problem finding css
Hi, I am using Apache 1.3 with tomcat 4.1.24. When I use netscape 7 to run my web application everything works fine. When I use e.g netscape 4 the style sheets can not be found. How do I have to configure Apache/tomcat ? In the html page the source is refered to as: link href=/main.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css Right now I have in http.conf: VirtualHost * DocumentRoot /home/oraedt/app/oracle/product/9iAS_1.0.2.2/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/iprweb ServerName upolu.sps.mot.com JkMount /iprweb/* ajp13 /VirtualHost Alias /html/ /home/minerva/servers/upolu/ipr_files/static_html/ The main.css is installed in /home/minerva/servers/upolu/ipr_files/static_html. Thanks for any hint .. Astrid
RE: problem finding css
I would expect that you have to use link href=/html/main.css ... to get the file. Otherwise the alias directive won't match. -Original Message- From: Astrid Wagner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 12:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: problem finding css link href=/main.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css Alias /html/ /home/minerva/servers/upolu/ipr_files/static_html/ The main.css is installed in /home/minerva/servers/upolu/ipr_files/static_html. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: problem finding css
href=/main.css looks like wrong syntax, either use: href=main.css (if your html files linking to that css file are in the same directory) or: href=/html/main.css (if your html files are somewhere else, you need to specify the URI to the CSS file, i.e. the local part of the URL without the Host- or DNS-name) At 12:34 24.07.2003 +0200, you wrote: Hi, I am using Apache 1.3 with tomcat 4.1.24.

Re: problem finding css
No I forgot to state that http.conf has also: DocumentRoot /home/minerva/servers/upolu//ipr_files/static_html otherwise it wouldn't find it in any case. I assume the main.css is looked up in /home/oraedt/app/oracle/product/9iAS_1.0.2.2/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/iprweb because of my: VirtualHost * DocumentRoot /home/oraedt/app/oracle/product/9iAS_1.0.2.2/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/iprweb ServerName upolu.sps.mot.com JkMount /iprweb/* ajp13 /VirtualHost directive. Somehow new netscape versions seem to go to the next DocumentRoot to find a resource when not found in first because as stated before it works with netscape 7. My problem is therefore: How do I tell Apache to take main.css from the global DocumentRoot in http.conf and only the web application from the one in the VirtualHost directive. Static text as well as web should use the same machine/port number. I guess I have to read about the VirtualHost tag more. Thanks anyway.

RE: problem finding css
Now your are confusing me. This is what I believe to be true: Any request can just be served from one DocumentRoot. Which DocumentRoot is used, is defined by the way you configure apache If the request contains a server name that matches a given virtual host, the setting for this host take precedence. If this virtual host has an own DocumentRoot this is used and nothing else. If the server name can't be matched, the global definitions are used. So to get files from the global DocumentRoot the request has to contain a different servername than upolu.sps.mot.com. What different versions of netscape could do, to produce the behaviour that you describe is unclear to me. Recommended Solution: I think that you don't need the DocumentRoot definition in your virtual host. (Unless you have static files in that directory that should be served through apache). (As I'm currently not using tomcat behind apache I'm not completely shure) -Original Message- From: Astrid Wagner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 1:29 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: problem finding css DocumentRoot /home/minerva/servers/upolu//ipr_files/static_html VirtualHost * DocumentRoot /home/oraedt/app/oracle/product/9iAS_1.0.2.2/jakarta-tomcat-4. 1.24/webapps/iprweb ServerName upolu.sps.mot.com JkMount /iprweb/* ajp13 /VirtualHost Somehow new netscape versions seem to go to the next DocumentRoot to find a resource when not found in first because as stated before it works with netscape 7. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: problem finding css
For my purposes it was wrong to use the VirtualHost directive because my web appl. runs on same host /port. I just left the JkMount directive and it works with old and new netscape version. The mapping to the web appl. doc root is done by workers.properties and server.xml and I thought I have to do this in httpd.conf Thanks.

If the HirtualHost declares a document root, then that overrides the DocumentRoot in the main server config. Apache does not traverse virtualhosts when attempting to fulfill a request. It selects (the most specific) one and uses it. My problem is therefore: How do I tell Apache to take main.css from the global DocumentRoot in http.conf and only the web application from the one in the VirtualHost directive. Static text as well as web should use the same machine/port number. I guess I have to read about the VirtualHost tag more. I'd recommend not using VirtualHost *. Name them explictily (you can use ServerAlias to provide alternate names if needed). If a request does not match any of the virtualhosts listed, the server will use the first one in the list. You can think of that as a default. For serving multiple sites with one server, I'd do one step further; get rid of the document root in the main server config, and use a virtual host for each site. If nothing else, the layout will be clearer, and it will be easier to understand what's going on. If all else fails, there's the quick and dirty solution.
