I installed xwiki via devian-package. All is working, but I want to configure
xwiki as root webapp. I am not a specialist in this (configuring tomcat) ...
How I can do this especially in situation, when was used debian package
(with not standart path-s). For example, xwiki app didn't placed in
tomcat/webapps ...
I founded file \etc\xwiki\xwiki-tomcat.xml with this content:
<Context path="/xwiki" docBase="/usr/lib/xwiki"
debug="0" privileged="true" allowLinking="true"
crossContext="true">
<Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true" />
</Context>
I tried to change path="/xwiki" with path="/" or
path="/ROOT" - but no any
changes in a realty (of course after restarting tomcat) - xwiki opened with
path localhost://8080/xwiki ...
Maybe need another modifications?

I found solution for me. Sorry for stupid questions, but it is new expirience
for me.
Answer:
- open folder /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost. In this folder exists 2
files: ROOT.xml & xwiki.xml.
- delete ROOT.xml
- rename xwiki.xml to ROOT.xml
- edit ROOT.xml after renaming, change ..path="/xwiki".. to
..path="/"..
- save ROOT.xml
- restart tomcat
Maybe it will helpful for somebody else.

New subject: [xwiki-users] xwiki as root webapp for an xwiki debian package
Eugen,
I am only responding to you so that the subject is changed to include "debian
package".
I think this is highly specific to the Debian package distribution (as you hinted in your
first post, I interpreted devian as debian and hope it is ok).
The other strategy you considered, modifying server.xml, is also what I would have done
first...

It would be a nice addition to

Hi!
I had the same "problem" with non-debian configuration. I wanted also to set up
XWiki as root.
As Tomcat is not exactly web server, there are some solutions:
1. The way you described.
As far as I understood you have now "wikiless" path - without /xwiki part.
I raised this problem some time ago and Sergiu Dumitriu answered me following:

1. Is it crucial for XWiki and/or some XWiki
applications to eat shorten URL on Tomcat's level?
Will it affect, for example, on virtual wiki mapping for URLs based addresses like
http://myfarm.net/xwiki/wiki/wikiname/?
XWiki should work just fine with the shorter URLs. The "xwikiless"
information might be very outdated, when it used to be true that some
parts of XWiki would fail.
I didn't get exact consequences of "very outdated" , thus solved it other
way.
2. Set up Glassfish (or any other) - it can manage ROOT fine itself.
3. "Cover" Tomcat with an web server. I found nginx as best solution for me.
Finally I set up Tocat + nginx, that makes it very flexible and fast. If you need - write
me in private, I'd share a nginx configuration to solve a problem: mydomain.com ->
nginx -> localhost:8080/xwiki. So, endusers use only mydomain.com paths.
The same is possible with any web-server actually.
Kind regards,
Dmitry

For i2geo, I solve this using Apache mod_rewrite: only some paths, those candidate to be
often exchanged, are rewritten and proxied accordingly, all others remain to /xwiki.
-- given a path that should be shortened, make a rewrite rule that redirects to the
shorter variant
-- given a path that is shortened, proxy the right variant
-- per default proxy everything /xwiki
The bigger problem with this intent is that you have the URLs output to /xwiki. Maybe a
stock xwiki can correct all of them, but I've seen a lot of hard coding there (and I
practice it every day, e.g. for css or javascript).
