6 By default, {{html}}<span class="xm-smallcaps">Xima® Formcycle</span>{{/html}} must be opened from the subdomain such as {{code language="none"}}/formcycle{{/code}}, for example {{code language="none"}}http://formcycle.eu/formcycle/{{/code}}. When it becomes necessary to open {{html}}<span class="xm-smallcaps">Xima® Formcycle</span>{{/html}} from the root domain, eg. {{code language="none"}}http://naiad.formcloud.de{{/code}}, the following Tomcat settings need to be changed.
7
8 == Using ROOT directory ==
9
10 In the {{code language="none"}}TOMCAT_VERZEICHNIS/webapps{{/code}} older under ROOT delete all files. Then create a new index.html with the following content:
11
12 {{code language="html"}}
13 <!DOCTYPE html>
14 <html>
15 <head>
16 <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=formcycle">
17 </head>
18 </html>
19 {{/code}}
20
21 == Using configuration file ==
22
23 === Creating a new configuration file ===
24
25 Go to the directory and create a new file named {{code language="none"}}ROOT.xml{{/code}} when it does not exist already.
26
27 === Move the file //formcycle.war// to the root domain ===
28
29 By default, the {{html}}<span class="xm-smallcaps">Xima® Formcycle</span>{{/html}} application file //formcycle.war// is located at {{code language="none"}}TOMCAT_DIRECTORY/webapps{{/code}}. Move this file to some directory outside the //webapps// directory, such as for example {{code language="none"}}TOMCAT_DIRECTORY/mywebapps/formcycle.war{{/code}}.
30
31 === Deleting the ROOT directory ===
32
33 In case there exists a directory named //ROOT// at {{code language="none"}}TOMCAT_DIRECTORY/webapps{{/code}} already, you need to delete this directory before starting Tomcat. By default, the ROOT directory contains the welcome pages of Tomcat.
34
35 === Edit the configuration file ===
36
37 You must modify the context path so that it point to the new path of the //formcycle.war//. When the file has been moved to {{code language="none"}}TOMCAT_DIRECTORY/mywebapps/formcycle.war{{/code}}, the configuration file must be changed as follows.

46 After restarting Tomcat {{html}}<span class="xm-smallcaps">Xima® Formcycle</span>{{/html}} can be opened from the root domain.
