Deploying just HTML, CSS webpage to Tomcat

Question

I am just getting started on developing a website. All I have at the moment is a HTML page supported by a couple of CSS stylesheets

Answer 1

Here's my step in Ubuntu 16.04 and Tomcat 8.

1. Copy folder /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT to your folder.

   cp -r /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/{yourfolder}

2. Add your html, css, js, to your folder.

3. Open "http://localhost:8080/{yourfolder}" in browser

Notes:

1. If you using chrome web browser and did wrong folder before, then clean web browser's cache(or change another name) otherwise (sometimes) it always 404.

2. The folder META-INF with context.xml is needed.
