MB, You can follow the instructions given for Tomcat 6 on this wiki page:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts The only difference is that the Manager application for Tomcat 5.5.29 is contained in the ROOT application. This means that you will skip the following step. 3. Copy the manager application from $CATALINA_HOME/webapps to each of the virtual host webapp directories 1. For virtual host foo, this means copying manager to hosts/foo-host/webapps (full path depends on actual location to match the server.xml entry) 2. For virtual host bar, this means copying manager to hosts/bar-host/webapps (full path depends on actual location to match the server.xml entry) I just tested this on my 5.5.29 installation on Fedora 13 (Java 6.0.20). Works as advertised. just my two cents . . . /mde/ --- On Tue, 6/15/10, MB <digital.disc...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: MB <digital.disc...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration > To: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Date: Tuesday, June 15, 2010, 10:21 PM > Caldarale, Charles R said: > > >Nothing, but you must do it correctly. > Yes, I figured that much. :) > > >You don't set the path attribute - in almost all cases > it is illegal > >(and "/" is never correct, under any circumstances - > read the doc). > Interesting.
