can't find deployed web app in browser
Hi
I'm sure I'm missing something really easy, I'm new to web design.
I have just deployed a simple web app on my server. Now the war file unpacked properly and I can see my index.html file where it is supposed to be.
However when I try to go in my browser to the address: mywebsite.com/myApp/index.html I get a 404 webpage not found error.
When I deploy the app on my local computer everything runs fine so I know that my war file and my web pages work.
Could anyone please tell me what I've forgotten to do?
Thanks loads

Which server are you running? you need to include the port (or have port fowarding/redirection setup to redirect the url to the port). If your using tomcat or something similar try the port 8080.
e.g.
mywebsite.com:8080/myApp/index.html

It depends on who/how your site is hosted. Normally there is an option on the admin screen for your server.
Glad it helped though ;-)
