Thanks a lot for such a fast answer but actually I'm a newbie and really
don't know how to do what you proposed.

How can I find out if I have an Apache HTTPD server??? Or if it listens =
to
port 80???

The folders under my Tomcat goes like this (very simlilar to the one in
SUSE):

+ Tomcat
	+ bin
	+ common
	+ conf
		=B7 web.xml
		=B7 server.xml
	+ logs
	+ server=20
	+ shared
	+ webapps
		+ myapp
			=B7 index.htm (here is another redirect to the login
page)
		+ ROOT
			=B7 index.htm (this one has the redirect I mentioned
in the first mail)
	+ work

This is all local, and I don't think I have anything else installed.

Do I require more software in order to solve this problem???

Thanks again,
	Federico.

Just use the same trick you already do. This time, instead of putting =
your
index.html at ROOT, put it under the root folder of an apache httpd =
server
for that host. This assumes you run an apache httpd server on that =
server
and it listens to port 80.
