I want to deploy it to

http://localhost

Cornelius

Answer 1

To change the run-app port, edit grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy and add the line

grails.server.port.http = 80

To remove the context (the 'myApp' part) edit application.properties and add the line

app.context=/

or to remove the 'myApp' part, add the following code block to Config.groovy: grails.app.context="/". Not sure but application.properties is auto generated file, so it is safe to add in Config.groovy – Noaccount

Answer 2

deploy your app to a tomcat server with the war name as ROOT.war. Because war names describe contexts... papa.war will be available through [root_domain]/papa

i got one more solution by googling i.e if i write grails.app.context="/" in conf.groovy file ill get url with out app name.but i when i run with -Dserver.port=80 run-app it won work as before and app name will display. – Cornelius

i am still in development mode not deployed yet..and i am using 80 apache port bcz i don want to display any port number in URL – Cornelius

SO in development how can i achieve it with default port? – Cornelius

but what if I have more than one Application running. I could not run them all using ROOT.war!? – Watermark

Answer 3

To remove the port, use:

grails -Dserver.port=80 run-app
