Re: Virtual hosts and Threads

[Mark Thomas]

When starting a new thread (ie sending a message to the list about a 
new topic) please do not reply to an existing message and change the 
subject line. To many of the list archiving services and mail clients 
used by list subscribers this  makes your new message appear as part 
of the old thread. This makes it harder for other users to find 
relevant information when searching the lists.


This is known as thread hijacking and is behaviour that is frowned 
upon on this list. Frequent offenders will be removed from the list.


The correct procedure is to create a new message with a new subject. 
This will start a new thread.

Hi All

I have setup virtual hosts for 3 apps with virtual hosts config as 
follows. These virtual hosts are first handled by Apache and mod_jk. My 
apps have scheduler and automated mailing services.


unpackWARs="true">

www.vhost.domain.com
directory="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log" prefix="vhost_log1." 
suffix=".log" timestamp="true"/>
 docBase="${jboss.server.home.dir}/deploy/application.war" debug="0" 
reloadable="true"/>

 

This config is mailing the same mail 7 time. Further I noticed that there 
were 7 service started of the same kind. Querying the developer, he said 
that he had coded the apps to have the mail sent once every week. The 
mails are sent once every week but as said 7 copies of the same mail is 
delivered.


The request for the app results in page not found if I follow the 
following config, even thought there is no error in startup.


docBase="${jboss.server.home.dir}/deploy/application.war" debug="0" 
reloadable="true"/>




Can you guys have any idea on this and help me troubleshoot ???

Re: Virtual Hosts

[Tom Burke]

Mahesh

Thanks for your help.

I think something I don't understand is: what's its root of the virtual 
server's appbase?


I have tomcat (5.0.28) installed in "c:\Tomcat 5.0", with the usual set 
of directories

within that - bin, common, conf, logs, server, shared, temp, webapps,
work. I don't have a development environment at all. I have applications
installed within webapps, using the defaulthost (localhost) and they
work fine. Here's a sample of my server.xml:



 
   

 

 
   
   
 

 
 
   

I've created a directory within webapps called 'some_host' and within
that is a simple jsp, a 'welcome' script. I know that the server, and an 
external PC, know (from use of Hosts files) that some_host.com is mapped 
to the server's IP address, and I can successfully ping that address. 
But I'm not getting the jsp to run! - I just get a 'page unavailable' 
response. There are no errors in the startup log so I think it must be 
that Tomcat doesn't know where to look for the welcome.jsp, which 
suggests that specifying appbase = "webapps/some_host" isn't working.

Hi Tom

"deploy" is a directory in any platform you are running Tomcat until
unless specified. You need to create the directory if not found.
Generally it can be found at /jboss/server/default/deploy

Re: Virtual Hosts

[Tom Burke]

I, too, am having problems configuring virtual hosts, in a Tomcat 5.0.28 
server, with no Apache, on a Windows XP machine. I've studied the 
documentation and am puzzled by one area in particular: the definition 
of 'appBase'. For example, in the text below you suggest putting this in 
the  section within server.xml:


appBase="deploy"

In a Windows environment, what is "deploy"? Is it a directory within the 
tomcat installation? If so, where? I can't see where this location is 
defined, it just seems to be mentioned in server.xml, in other examples 
as well as this one. Obviously there's something I'm not 
understanding...

There is a default webapp per host, not per Tomcat.  (However, the path
attribute must not be used unless the  entry is in server.xml,
and that is strongly discouraged these days.)  To quote from the Tomcat
server reference doc for the path attribute:

"The context path of this web application, which is matched against the
beginning of each request URI to select the appropriate web application
for processing. All of the context paths within a particular Host must
be unique. If you specify a context path of an empty string (""), you
are defining the default web application for this Host, which will
process all requests not assigned to other Contexts. The value of this
field must not be set except when statically defining a Context in
server.xml, as it will be infered from the filenames used for either the
.xml context file or the docBase."

> I'm not sure how you could implement real virtual hosts on Tomcat

Now that's an interesting turn of phrase: "real virtual hosts".

Re: Virtual hosts with standalone tomcat 5.5.9

[Parsons Technical Services]

You can't do it that way. At least the testing. You either have to set up 
DNS to resolve both names back to the IP or put entries in your host file. 
When you do a request to the server the header holds the URL and when you 
use the localhost that is what is sent in the header. Tomcat then will use 
the first host since there is no match. And that is why www.mysite.com 
works. It is the first one listed.


Add the entries to your host file and try the actual URLs listed in the 
server.xml, then if all else is right, it will work.

All I need is different FQDNs (Fully qualified domain names)

Say:

www.mysite.com,

mail.external.mysite.com

I tried simply going like this









and www.mysite.com works fine but mail.external.mysite.com doesn't.

In my trials, I am actually using http://localhost:8080/ and
http://host2.localhost:8080/ and I am just copying all the files from the
webapps folder.

I don't think that this should be causing any problems, though.

I have searched for it and you get a lot on links refering to previous

You can drop the ... line in your installtion.

$host should be replaced by smpdev.mwhglobal.com

then your directory

webapps/smpdev.mwhglobal.com

should contain an unpacked copy of the site you're working with, including
your web.xml configuration file.


You need to create the configuration file in

conf/Catalina/smpdev.mwhglobal.com/ROOT.xml






A caveat though is I haven't tested the instructions on Windows so you may
need to modify various things to make it go.

Yours,

Pete Stevens

Dola,

The simplest way is to have a welcome page such as index.html that redirects

I've been reading about the HOST element, and i see
that it can make mysite.com and www.mysite.com go to

But can it make "www.mysite.com" be forwarded to

RE: Virtual Hosts and SSL

[Benson Margulies]

Some posters misunderstand virtual hosts.

The first step in creating a virtual host is to assign it a unique IP
address and host name. 

The second step is to configuring the machine's ethernet adapter to have
several IP addresses. This is done on Unix/Linux by creating additional
devices with the : syntax and on Windows by adding them to the config
dialog box.

The third step is to configure the web server to know about all this.

Correct.  This is (or at least, should be) true all around: the SSL
negotiation takes place at a lower protocol level than the HTTP request
that specifies which virtual host the client wants to see.  Yet, it's
during the negotiation phase that client software compares the requested
hostname to the CN value of the cert.

