Why do I get a “HTTP/1.x 400 No Host matches server name” error when I change the “webapps” folder in Tomcat on Vista?
By default, the Tomcat Windows Service installer attempts to place Tomcat inside the “Program Files” folder. Default Vista folder permissions conflict with the contents of the “webapps” folder, can case a blank page to come up when attempting to access the webapp. By using a HTTP Header inspector like “Live HTTP Headers” you can see a slightly more descriptive error message. It is best to change Tomcat’s install folder to something like “C:\Tomcat”. This issue can be hard to spot because by default the example webapps work just fine.
