You need to add the following lines to $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat.conf file to mount the web application: ApJServMount /mytests /root AllowOverride None deny from all AllowOverride None deny from all This will mount the mytests web application and Apache will forward all requests of a type: http://www.wearebig.com/mytests/something to Tomcat. Moreover, while latest version of Tomcat does it automatically, we explicitly deny access to any URLs like http://www.wearebig.com/mytests/WEB-INF/something. Moreover, since we actually mounted the web application with a different name (mytests than its top directory (jkltests), and since the application top directory is located within the Web Server Document Tree (Document Root for Apache is here /home/www)
