hi list, i have a problem. i have apache 2.0 + tomcat 5.5.
i have N name based virtual hosts on the same machine managed by apache; some
of them need to use tomcat (have jsp pages and servlets...)
if i set a server.xml of tomcat with several hosts, and every host has ist
context --> it's ok ( but tomcat documentation says "Please note that for
tomcat 5, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements
directly in the server.xml file")
if i try to move the context informations in a .xml file in a
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory, tomcat cannot serve
anything (it acts as he cannot find files in docBase);
- which is the right configuration ?
- is it necessary to define different host in server.xml ?(--> so, when i add a
new host i need to restart apache and tomcat...)
thanks in advance
here is the configuration that works..
HTTPD.CONF
....
Include /var/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/conf/mod_jk.conf
MOD_JK.CONF
.....
NameVirtualHost xx.yy.zz.kk:80
<VirtualHost xx.yy.zz.kk:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName web.ccc.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost xx.yy.zz.kk:80>
<Directory "/var/www/html/aaa" >
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.jsp
</Directory>
ServerName www.aaa.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/aaa
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost xx.yy.zz.kk:80>
<Directory "/var/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/bbb" >
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html
</Directory>
ServerName www.bbb.com
DocumentRoot /var/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/bbb
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
</VirtualHost>
SERVER.XML
....
<Host name="www.aaa.com">
<Context path=""
docBase="/var/www/html/aaa"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
</Host>
<Host name="www.bbb.com">
<Context path=""
docBase="/var/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/bbb"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
</Host>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This for example, don't work
setting :
SERVER.XML
....
<Host name="www.aaa.com">
appBase = /var/www/html/aaa (or similar... )
</Host>
<Host name="www.bbb.com">
</Host>
the file : $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/www.aaa.com/aaa.xml
<Context path=""
docBase="/var/www/html/aaa"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