Hello,
I can't find anything specific to my question in the FAQs but I'm trying

What I want is to have each ip use port 443 with its own document tree
(virtual host) but I cannot seem to get this to work. When I set up an
additional ip to use port 443 I get an error 400 (bad request).

 I'm not sure what you mean by "virtual host".  AFAIK there are
generally two uses of the phrase.  

 The first is to refer to a single web server answering to more
than one domain name _without_ using one IP address per domain name.

 The second is to offer a customer seemingly full access to a
server to run their website, without having one separate physical box
per customer.  Some solutions go all the way and try to make the
customer feel like they have root on the box.  Some solutions just provide
the customer a greater-than-end-user level of access to tweaking the
configuration of their webserver, cgi scripts and database.


 If you're asking the first, I don't know if my recent learning
experience with Apache Virtual hosting will be relevant, but it may be
give you some insight into what you're doing.  It may only go for
tomcat used in an apache/modjk/tomcat setup.  Or it may not be at all
relevant to tomcat, whether stand-alone or with apache.

 I recently re-installed my apache server, and in the process set
up apache virtual hosting.  I learned that it's almost impossible to
set up SSL with virtual hosts with apache, you need to use IP-based
hosting if you want to serve multiple domains from one apache
installation via SSL, without any hitches.

 That said, if all you really care about is encrypting the
connection, non-IP based (i.e. virtual) multiple domain hosting is
still tolerable.

 Basically the SSL cert that's served by the server will match the
default virtual host (the first one defined in the configuration).
Requests to the other domains on the SSL port will hit the same SSL
server and get served the SSL cert for the default domain.  The
browser will squawk because the Cert doesn't match the domain.  

 If you're *really* security-conscious, this is a problem, since
there's an opportunity for a man-in-the-middle attack.  Somebody could
slip the browser a bogus Cert and proxy requests to your server,
eavesdropping on them all the while.  But if you're just providing
some encrypted web-access to an application, you may not mind.

 Security is all about trade-offs.

Those books are making reference to getting the client's IP/hostname.  And
that would be controlled through the connector attribute 'enableLookups'. 

This is about getting the Server's hostname.

There is a setting somewhere in Tomcat (versions up to 4.1.X at least)
where you enable/disable reverse DNS.
Most of the time you want this off, but I think in your case you may need it
turned on.
I think the swtich is in the Tomcat server.xml, and it relates to the connector you 
are using. Its something like 'enableLookups'.
While this sounds odd, two books I have state you need this to get names
and not IP addresses. Also, the books mention using request.getRemoteHost(), and that 
it is effected by the settings in server.xml

Do you meant "deployOnStartup" ("loadOnStartup")? It
is not available in 4.1.xx (my case).

I found easer to manage multiple contexts in separate

Just for the archives, Tomcat loads *all* webapps when "loadOnStartup"
is true for the  element.  Set it to "false" and you won't have
that problem.

Of course, if you're deploying apps to the same dir, but they're managed

to false, as well.  Otherwise you'll trigger a deployment on the other

RE: Virtual Hosts Kill My JSPs

[LILES, DAVID (CONTRACTOR)]

We are configured with multiple  tags and each project has identically named 
JSPs but we don't seem to be experiencing what you have described 

We followed the following document we created

Subject: Virtual Hosts Kill My JSPs


Hi, 

Thought I'd try again :)

We are using Tomcat v5.0.19 as a stand-alone server,
with the Coyote HTTP 1.1 Connector, on Windows 2000.
We have Tomcat configured with two virtual hosts
(i.e., two  elements). The virtual hosting is
working great except for a problem with identically
named JSPs across hosts:

NUTSHELL

In a nutshell, when Tomcat translates a JSP into a
servlet, it is *NOT* taking into account which 
the JSP belongs to. It translates the JSP into a
servlet and dumps the resulting Java source code in
the same directory, regardless of what  the JSP
came from. 

This causes a big problem if the different hosts have
a JSP that happens to be the same name, like, say,
index.jsp. Since the generated Java code
(index_jsp.java) is dumped into the same directory,
regardless of which  the JSP originated from,
Tomcat will serve the index.jsp that got translated
first. So, both hosts end up sharing the same
index.jsp.
 

MORE SPECIFICS (More Details)
--
In my server.xml I have two  elements
configured:


   



  


The "name" attribute of the first Host element is
"xxx.test1.com" and the "name" attribute on
the second Host is "xxx.text2.com". Of course, I also
have the Windows "hosts" file set up so that both host
names are associated with 127.0.0.1. In other words,
the "hosts" file has entries for both xxx.test1.com
and xxx.test2.com and they both point to 127.0.0.1.

Both test1 and test2 have their own directories. In
other words, both "appBase" attributes of the 
elements point to the directory appropriate to that
host (xxx.test1.com or xxx.test2.com). 

I hope this is clear so far. 

With Tomcat running I can browse to either
http://xxx.test1.com or http://xxx.test2.com and the
correct page is served. Tomcat seems to be using
virtual hosting just fineexcept...

If both test1 and test2 have a JSP with the same name
(like, say, index.jsp), then there's confusion. The
first index.jsp that gets compiled is the one that
gets served for *BOTH* hosts. For example:

Assume no JSPs are yet compiled.
I go to http://xxx.test1.com/index.jsp, causing the
test1's index.jsp to be compiled and rendered. That's
expected. Now, go to http://xxx.test2.com/index.jsp 
-- the result is still test1's version of index.jsp!

Now, if I modify test2's index.jsp and I go to
http://xxx.test2.com/index.jsp I see what I expect --
test2's JSP with the modification I just made. But now
if I go to http://xxx.test1.com/index.jsp I also see
test2's index.jsp, not test1's JSP!!!

HERE'S WHY IT HAPPENS!
-
Now, I know, partially why this is happening. You know
that Tomcat uses a separate directory to store
compiled JSPs. As I mentioned, Tomcat is not
differentiating between hosts when it writes the Java
source code (from the translated JSP) to this
directory. It's simply putting *all*
compiled JSPs into the same directory (WINNT/temp).
Since both test1 and test2 have identically named
"index.jsp" files, Tomcat does not distinguish them.
In both cases it generates "index_jsp.java" as needed,
overwriting the previous version. That is the crux of
what's causing my grief.

