Tomcat VirtualHost Setup Issue..

your_shadow03 · 11-23-2009, 10:14 PM

Hello Al,

I have recently installed Tomcat on my new CentOS 5.2.

Code:

[root@on3 ~]# echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/jdk1.6.0_17
[root@on3 ~]# echo $CATALINA_HOME
/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.18
[root@travelodgemon3 ~]#

Now I am in verse of setting up VirtualHost on Tomcat. I followed this link:http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/tomcat-vhost.html almost every step.
I have server.xml entry for new VirtualHost as:

Code:

 <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="start.com" />
       <Host name="start.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps/start.com"
      unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
    xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

         <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
       directory="logs"  prefix="$host\_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>

    <Alias>start.com</Alias>
     </Host>

Earlier there was only on eentry:

Code:

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps/localhost"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

May I know what I need to type on Web URl to see if its configured properly.

Hi,

If tomcat is configured to listen on port the default port 8080, then the URL should be: http://start.com:8080

Yep...I had checked that and its working fine with the URL.

I have start.com webpage( thru VirtualHost In Tomcat) running now. I can easily browse through http://start.com:8080/. All I need is creating http://en.start.com:8080 which opens up different application.

Can alias come up into this picture?
How can I achieve the same?

Alias is not going to work, as all it does is to give server a different name (thus using the same webapp)
You have to create another vhost en.start.com using a different context for the webapp that runs on that vhost.
See this for details
