Is there a way to remap/replace webapps/ROOT?

This says your webapps will normally be deployed in
/path/to/public_html; is that what you want?

> public_html.xml:
> <Context path="" debug="0" swallowOutput="true">
> </Context>

The path attribute is not allowed, unless the <Context> element is in
server.xml, which is not recommended.  The actual path to the app is
determined by the name of the .xml file in conf/Catalina/localhost or
the name of the properly formatted directories or .war files under
webapps.  If you want a particular app to be the default app, its
<Context> element should be in a file named ROOT.xml in
conf/Catalina/localhost with a docBase attribute pointing to the
location of the app.

> This setup is still working with Tomcat/4.1.18.

Context configuration has changed significantly since then.

Just to clarify:

1) What is the actual file system path of your default webapp?
2) What is the actual value of the appBase attribute for your <Host>
element?