One would think Tomcat would build a directory
structure reflective of the host name and contexts so
that identically named JSPs from different hosts do
not over-write each other.

Can anyone offer any comments on this? Is anyone still
reading at this point?

Thanks,

LS

..of course, the second host name should read 'website2.com' - apologies for
typo.

I've just tried the same approach with the website1 and website2 folders
directly below the application context, but it still doesn't want to parse.

Appreciate any input

This is not a 'special' interest. This is a legitimate resource leak
that he wants them to fix. He can demonstrate the leak. That's all
that's necessary on his part. The rest is up to the developers. I'm not
suggesting that he fix the problem. Only to demonstrate it and get the
developers to fix the problem.

Yes, but *this* sysadmin also has enpirical data that demonstrates the
resource leak. Forget sar and top. How about "the app locks up". That
should be motivating enough.

Actually, the sysadmin is the /perfect/ person to fine-tune app servers.
Most devs don't know jack about the app server they use. That's why they
deploy onto app servers with standard interfaces and services (Servlet
and JSP spec). The deployment and admin folks are the ones who should
know how to configure the app servers.

Here's the problem: the devs refuse to admit there's a problem. They
won't go to the newsgroups to ask about a problem that they don't
believe exists. That's why the sysadmin is here. He wanted to get some
information on how to prove that there's a leak. He's gotton that
information. Let's wait for the devs to visit the group, now ;)

I think the problem is that the devs think the sysadmin is foolish and
wrong about the resource leak. Now that he can demonstrate the leak,
they will take him more seriously.

I believe that we have helped in this situation, and that the devs will
now address the problem instead of sticking their heads in the sand.

In fact, cap it at 10 and watch the app dring to a halt before it even

Oh, I totally meant in a development setting. I would never suggest that

Easy for you to say.

Let's face it: these guys have a connection leak. Plain and simple. Your 
devs need to find their leak. It is demonstrable. It locks up the 
server. QED. Make them fix it.

This isn't about communication or a sysadmin whining to the devs about

Antonio,

gets going. This is a pretty compelling example. If the pool is drying 
up, they're definately screwing up.
It is. But developers may reply: "You are using less connections than 
those specified in (the contract) / (the manual) / (fill in yourself)".
I thinks we're misunderstanding each other. I think that when the pool 
is capped, and the connections are never returned, you get to a point 
where the pool refuses to give you a new connection, no matter how long 
you wait.

This is a pretty good idea for some basic debugging. You should only 
have to demonstrate to your devs that you can deadlock their server by 
capping the connection pool. After that, it's their problem, right? :)
With the proposal, you demonstrate they have a connection leak, which is 
the real problem.

Once you showed them they had ONE connection leak, you can urge them to 
dig for other connection leaks themselves.

But, of course, the idea about the deadlock seems really good also. If I 
understood, what you mean is: "If you set the connection pool size too 
low for the app, it should crash at will (or better, show an 
'unavailable' screen), but it should continue working as soon as load 
permits it." Am I wrong?
I'm thinking that the connections are added to the pool upon request 
(from his observationa, it looks like the 10 pre-allocated connections 
are always ignored), and then never returned. The pool remembers the 
pre-allocated ones, plus the ones it created on-the-fly. I think that if 
he caps the connection pool size at 25, it will only take 20 requests to 
lock up the server for want of a DB connection.

Try setting the pool size to 11 and see if you lock up after one request ;)

That (with a high probability) is because some objects they store in 
sessions are not Serializable. IOW, they violate the Servlet 
Specification.


I'm just curious: is this actually a violation of the servlet spec? 
The API seems to indicate that you can put anything in the session 
that you want. I don't think it has to be Serializable... thought I 
was wrong before, once ;)


I'm not 100% sure. What I am sure is that you cannot user session 
replication or session persistence without this.


Tried that.  Capped it at 35 and the webserver stopped servicing any 
DB request as soon as the pool reached 35.  This is why I believe the 
pool management is faulty and/or something is hogging all the 
connections.

In fact, cap it at 10 and watch the app dring to a halt before it even

It is. But developers may reply: "You are using less connections than 
those specified in (the contract) / (the manual) / (fill in yourself)".


It depends on the size of your rollback segments and the number of 
transactions you are doing. If you do big transactions, each DB 
connection (thread *or* process) wioll need a big chunk of memory. I 
wouldn't kill yourself trying to figure out how to reduce this process 
size. Fix the real problem, which is poor connection management.


No doubt...


I've seen code like this before. Many people think you can't get a 
stack trace unless you throw an exception. Not so. All you have to do 
is instantiate it, and you get the stack trace. So, the following will 
produce identical results, without the nasty try/throw/catch:

new Exception("Pool debugged says: ...").printStackTrace();


I thought I had tried that (JDK1.3) and I thought it had not worked. 
Glad to know it does...


I would recommend explicitly printing out the hashCode of the 
Connection object itself, just in case the connection doesn't include 
any identifying information in it's .toString method.


Oh. Of course... I never happened to come across such a braindead 
Connection class.



Then you can...
#!/bin/sh
# Filter pool debugger statements.

I share your belief. Let's try to prove it. Raise it to some other 
figure, and see if the same happens again. Ask them how big should the 
figure be.
In fact, cap it at 10 and watch the app dring to a halt before it even 
gets going. This is a pretty compelling example. If the pool is drying 
up, they're definately screwing up.

Oracle 9i takes 16M per connections.  So Oracle claims.  I've tested 
it as high as 20M.  I generally use 18M as a guideline
I've heard (not a DBA, though) that Oracle 9i has a mode where it does 
not spawn a process per connection, but uses threads instead (?) and in 
that mode it uses far less resources. This way, we have some modest 
Oracle servers hjandling up to 300 simultaneous (mostly idle) connections.
It depends on the size of your rollback segments and the number of 
transactions you are doing. If you do big transactions, each DB 
connection (thread *or* process) wioll need a big chunk of memory. I 
wouldn't kill yourself trying to figure out how to reduce this process 
size. Fix the real problem, which is poor connection management.

I'll mention DBCP and see what happens
DBCP has a nice "removeAbandoned" feature.

