How to use only "plm.lightbreeze.ml" to go to the home page instead of using the suffix "Windchill/app"

Do You mean that you don't want to use the name Windchill after slash?

You would like to just use address of server?

If So, then you need to change a page "It Works" with redirect script,

But it will work just for browsers, not for Creo where /Windchill has to be used.

You should know small background how a Tomcat works. The /Windchill is a pointer to a web application

I remember when I install Windchill. I can change the address of the home page. But as you said, I need to make a redirect script. But I don't know how to.I've only used Springboot before. Windchill is a little bit tough for me.

Hi @guide_me

Do you mean a welcome page? You just want to directly show Windchill home page with tasks and so on?

if so in Windchill 11.1 there was a checkbox to do not show welcom page again.

When I go to "http://plm.lightbreeze.com/" , and "It works" page will comes up by default. But now I want it shows the Welcome page up instead of the "It works" page.

Hi @guide_me

You need to change an Apache html index page

apache index html : example location D:\Windchill_10.2\HTTPServer\htdocs\index.html

edit that HTML page and add following code:

<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=/Windchill"> <meta name="keywords" content="automatic redirection"> </head> <body> <h1>It works!</h1></p> Web server Windchill is working. </p> You will be redirect to a Windchill Home Page</p> <b>Use following URL to manual login to Windchill : <h2><a href="/Windchill"><font color="red">Windchill</font></a> </h2></b> </body> </html>

Limitation> I don't think that it works in a Creo Parametric.

@guide_me

You can study some others techniques but it is not so simple as a editing the html page.

for example here you can find some others ways how to do so

https://serverfault.com/questions/262927/apache-tomcat-url-without-app-name

definitely you need a test environment and also full backup
