Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration
MB, You can follow the instructions given for Tomcat 6 on this wiki page: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts The only difference is that the Manager application for Tomcat 5.5.29 is contained in the ROOT application. This means that you will skip the following step. 3. Copy the manager application from $CATALINA_HOME/webapps to each of the virtual host webapp directories 1. For virtual host foo, this means copying manager to hosts/foo-host/webapps (full path depends on actual location to match the server.xml entry) 2. For virtual host bar, this means copying manager to hosts/bar-host/webapps (full path depends on actual location to match the server.xml entry) I just tested this on my 5.5.29 installation on Fedora 13 (Java 6.0.20). Works as advertised. just my two cents . . . /mde/ --- On Tue, 6/15/10, MB digital.disc...@gmail.com wrote: From: MB digital.disc...@gmail.com Subject: Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Date: Tuesday, June 15, 2010, 10:21 PM Caldarale, Charles R said: Nothing, but you must do it correctly.

Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration
You're right of course. I meant you don't copy over the manager web application separately from the ROOT. It's in $CATALINA_HOME/server/webapps/manager and the manager.xml file in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/host has a docBase attribute. /mde/ --- On Wed, 6/16/10, Pid p...@pidster.com wrote: From: Pid p...@pidster.com Subject: Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Date: Wednesday, June 16, 2010, 2:58 AM On 16/06/2010 08:12, Mark Eggers wrote: MB, You can follow the instructions given for Tomcat 6 on this wiki page: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts The only difference is that the Manager application for Tomcat 5.5.29 is contained in the ROOT application.

That and O'reilly's Tomcat, The definitive guide (of 2008) have gotten me closer to a real solution. At least my hosts work now.