Otherwise, you can use this code (tweak it to your needs) to track where 
connections are opened and closed from:

(code not tested at all)

I've seen code like this before. Many people think you can't get a stack 
trace unless you throw an exception. Not so. All you have to do is 
instantiate it, and you get the stack trace. So, the following will 
produce identical results, without the nasty try/throw/catch:

new Exception("Pool debugged says: ...").printStackTrace();

I would recommend explicitly printing out the hashCode of the Connection 
object itself, just in case the connection doesn't include any 
identifying information in it's .toString method.

Then you can...
#!/bin/sh
# Filter pool debugger statements.
This is a pretty good idea for some basic debugging. You should only 
have to demonstrate to your devs that you can deadlock their server by 
capping the connection pool. After that, it's their problem, right? :)

RE: Virtual Hosts with Apache and Tomcat

[Kannan Sundararajan]

Being yourself as SYSADMIN for UNIX and Network, it would be nice that
developers or professional should take a lead into get into this problem.

It looks like that to me that it has been stepping or bossing up the
developers up there. And since there is lot of techonology involved, it
would be much difficult for anyone to fix your problem. I guess there might
be some senior developer, who can do the situation much better. 

You have been trying to getinto JVMs and tuning and so on... the best is
developers to be involved actively. 

There could be lot of documents and phrases from a developer side, which you
are conveying. But for me looks like that you are trying to put your own
things into them, which may be difficult as a communication area of project
management( which is very crucial to success of a project).

RE: Virtual Hosts with Apache and Tomcat

[Mike Curwen]

I have a sneaking suspicion that someone is still blowing smoke. ;)  
Either
1) the oracle pool has a leak
2) oracle server has a problem closing connections
3) you have a leak in the application.
 
For problem 3), I find the DBCP's ability to 'tattle' on bad JSP
pages/classes invaluable in tracking down this type of behaviour.  
 
Here's a (big) snip. I've removed a bunch of parameters, as they would
change for your app. But the key ones are included at the bottom.









factory

org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory












removeAbandoned
true


removeAbandonedTimeout
20


logAbandoned
true



When you have a mis-behaving JSP (one that doesn't return its
connection), you'll get a stack trace in catalina.out (or wherever you
have redirected catalina.out) that contains the name of the JSP or class
that did not return a connection, and that was forced abandoned by the
pool. With the above config, this happens in 20 seconds (though it won't
be logged until the *next* access of the pool).  I'm not familiar with
the Oracle drivers, but hopefully they have something similar?
 
The reason I think your developers are blowing smoke... You are using
4.1.x and they are quoting 3.x docs.  They should know better!

that they probably *are* wrong.


If the number of connections keeps going up and never tapers off or
stops altogether, then something is misconfigured with your connection
pools. Even if the engineers say that the pages are clean, you should
protect the app server (and the DB server) from being swamped by capping
the number of DB connections allowed. Ever. Any decent DB connection
pool lets you specify this kind of thing. You should set that value to
something reasonable. You can get away with a suprisingly low number of
these.
   

Tried that.  Capped it at 35 and the webserver stopped servicing any DB 
request as soon as the pool reached 35.  This is why I believe the pool 
management is faulty and/or something is hogging all the connections.
 

I share your belief. Let's try to prove it. Raise it to some other 
figure, and see if the same happens again. Ask them how big should the 
figure be.


(I was consulting on a big project that was a somewhat DB intensive,
web-based app. They had the app server configured to accept 75
simultaneous connections. They also set the db connection pool size to
75. I asked why and they basically said "so that every HTTP connection
can get a db connection". Duh. I talked to management and make them put
in debugging information to find out how many connections were ever in
use simultaneously. Seven. (Suckers). They also didn't realize that
Oracle takes like 10MB per connection on the backend, and they had six
physical app servers running two separate copies of the application.
That's 75 * 6 * 2 * 10MB = 900MB. Good thing the DB server had 3.5GB of
RAM, but still...)
   

Oracle 9i takes 16M per connections.  So Oracle claims.  I've tested it as 
high as 20M.  I generally use 18M as a guideline
 

I've heard (not a DBA, though) that Oracle 9i has a mode where it does 
not spawn a process per connection, but uses threads instead (?) and in 
that mode it uses far less resources. This way, we have some modest 
Oracle servers hjandling up to 300 simultaneous (mostly idle) connections.


Cap that connection pool
size at something reasonable, like ten connections. After that, the
application starves. That's good for the app server and the database,
while bad for your application. You can use Jakarta Commons' DBCP as
your connections pool. It has some wonderful debug options, like giving
you a stack trace for the code that obtained the connection if that
connection isn't returned within a certain amount of time. That can save
days or weeks of code reviews. If your connections are in TIME_WAIT, see
how long they stay that way. Waiting 5-10 minutes for a connection like
that to get cleaned up is not unheard of. If they're piling up on top of
one anothor and /never/ going away, it's time to talk to a system
administrator. If the syadmin is you, it's time to talk to the guy you
go to when you don't know things. Everyone needs a guy (or girl!) like
that. :)
   

I'll mention DBCP and see what happens
 

DBCP has a nice "removeAbandoned" feature.

Otherwise, you can use this code (tweak it to your needs) to track where 
connections are opened and cl

RE: Virtual Hosts with Apache and Tomcat

[Ralph Einfeldt]

Your developers may be right in the end but with wrong arguments.

With virtual hosting or several webapps you have just one jvm.

But each webapp has it's own classloader.
If the pool is loaded by the wepapp classloader you will have
one instance of the pool for each webapp.

Re: Virtual Hosts with Apache and Tomcat

Stephen,

I am having a problem with tomcat opening up up a number of connections to an 
oracle server that never get closed.  This causes the number of open 
connections to build up over time and, eventually, causes the oracle server 
to use all of its swap.
That's not good :(

Restarting tomcat clers this up.
That's good! :)

I think there is a problem with some jsp's opening connections and then not 
closig them but the developers claim (surprise) their code is clean.
It's tough to make sure that database connections (and statements, and

The explanation they give is:

"The increase in number of connections beyond the âCACHE_MAX_SIZEâ setting in 
the app1.properties file is due to the private labeled sites. For each 
virtual host (private labeled site), there will be a separate JVM running the 
Tomcat web server space. For each of these JVMs, there will be a separate 
database connection cache pool to serve the user requests. This is the 
designed functionality of a web server that will support virtual hosts."

