My First HTML Page - hello.html

This section provides a tutorial example on how to create the first Web page with HTML code to test the Tomcat Web server.

Now I am ready to create my first Web page written as an HTML file on the Tomcat server.

1. Create a text file called hello.html with the following HTML code:

<html><body>Hello world!</body></html>

2. Save this HTML file to the default application folder:

\local\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\hello.html

3. Run a Web browser with this URL: http://localhost:8080/hello.html. You should see the "Hello world!" message in the browser:

Apache Tomcat - Hello HTML Page
Apache Tomcat - Hello HTML Page

Congratulations! Now, we have confirmed that Tomcat server is running as a Web server:
