Yep, you need another instance of Tomcat. Conceptually, it's very simple: 1. Create a new directory which will hold your new instance. This ~ is called CATALINA_BASE, and you'll need to set this environment ~ variable accordingly. ~ This directory should contain the following directories: ~ conf/ ~ logs/ (optional, if you have no logging going here) ~ temp/ (optional, as TC should create this) ~ webapps/ (optional, if you have no auto-deployed webapps) ~ work/ (optional, as TC should create this) ~ The conf directory needs server.xml and web.xml. Make sure ~ that your <Connector>s in server.xml have unique port numbers ~ (i.e. default HTTP port is 8080, so check that, and the default ~ AJP port is 8009, so check that, too... these must be unique ~ across all TC instances). ~ Stick your webapps in 'webapps', obviously, unless you are ~ going to be declaring separate XML deployment descriptors ~ (ignore this if you have no idea what I'm talking about). 2. Run CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh with the correct CATALINA_BASE ~ environment variable set. Note that CATALINA_HOME points to ~ the /actual/ TC install -- where the bin directory is -- and ~ CATALINA_BASE points to your "instance" as defined above. | tomcat-instance 1: port 8001 webapps-folder: /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps | tomcat-instance 2: port 8002 webapps-folder: /home/tomcat/webapps No problem: $ export CATALINA_BASE=/home/tomcat $ /var/lib/tomcat5.5/bin/startup.sh Just make sure that /home/tomcat is set up as indicated above. | Also, I would prefer not to touch the debian startup scripts, nor modify any | other distributed files. All config should be done in the tomcat config-files. That's going to be a problem, because I'm sure those scripts assume only a single instance of TC in the "default" location. If you want to start up multiple TC instances, you'll have to either: 1. Copy /etc/init.d/tomcat.sh (or whatever) to /etc/init.d/tomcat2.sh ~ and modify it accordingly (like setting CATALINA_BASE) 2. Write a different /etc/init.d/tomcat.sh script that somehow ~ identifies all TC instances and starts them separately | Can someone explain how to achieve this configuration, or maybe provide | example-files? The documentation is available in the RUNNING.txt file that should be packaged with Tomcat. If you can't find that file, as the Debian folks why they removed it. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhO74oACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAOMgCgteGLh9JSJCYeJ0pmrHIZVa3x jocAni/LufRQ4LXwFp3H9tRGtYmSH4aG =tRmh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
