Re: Multiple development sites using different ports
Hello, yesterday I set up exactly what you need You need to set up 2 services, and inside define your hosts and connectors. So here my server.xml: Server port=8005 shutdown=SHUTDOWN debug=0 Service name=inst1 Connector port=8180 minProcessors=5 maxProcessors=75 useBodyEncodingForURI=true enableLookups=true redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100 debug=0 connectionTimeout=2 useURIValidationHack=false disableUploadTimeout=true / Connector port=8009 enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 protocol=AJP/1.3 / Engine name=Standalone defaultHost=localhost debug=0 Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger directory=logs prefix=www.example.com. suffix=.txt timestamp=true / Cluster className=org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster / /Host /Engine /Service Service name=inst2 Connector port=8181 minProcessors=5 maxProcessors=75 useBodyEncodingForURI=true enableLookups=true redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100 debug=0 connectionTimeout=2 useURIValidationHack=false disableUploadTimeout=true / Connector port=8010 enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 protocol=AJP/1.3 / Engine name=Standalone defaultHost=localhost2 debug=0 Host name=localhost2 debug=0 appBase=/home/tomcat/yourapp unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger directory=/home/tomcat/yourapp/logs prefix=www.example.com2. suffix=.txt timestamp=true / Cluster className=org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster / /Host /Engine /Service /Server This makes you 2 tomcats, one on loaclhost:8180 and the other on loaclhost:8181, with different folders in the filesystem where the webapps are deployed, one in /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps, and the other in /home/tomcat/yourapp I use tomcat 5.5, but I guess this will work on 6.0 as well.

Re: Multiple development sites using different ports
Ha, that's embarrassing. I've been substituting real names for fake ones for the sake of this discussion and got my wires crossed in my reply. In any event, I have tried what you suggested re: the hosts file and still no dice. There is a slight difference this time, though. Rather than getting a can't establish a connection message, I get a blank page. Is that progress? 8-) Also, no log files are being created.

Then go comment out one of your Service elements and try to access the other. Tail -f the catalina.out log file, making sure your Connectors are starting properly. If that works, reverse it and try the other Service. When they're confirmed to work independently, try together. However, I'd give the Engine elements different names, and I'd get rid of the Cluster (unnecessary) and Logger (invalid) elements first...

Multiple development sites using different ports
I'd like to configure Tomcat so that I can run multiple dev websites as root relative and distinguish them via port numbers. In order words, I'd like to run http://localhost:8080/index.jsp and have that be a different site (using a different directory) than http://localhost:9800/index.jsp The reason this matters to me is because I like running my sites as root-relative. That way I can reference images, files, etc as, for example, /images/logo.png rather than having to traverse the directory structure via ../. This makes the site much more portable and accurately reflects how the site will run in production anyway (where most sites run as root).

Re: Multiple development sites using different ports
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I am pretty green about all this and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. When you say better off using paths that are relative to the context root do you mean I shouldn't be using root-relative? What tools are available that will help me do this in the JSP (I am not using a templating system; these are just prototype sites I am building - not complicated). I read the advanced configuration section of running.txt and the connector part seemss straightofward but then it seems to require startup variables at the command line. I have Tomcat running as a service so setting it to run with a different $CATALINA_BASE is not obvious. Thanks.
