Too little real world, simple examples are only so good. There seem to be only one good way to use the fragment Context file, so why waste time on the others first? They could be listed further down.

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/ has a docBase attribute. /mde/ --- On Wed, 6/16/10, Pid wrote: > From: Pid > Subject: Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration > To: "Tomcat Users List" > 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. > > Eh?

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 wrote: > From: MB > Subject: Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration > To: "Tomcat Users List" > Date: Tuesday, June 15, 2010, 10:21 PM > Caldarale, Charles R said: > > >Nothing, but you must do it correctly. > Yes, I figured that much. :) > > >You don't set the path attribute - in almost all cases > it is illegal > >(and "/" is never correct, under any circumstances - > read the doc). > Interesting.

Perhaps I should have been more clear what I had done already. I've read that page, took my time, cleaned out my old install, reinstalled 5.5.28, updated and installed 5.5.29. I also have 3 books about Tomcat with similar instructions.

I have succeeded many times before setting up server with Tomcat 4. In contrast configuring Apache2 - with vhosts anyway - is a piece of cake to setup. Not the same cup of tea, but nevertheless. I really want to understand Tomcat in this regard as it's very difficult to run a java-based server unless you have a virtual server and this means - for me anyway - I have to set it up and administrate it as there's no budget and no people I know that I can ask as of now. In return for any help I receive, I'll write a guide for mere mortals, put it on the web and make it known here, so no pesky newbies have to ask about this more than necessarily.

basic 2 virtual hosts configuration
to deploy 2 virtual hosts in Tomcat 5.5.29 (no Apache) what more than the server.xml file below and a context.xml per each host in Catalina do you need to set up? Where do I set path, like for "/"? Alright in the context file (see below)? server.xml: Fragment context settings in /Catalina/kron/ROOT.xml (similar for the other site: : This set up doesn't serve a pages physically put in any of the ROOT folders of the sites. I get blank pages. GUIDES? Anyone that can point to a guide that focuses only on the steps necessary to configure Tomcat 5.5.x for 2 or more virtual hosts?
