From the output, I get;

INFO: Deploying web application directory C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\manager

What I need it to deploy is "root", and not "manager". After researching the topic and looking through IntelliJ's tutorials, I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. This is my first attempt at a web app, so I apologize if I am overlooking something trivial.

I am also using Tomcat 7 as my application server.

This message has nothing to do with your artifact deployment, see this answer.

Web application is deployed directly from the directory that is set as the output directory of your artifact.

You can change artifact output to be TOMCAT\webapps\ROOT, but normally it's not needed.

UPDATE:

Check your Run configuration Deployment tab, did you specify the artifact to deploy and its context? Is the context set to "/" (ROOT)? You may also need to disable deploying applications already configured in this Tomcat instance, here are the relevant settings:

  • Thanks @CrazyCoder, I think the issue is maybe I am asking the wrong question. When I run it, it does pull up the default screen that says "If you are seeing this, you've successfully installed Tomcat. Congratulations!" but I am trying to run the index.jsp that I have written found in the root folder (Which I created an artifact for). – Jason Renaldo Dec 13 '12 at 14:57
