I can't seem to get this working locally, even though the same WAR works on a remote server. When I go to visit my application locally, I get the "Context Root Not Found" error. The Liberty profile version is 8.5.5.5.

Here are the relevant files:

Remove <virtual-host name="tlc_host"/> from your ibm-web-ext.xml file. As you dont have tlc_host, but default_host.

Context Root Not found is caused due to issue in one of the config files. In my case, web.xml had an unclosed comment due to which the war was not built correctly.

This resulted in EAR file not updating.

Solution:

  1. Compare you web.xml with previous versions to see what changed.
  2. Add war to the server instead of the ear file to see the error. (If Running on Liberty Server)
