Excuse me for top-posting but Outlook Express is not letting me intersperse
my reply in your original note correctly....
The answer to your problem *may* be at http://ZoneEdit.com. ZoneEdit is very
useful service that lets you manage DNS issues more easily; it is free if
you have only a small number of sites to manage. If you go to their site,
you should be able to set up a free account for yourself using the
information on the screens provided (follow the "Sign Up" link), then create
DNS entries that map www.mysite.com to mysite.com. I haven't set up an
account in a fair while so my memory is rusty on the details but I seem to
recall finding it fairly simple to create the entries I needed and I am no
DNS guru by any stretch of the imagination!
The reason I said that ZoneEdit *may* solve your problem is the certificate
issue. I don't see anything about certificates in the pages that list the
settings for my domains. You may need to handle the certificate issue
outside of ZoneEdit; I don't know nearly enough about certificates to talk
intelligently about them. You can also email ZoneEdit and ask them
questions; they do tech support by email and respond pretty quickly, usually
within a couple of hours (at least on weekdays). They probably know how
certificates get handled even if they don't manage certificates themselves.

Subject: Please Help Setting Up Site
Hello,
I have been screwing around with a few Tomcat 5.5 problems for some time,
and cannot seem to resolve them, and could use some help.
First off.
1) I have a real web site that needs to be shown to the world. I have
purchased a DNS entry and created the site.
I am running on port 80.
After installing a clean tomcat, I put the folder under webapps. The
folder is the webapp.
I am running a certificate under Catalina in server.xml for this site.
In server.xml I only changed 8080 to 80. And left the host as
"localhost"
Now if someone types in the proper http://www.mysite.com all is good.
PROBLEM: when friends and family type in http://mysite.com (forgetting)
the www, they get to my site, but get the message that the certificate
is wrong. And this makes sense because the certificate is assigned to
www.mysite.com, not mysite.com. Make sense?
How can I get around this problem. It is killing me.
Please if anyone has ideas, let me know.
Do I need to do anything with my dns entry in tomcat?
Also, what is the "admin" module I see and can I install it on a existing
Tomcat 5.5 server?
