Unable to see Openshift application - openshift

Question

I added a new openshift application. I followed the instructions and uploaded my code via git push.
The upload logs seem to be fine:
1)the ROOT.war got created:

git/

However, when I hit the url(http://opinion-expertviews.rhcloud.com) I am still seeing the
"Welcome to your JBossEWS (Apache/Tomcat) application on OpenShift" screen
What am I missing?
Solved:
I was uploading my files incorrectly. Corrected way:
I compiled my projects into a war file, put it into the webapps
folder at root of the openshift git directory.
removed the pom.xml
file pushed the updated folder to my application
Application now available at:
http://app_name-namespace.rhcloud.com/app_name.
Thanks a lot for your help and guiding me, although it was stupid of me to miss these points

Answer 1

Since you are deploying your war file with a name other than ROOT.war, you will need to visit your application at the context that is the same as the name of the war file you deployed. For example, if your war file was named myapplication.war, your url would be http://app-domain.rhcloud.com/myapplication, to fix this, you can rename your war file ROOT.war, and your application would be available at http://app-domain.rhcloud.com/
