You are right, the set-up I've mentioned only works for one application. Perhaps you want to configure multiple virtual hosts.
There's an example on that here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Guide+to+using+Apache+Tomcat's+Virtual+Hosts You won't need Apache HTTP connector, just Tomcat is fine I think (not sure). On MS Windows , configure the hosts in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts , by adding this line: 127.0.0.1 pebble practice Then configure these two apps in server.xml , as: <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="pebble"> <Host name="pebble" appBase="webapps/pebble"> <Context path="" docBase="C:/dev/projects/pebble" reloadable="true" /> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"/> </Host> <Host name="practice" appBase="webapps/practice"> <Context path="" docBase="C:/dev/projects/practice" reloadable="true" /> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"/> </Host> </Engine> Then you'll be able to call 2 different applications on the root context , for example http://pebble:8080/ and http://practice:8080/ , you might be able to do something similiar on Unix, and also might be able to change the port to 80 , from 8080. I give credit to Hassan for explaining the above configuration to me a few months ago. Over here http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Guide+to+using+Apache+Tomcat's+Virtual+Hosts it also says because the above configuration uses name-based virtual hosting, you need to have entries in your DNS server for "app1" and "app2" that point to the application server -Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: John Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 7:41:40 PM Subject: Re: How does one configure Plain host domain url to run web app? Thank you for replying.. This is one webapp among many on this server.. So if I understand you correctly this will not be possible.. If I have miss understood.. could you clarify..?? John..
