WebSphere Liberty Profile: Context Root Not Found

Question

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:

Answer 1

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