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

Although It is not a best way to solve my problem, it still a good way. Thank you for your help!
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
