If you're running tomcat directly on port 80, you add a virtual host in tomcat's server.xml file. Just search the net for instructions on that. If you're using apache httpd as a frontend it's a matter of configuring a redirectmatch in your virtual host configuration. You don't need to change the name of the folder where the roller webapp is, in either of the above cases. Tomcat or apache httpd will fix that for you. cheers -- Fredrik Jonson