I don't know tomcat near as well as I do Apache but this sounds like someone 
is blowing smoke.
This isn't too outrageous, actually. If each webapp has its own 
connection pool, and they are configured to have at maximum, say, 10 
connections, then you'll probably end up with 10 * webapp_count 
connections to the database server, regardless of the number of 
Tomcats/JVMs are running.

If Tomcat is configured to handle the connection to the database (say, 
through a Realm and a JNDI-configured connection pool), you might be 
able to share connections between all of the webapps. If you solve the 
private-labelling problem by using multiple webapps, but through the 
same database, this approach seems like an excellent idea; configure 
Tomcat to provide a JNDI-based connection pool, and then configure the 
separate applications to use that pool. That way, you can control the 
total number of connections across all private labels, instead of having 
them be independent.

If I run ps on the server it looks to me like there is 
only one instance and if I restart tomcat, _all_ virtual hosts are restarted.
Yeah, then it's definately separate webapps running on a single instance 
of Tomcat. Try to pitch the above idea to your engineers and see what 
they say (probably something like "it's fine the way it is!").

I don't care who is right or wrong but I do want to clear up this problem.  
Any ideas?  If you need any more information, just ask.
I think I'd need to know if the connections were really never going 
away. Use netstat to find out what state they're in. If they all say 
ESTABLISHED, then you've got a connection leak. If many of them say 
TIME_WAIT or something like that, then you might have a problem with 
either the client or the server not properly hanging up the phone. If 
it's the former, then yell at your engineers. Cap that connection pool 
size at something reasonable, like ten connections. After that, the 
application starves. That's good for the app server and the database, 
while bad for your application. You can use Jakarta Commons' DBCP as

Hello,

Try this:
Back up server.xml,
Delete all sections that are commented out,
change all tags to be on a single line.
Indent the file properly.
Remove the examples context.

Then comment the file by looking through the Docs.

IMPORTANT: You need to have each host serving from a different directory on
your system. I would recommend having

/webapps//
/webapps//

Etc.

Do not leave any apps/paths/wars at a higher level than any others.

Regards,
Andoni.

Re: virtual hosts in Tomcat and Apache

Yes, in general you need a VirtualHost in httpd.conf for all virtual hosts 
in server.xml.  Otherwise, AFAIK, Tomcat will use the defaultHost defined 
in the Engine container, which is typically set to "localhost" by default.

Re: virtual hosts - tomcat 4

OK, good luck.  My point was that you had to rename the ROOT folder because 
your websites are in CATALINA_HOME/webapps.  Move the Host's appBase 
outside of CATALINA_HOME, and you won't have to rename the ROOT folder, 
because there won't be any ROOT folder to rename.  And Tomcat will be happy 
because it will still have its ROOT folder in CATALINA_HOME/webapps  when 
it needs it.

Let us know if you have any more problems.

Re: virtual hosts - tomcat 4

[John Turner]

Well, at the risk of confusing the issue, I don't think I would rename the 
ROOT folder in CATALINA_HOME/webapps.  That might be asking for trouble, as 
the ROOT folder is a special folder treated differently by Tomcat in some 
cases than other web application roots.  If it were me, I would leave it 
alone.

In the example I posted, not only is the ROOT folder non-existent, the 
location of the site/application folders isn't even CATALINA_HOME/webapps.  
It works for me, I've tried it so far with 6 virtual hosts 
(c:\websites\site1, ...\site2, ...\site3, and so on).

Re: virtual hosts - tomcat 4

[Andoni]

Hello,

Tomcat gets a little *confused* when you have hosts at different levels of
the same tree.

What to do is to change your default ROOT context to webapps/default and add
your myapp one to webapps/myapp  Then treat these as you would a webapps
directory.  Don't have one at webapps level and another at webapps/myapp or
it will always get mixed up.

Andoni.

Re: virtual hosts - tomcat 4

[John Turner]

This does it for me:

 

   
directory="logs"  prefix="my-site_log." suffix=".txt" 
timestamp="true"/>

   
   
 

Notice that "c:/websites/my-site" is the site root, not the webapp root.  
That is, in c:/websites/my-site, there is:

c:/websites/my-site/index.jsp
c:/websites/my-site/WEB-INF
c:/websites/my-site/WEB-INF/web.xml
c:/websites/my-site/WEB-INF/classes
There is no ROOT folder in c:/websites/my-site.

Re: virtual hosts - tomcat 4

if you set your context path tp "/" It might make a difference. At the moment, the 
path is set to "" which is nothing.

Re: virtual hosts - tomcat 4

[Jens Skripczynski]

Hi,

I belief your question is, how to link your webapp to '/'
instead of '/webapp'.

So you need to add an explicit context as default context.

re: virtual hosts and manager app

[Edgar Dollin]

Thanks.  Of course setting up this e-mail caused me to rethink the issue
allowing me to find the answer.
 
The problem was in communication of the manager / admin application with
apache.  The fix/workaround 
was to enable the coyote http 1.1. connector on port 8080 for the 
(I was enabling a separate apache ajp
connector for each service and not the 8080 port.  
 
Does this mean that an apache service connector can only speak to a single
application context?  Anyway, I am
now able to run the ant tasks to reload my app.

There needs to be an instance of the manager web application inside each
.  Where the document root points is totally arbitrary -- for
example, you can share the document root from the standard one by setting
it to the absolute path corresponding to
"$CATALINA_HOME/server/webapp/manager".

What does "can't run any of the programs" mean?

You'll need to show us details of what your  looks like for the new
virtual host, and what error messages you get in the logs and/or in
respnose to issuing Manager commands in order to figure this one out.

a problem/bug with Tomcat...I am sure there are people out there with

Hi Chris, I am afraid we have two seperate issues.  It seems like I solved
your issues a few days ago and have a few new ones to work out.  If you 
need
any more help, send me a message directly and I will see how I can help.
However, it seems so far that the answers you have already got will work.

My issue is a little different, I have 3 virtual hosts and 3 different
web-apps defined under httpd.conf, and I have 3 different  and
 tags in server.xml.  The JSP pages ONLY work with the last 
web-app
defined.  What I mean by 'works' is that the JSP pages get compiled into
servlets, and then get served correctly by performing the business logic.

Any other web-apps defined in the httpd.conf file do not work.  What I 
mean
by they 'do not work' is that the JSP pages do not get compiled into
servlets, and do not execuet the business logic.  Instead the JSP code 
shows
up clear as day as if you were opening a text file.  This is a major
security problem, and I thought it was fixed.

I've posted this issue at least on 3 different occasions now with no 
answers
from anyone.  It could be because this issue only happens on a Windows
platform?   I guess my next step is to test out this problem on Red Hat 
8.0
Linux.   If I can duplicate the same problem on that platform, I bet it 
will
expedite a fix.  Of course, if this isn't a bug in Tomcat, then I'd expect
someone would point out that my configuration is wrong ... but that hasn't
happened yet.

Thanks.

  Tom

Re: Virtual Hosts

[Tom Holmes Jr.]

John, don't worry about it.

I got a couple of people who have a similiar configuration (Apache 2.0.43,
Tomcat 4.1.18, and Win2k) with the same setup looking into my configuration
files.   If they can have multiple virtual hosts with multiple contexts
working, then it must be something with my configuration.

With open source projects the later versions are usually more stable, but
the old idiom 'new systems generate new problems' also applies as well.
I'll just keep working on this and waiting for these projects to become more
stable.

Thanks.

server (Solaris) has two Hosts configured with 2 hosts in each, but that
uses JK.

Have you looked in bugzilla to see if anyone else has reported this?

John

Hi Chris, I am afraid we have two seperate issues.  It seems like I solved
your issues a few days ago and have a few new ones to work out.  If you need
any more help, send me a message directly and I will see how I can help.
However, it seems so far that the answers you have already got will work.

My issue is a little different, I have 3 virtual hosts and 3 different
web-apps defined under httpd.conf, and I have 3 different  and
 tags in server.xml.  The JSP pages ONLY work with the last web-app
defined.  What I mean by 'works' is that the JSP pages get compiled into
servlets, and then get served correctly by performing the business logic.

Any other web-apps defined in the httpd.conf file do not work.  What I mean
by they 'do not work' is that the JSP pages do not get compiled into
servlets, and do not execuet the business logic.  Instead the JSP code shows
up clear as day as if you were opening a text file.  This is a major
security problem, and I thought it was fixed.

I've posted this issue at least on 3 different occasions now with no answers
from anyone.  It could be because this issue only happens on a Windows
platform?   I guess my next step is to test out this problem on Red Hat 8.0
Linux.   If I can duplicate the same problem on that platform, I bet it will
expedite a fix.  Of course, if this isn't a bug in Tomcat, then I'd expect
someone would point out that my configuration is wrong ... but that hasn't
happened yet.

Thanks.

  Tom

Re: Virtual Hosts

[Ed Robbins]

If your getting these in your apache logs then you don't have Apache
configured to call Tomcat.  Apache has to configured so that when it
sees a URL ending in /examples that it passes it along to Tomcat.  For
instance, using mod_jk with ajp13 the following would do it:

JkMount /examples/* ajp13

This of course would be under the virtual host section for mysite.com

So you may have something like:


  DocumentRoot /home/httpd/htdocs/mysite
  ServerName mysite.com
  JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
  JkMount /examples/* ajp13


Hope this helps.

Re: Virtual Hosts

Does any know what would cause this message:
Directory index forbidden by rule: C:\apache\qv


This is when I go the url http://mydomain.com/examples
http://mydomain.com/examples/jsp/index.html works just fine


I'm having the same problem.  In the log files apache2/logs/COM_error_log I
get a:  Directory index forbidden by rule:   Is there a definition in
http.conf that I need to alter???

Re: Virtual Hosts

[Lajos Moczar]

And make sure both your domains are setup correctly in /etc/hosts 
(assuming you're on a 'nix). One problem I've seen is that if you don't 
have the /etc/hosts correct, Tomcat will default to one of the , 
just like Apache will default to the first  block.

In order to get "mydomain.com/examples" to work, you either:

1) Use  within  to alias mydomain.com to localhost

or

2) copy the localhost Host element, change name's value to "mydomain.com",
and then within that new Host element, setup a Context for whatever you
want.

I have finally discovered the problem on why some of my web-apps are


working


and some are not ... it is either my configuration or a 

MAJOR SERIOUS BUG


with Apache 2.0.43 and Tomcat 4.1.18 on Windows 2000.

I have included a copy of my httpd.conf file because it is 

the only one
that


matters here.  The server.xml file has one  tag and 

then it has 4


different  tags with 1  for each virtual host.

When we have two virtual host/web-apps listed below ONLY 

the JSP pages
work


for the second web-app.  They do NOT work for the first 

web-app listed.
If


I flip these virtual hosts around and then restart the Apache/Tomcat


server,


then the opposite is true.  I then tried 3 web-apps and 

again ... ONLY the


last web-app works and the JSP pages are correctly served.

If anyone needs the other files:  jk2.properties or 

workers2.properites or


server.xml, please let me know and I can provide them.  I 

am sure that
these


files are ok.  Switching the  tags around in the 

 tag did
not

I may try this same configuration on my Red Hat Linux 8.0 

box and see if
the


same problem happens.  At least that way I could say the problem is
cross-platform or just limitations on the Windows 2000 versions.

If I can be of any help, or if you need any more 

information, please let

configuration

The default server.xml already has one.  In the default server.xml,
"localhost" is a virtual host.  Basically, all  elements in server.xml
are virtual hosts.

If you post back with an error message or what's happening, maybe someone

Okay... so, I've redone my complete Tomcat/Apache setup according to
instructions on John Turner's website:

http://www.johnturner.com/howto/apache1-tomcat404-howto.html

Everything works as it should! :)

Now... I'm completely baffled as to how to set up a virtual host in
server.xml, I'm not exactly sure how to setup the elements and such to get
directories to work.

