How to change the default URL from "localhost:8080/bonita" to "localhost:8080"?

Q&A

Hello,

I tried to change the Bonita BPM (Community - Version 7.1.3) default URL, from “http://localhost:8080/bonita” to “http://localhost:8080/”, but I did not succeed.

I always get the following error: “org.bonitasoft.console.common.server.utils.DefaultTenantIdException”.

I followed every single suggestions that I found on the Community website, and other websites also, but with no success.

Please give any instructions if anybody ever succeeded in changing the dafault URL of Bonita BPM installation.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Andi

It’s not really recommended to fiddle with the directory structures of platform, and using /bonita allows you to use multiple applications on the same server…

“http://localhost:8080/bonita”
“http://localhost:8080/mySQL”
“http://localhost:8080/kmHelpDesk”
etc.

But if you really must, then I suggest you leave the original structure alone and use Redirection. See the following:

Hi,

What I can suggest is to create an index.html page in Tomcat webapps/ROOT folder with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<script>
window.setTimeout(function() {
window.location = "/bonita";
}, 5000);
</script>
<title>Bonitasoft</title>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
</head>
<body>
<img src="./img/logo.png" alt="Bonitasoft">
<p>After 5 seconds you will be redirected automatically to <a href="/bonita">/bonita</a></p>
</body>
</html>

You must also delete or rename the index.jsp file located in webapps/ROOT folder.

In your tomcat home, edit /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF:, and comment out this section:

Welcome to Tomcat

Welcome to Tomcat

Then, Add this section:

index.jsp Then rename the existing /webapp/ROOT/index.jsp to something else. Create a new index.jsp: <% response.sendRedirect("bonita"); %>

Actually out of interest why would you want to?

Localhost is your machine, no-one-elses…tired of typing the /bonita? :slight_smile:
