error when changing the default page in Tomcat
