I was also getting the same problem as described by Charles and Ganesh -
the same web-app was being deployed twice.
I did the following steps to stop this from happening -
1. I removed the default host from server.xml by removing the following
lines
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
2. I moved the WAR file from the default location in tomcat ("webapps"
folder) to a different location; and added the WAR file explicitly in
server.xml.
<Host name="www.xyz.com"
appBase="/opt/servers/tomcat5.5/webappsPublic"
unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false"
xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false"
debug="0"
reloable="false">
<Alias>
www.xyz.com
</Alias>
<Context path=""
docBase="magnoliaPublic"
reloadable="false"
swallowOutput="false"
debug="0"
/>
</Host>
<Host name="author.xyz.com"
appBase="/opt/servers/tomcat5.5/webappsAuthor"
unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false"
xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false"
debug="0"
reloable="false">
<Alias>
author.xyz.com
</Alias>
<Context path=""
docBase="magnoliaAuthor"
reloadable="false"
swallowOutput="false"
debug="0"
/>
</Host>
By doing the above-mentioned steps, I was able to get rid of the problem
caused by twice deployment and I was also able to have author and public
on the same machine.
Let me know if you need any further details.
Cheers!
