Summary: my virtual tomcat hosts are not coming up after a tomcat
restart, but they do come up once I remove /ROOT. 'start' via the
manager does not suffice.
Details:
I have several virtual hosts under both tomcat 6.0.14 and apache, linked
via mod_jk. The virtual tomcat hosts are located under
webapps/vhost1 (etc)
with appropriate <Host> entry in conf/server.xml. I know the setup is
valid since I will get the expected contents from
webapp/vhost1/ROOT/index.jsp when I hit http://vhost1.com/.
Each virtual host has its own copy of manager so I can control the vhost
at http://vhost1.com/manager/html. Most importantly, I can deploy new
war files via this interface. The upload war files are exploded, as
expected.
The problem occurs when I cycle the tomcat server for some reason, e.g.,
when defining a new virtual host or after a system reboot. The logs say
the error is an IllegalArgumentException: "Document base /vhost1 does
not exist or is not a readable directory". In fact the file does exist,
is readable, etc.
If I manually nuke the directory then the watcher will explode the war
file and the application will start as expected.
Any ideas? I suspect I've just overlooked something in the config files.
BTW I want to keep separate vhost directories since this is a shared
j2ee appserver. I trust my colleagues but we need to be able to assure
our respective clients that we've taken all reasonable and prudent steps
to keep our webapps isolated.
Thanks,
Bear
