Hello Johann,

I tried following the steps

1. Created myModule/views/welcome.html in labkey/modules
2. Restarted tomcat
3. In the look and feel settings page I set "Alternative site welcome page" to "/myModule/welcome.view" (viewEntry.png)
4. Hit Save

The welcome page will be loaded when a user loads the site with no action provided (i.e. https://www.labkey.org). So in my case this was http://localhost:8080/labkey/. See (view.png). This loads a view as expected.

If you want a simple HTML page

"or /myModule/welcome.html for a simple HTML page in the web directory of your module." --> From the docs. This could use a bit of clarification, and we can get the doc updates.

But to have the simple HTML page you need to

1. Add a another folder in in myModule called web
2. Within web create another folder called myModule and add your welcome.html here
3. Should look like

• myModule
  ---view
  ---web
  ------myModule
  ---------welcome.html

4. In the look and feel settings page I set "Alternative site welcome page" to "/myModule/welcome.html" (htmlEntry.png)
5. You should see html.png

This doc lays out the structure of a module.

Questions

1. in the Look and feel settings page I choose "myModule.welcome". Did you select this by setting "Alternative site welcome page" to "/myModule/welcome.view"?
2. What was the other relative URL you tried?

Thanks,
Chet
