Hi Dave,
I added a <Context> element to server.xml, which I understand has the
effect of giving Roller ROOT context. Then restarted Tomcat.
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<!-- Added by me to give Roller ROOT context -->
<Context path="" docBase="roller" debug="0"/>
Now, when you browse to http://www.optomus.com:8080, Roller presents the
default frontpage blog (optomus). Unfortunately, the original problem
persists.
It puzzles me that you have successfully implemented multi-domains. Are
you happy to share with me relevant sections of your configuration files,
in case the problem is with my configuration? Otherwise, I guess it's
time to look at the source code. For this to be fruitful, though, I need
to gain a clearer understanding of what exactly is wrong with the URLs
inside the HTML pages served (all URLs copied below).
Regards,
Chris.