IE, I want a virtual host called "dev.infinity-tech.com" within there, 
where
JSP's can be launched from the document root of that site
(/www/docs/dev.infinity-tech.com) and servlets can be launched from a 
folder
within that directory.  If someone could help me out, or point me in a
direction to figure this out, please, let me know! :)

Web Hosting with Tomcat 4 and Apache

Overview


There are a number of configuration issues and security concerns
which must be addressed when setting up Apache and Tomcat 4 for
virtual hosting of customer sites in a web hosting environment.

The major conerns are:

1.  Delegating to untrusted customers maintenance of their applications
without compromising server security.

2.  Configuring Apache and Tomcat for virtual hosting.

3.  Surviving poorly written web applications installed by
customers.  This includes fault tolerance and identifying
which customer's web application is causing problems.

4.  Mimimize the amount of hand holding or config changes the
apache and tomcat system administrators have to make.

This is written based on my experiences setting up this type
of hosting environment on Sun Solaris hardware.  Some of this
will be specific to Solaris, but in general should work for
almost any flavor of Unix.

Unix accounts and groups


The user "tomcat" was created for running tomcat, it should
be created similar to the "nobody" account used for running
Apache.  The tomcat user is assigned to the group tomcat.
The tomcat user is a member of group "user".

The group "tomcat" was created as the group the user "tomcat"
is assigned to.

The group "user" was created, this is the group customer
ftp accounts are assigned to.  The "tomcat" account is a
member of this group so that both customers and tomcat
can write files in directories assigned to group "user".

Each customer has their own ftp account which is in group
"user".

There is a "webmaster" administrator shell account.  This
account is for your virtual host administrator. The
webmaster account is assigned to group "user" and is also
a member of group "tomcat".

Directory layout


The layout of directories is designed to make it as easy as
possible for customers to maintain their own web space content
and applications.

Here is an example of how I do it:

The customer is assigned an FTP account which has permission
to read their virtual host directory and write to a subset of
that.

For example, a customer may be assigned the following directory:

/export/home/www.customer.com root:other 755


Within that directory are sub directories which the customer
can read and/or write. Listed are the directory names, 
ownership, and mode.

www webmaster:user 2775
--

Apache document root directory.  Customer and tomcat can
both read/write directories and files.

logs root:other 755
---

Directory where apache access_log and error_log are placed.
We also rotate these logs weekly and use bzip2 to compress
any log files older than 5 weeks.  Log files less than 5
weeks old are left uncompressed so that they can be used
by web statistic software like Analog. Customer can read
files in this directory but not write files.

tomcat tomcat:tomcat 755


Directory used for the tomcat work and tomcat virtual host logs.
Only tomcat can write in this directory. Customer can read
files in this directory.

tomcat/work tomcat:tomcat 755
-

Tomcat work directory for virtual host. Only tomcat can write
files.  Customer can read files. This allows customer to review
java source files generated during a JSP page compile.

tomcat/logs tomcat:tomcat 755 
--

Tomcat log directory for virtual host. Only tomcat can write
files.  Customer can read files. This allows the customer
to review their virtual host application logs.

reports webmaster:tomcat 2775

Yes.  The appBase value can be either an absolute path or a relative path
-- if it's relative, it's resolved against $CATALINA_HOME.

It's the context that is used if the URL doesn't have a prefix that
matches the context path for any other web application.  Essentially, it's
a webapp with a context path of "" (zero length string) -- but that's not
a legal directory name on most operating systems, so there is explicit
code in Tomcat to use ROOT instead.

Re: Virtual Hosts

[Curt LeCaptain]

Okay... new interesting question.

Since Mod_JK makes it's own .conf file... it does it just via the
VirtualHost directive.

Is there a way to force it into using a "NameVirtualHost" directive?

RE: Virtual Hosts

[Shapira, Yoav]

Hi,

>What exactly would I set that to?

Depends on what you want to accomplish.  We typically leave it as
"webapps" and specify different (absolute) docBases for individual
webapps as necessary.

If you have several webapps under the same location, you can change just
the appBase to point to that location instead of changing each webapp's
docBase attribute.

>I've got dev.infinity-tech.com as what I want for my website... I want
>everything served out of /www/docs/dev.infinity-tech.com/

Do you have just one webapp or many?  

>Is that what I would set as my appBase?

If you have many webapps, all under /www/docs/dev.infinity-tech.com, and
you don't want to set the docBase for each webapp to that location, then
yes, you would set the above as your appBase.

>Also, I'm a bit shaky on what the ROOT context is.

It's simply the webapp with no context name.  The one that's accessed
when the user points his/her browser to your appBase (in the default
configuration).  If you start changing the appBase and docBases, you can
use the ROOT context for other things.

Tomcat gives you many ways to specify where the documents for your
webapps are located.

I assume you've already read the relevant tomcat docs.  If not, look at
the host reference at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html
and the context reference at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html

Question about appBase...


What exactly would I set that to?

I've got dev.infinity-tech.com as what I want for my website... I want
everything served out of /www/docs/dev.infinity-tech.com/

Is that what I would set as my appBase?

Also, I'm a bit shaky on what the ROOT context is.

Nope, just setting up server.xml should be enough.  You will need to restart
Tomcat to regen a new mod_jk.conf, then either restart apache or do
`APACHE_HOME/bin/apachectl graceful`.

Re: Virtual Hosts

Now, what I'm wondering, is since (according to your HOWTO) Tomcat is setup
to create the  directive for Apache, will setting up just my

RE: Virtual Hosts

[Turner, John]

Glad I could help.  

Check the documentation for the Host container:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html

...and the documentation for the Context container:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html

Basically, a default Tomcat install has a single Virtual Host (localhost)
with a single webapp (/examples).  So setup a new Host container that mimics
the one for localhost, and setup a ROOT Context container for your webapp
within the new Host container.

On the Apache side, setup a normal Apache VirtualHost, and in that
VirtualHost container, put two JkMount statements to map *.jsp and /servlet
to ajp13.  In workers.properties, duplicate the setup you have for
localhost, and change .host to the same name as the virtual host in Apache
and the new Host container in server.xml.

That should get you started.

Also don't forget that with Apache2 you have access to mod_vhost_alias and 
mod_vhost_aliasIP which can simplify things greatly.  Examples are in the 
Apache documentation that is installed with Apache 2.0.42
http://localhost/manual/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html

Sweet - I got it all working - now for a new question.

What is the recommended setup for an ISP/ASP with one box?  The article
I modified my workers.properties after (http://www.ubeans.com/tomcat/)
seems to be geared for "load-balancing" rather than an ISP/ASP
situation.  So I added the following and it seemed to achieve what I
wanted.


ServerName localhost
JkMount /*.jsp tomcat1
JkMount /servlet/* tomcat1


# Second Virtual Host. Also accessible via HTTPS
#

ServerName fatbastard
JkMount /*.jsp tomcat2
JkMount /servlet/* tomcat2


Where requests to http://localhost will go to tomcat 1 and
http://fatbastard will go to tomcat 2.  So if I now have to configure
this on one Linux server for approx 5 (initially) different tomcat
instances. 

So do you recommend setting up a bunch of customer1.mycompany.com
aliases that go to the same IP, or stuffing a bunch of NIC cards into
the one box?

Thanks for all your help - this stuff is great, and folks on this list
have made it very easy to setup.

It depends on your situation.  With just a few VirtualHosts it's easier to 
have the client domains aliased to your interface.

Here's a nice article that was posted here a couple of months ago.

Web Hosting with Tomcat 4 and Apache

Overview


There are a number of configuration issues and security concerns
which must be addressed when setting up Apache and Tomcat 4 for
virtual hosting of customer sites in a web hosting environment.

The major conerns are:

1.  Delegating to untrusted customers maintenance of their applications
without compromising server security.

2.  Configuring Apache and Tomcat for virtual hosting.

3.  Surviving poorly written web applications installed by
customers.  This includes fault tolerance and identifying
which customer's web application is causing problems.

4.  Mimimize the amount of hand holding or config changes the
apache and tomcat system administrators have to make.

This is written based on my experiences setting up this type
of hosting environment on Sun Solaris hardware.  Some of this
will be specific to Solaris, but in general should work for
almost any flavor of Unix.

Unix accounts and groups


The user "tomcat" was created for running tomcat, it should
be created similar to the "nobody" account used for running
Apache.  The tomcat user is assigned to the group tomcat.
The tomcat user is a member of group "user".

The group "tomcat" was created as the group the user "tomcat"
is assigned to.

Re: Virtual hosts using Apache 2.0.40, Tomcat 4.1.10 and mod_jk2

[Dom]

Hi

I'm having the same trouble using Apache 2.0.40, Tomcat 4.1.10 and mod_jk2
with virtual hosts

It works without problem without v.h., but the only doc I've found about
mod_jk2 doesn't talk about v.h.(
http://www.apache.org/~jfclere/jk2_docs/configweb.html)

Maybe mod_jk2 isn't ready for v.h ?

(I don't have any trouble with the same configuration but mod_jk instead of
mod_jk2)

RE: virtual hosts and apache

[Turner, John]

Hosts are configured in the Host element of server.xml.

For demonstration purposes, the Host element with the name "localhost" in
server.xml is a virtual host.  Copy all of that, and change the "name"
parameter in the Host element to match Apache's VirtualHost.

Re: virtual hosts and apache

[Branko Kannenberg]

Hi there !

I'm sorry, I have no knowledge about the webapp connector.
You could switch to the mod_jk connector, it has advantages like load 
balancing and serving only dynamic content. But you have to compile it for 
yourself to get a version which works which the apache version you have.
The compiling is a bit tricky but can be done. There are numerous mails in 
this list about compiling the connector package. Two very helpful howtos can 
be found at
http://www.pubbitch.org/jboss/mod_jk2.html
and
http://www.johnturner.com/howto/apache-tomcat-howto.html

Ciao,   Branko.

Re: virtual hosts and apache

[Branko Kannenberg]

Hi there !

Which connectro are you using? If it's mod_jk, you can use the autoconf 
feature, so you don't have to worry about the virtual host configuration in 
httpd.conf.

Just add

Include /conf/auto/mod_jk.conf

to httpd.conf and something like

  

to the "Server" section of your server.xml file and something like

 

to the "Host" section of your server.xml file

You probably have to adjust the parameters for the "Listener" directive, for a 
description of the parameters have a look at

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/mod_jk-howto.html

It's for tomcat 3.3, but I am using 4.0.4 and it's still useful.

Now, everytime you start tomcat, the file
/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf
will be created and includes the neccessary configuration for apache

Ciao,   Branko.

RE: Virtual Hosts Question

[Mark_DiBattista]

Ahh, that looks like what I may have to do.  Thank you both for your help.

Since I've got your attention, I've just got one more question.  The reason
I'm setting up two different versions of Tomcat on my machines, wasn't by
choice.  We were actually running everything on Tomcat3.2.1 and it was
working fine.  But in order to stay current, we as a group decided to
upgrade to Tomcat4.0.3 and Apache 1.3.26.  All of our apps made the switch
no problem, except for two of them.  For some reason the JSP's would load.
The applications setup was exactly the same as what we did with 3.2.1 but
for some reason the JSP's wouldn't load with 4.0.3, and no errors were
being thrown in the error logs.  I tried again with another copy of 4.0.3
and tried with 4.0.1 and still the same results.

Have you guys ever heard of such a thing?  One of the pages that didn't
load, this was all we had on the JSP


View/Edit Records
<%@ include file="include/login.jsp" %>



<% request.getRequestDispatcher("servlet/dataedit?" +
com.mapinfo.jsptags.TagBean.PARAMETER_KEY_NAME + "=" +
com.mapinfo.dataedit.DownloadOracleTableBean.PARAMETER_KEY).include(request,

response); %>




Thanks again.
Mark

Hi,

I'm trying to run 2 different versions of Tomcat (3.2.1 and 4.0.3) through
1 Apache (1.3.26).  I haven't had much luck running the two modules
ApacheModuleJServ and Mod_jk together through Apache with Include
statements, actually I'm not even sure if it's possible...?


Now I'm going to try setting up a Virtual server on 8080, I'm thinking that
the main server on 80 will handle one include statement for Tomcat3.2.1 and
the Virtual server on 8080 will handle the include statement for
Tomcat4.0.3...Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks for any feedback or any other possible alternatives to setting up 2
Tomcat Versions on 1 Apache.
