A simple answer to your question is to create additional <Host> entries
to your Tomcat server.xml file. While I know that there are some on this
list who disagree with this method, I personally find that configuring
hosts and contexts in the server.xml file very simple as it makes adding
new hosts to Tomcat similar to adding new hosts in Apache.
For example, you can add the following to your server.xml file:
<Host name="[ENTER DOMAIN NAME]" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="[ENTER SYSTEM PATH]" />
<Alias>[ENTER ALTERNATE DOMAINS]</Alias>
</Host>
or... more specifically:
<Host name="ourserver.com" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="C:\website1\" />
<Alias>www.ourserver.com</Alias>
</Host>
And Tomcat will now know how to resolve each domain to it's own
directory rather then inside the ROOT webapp.
There are other ways to configure contexts, which I'm sure folks will
post about subsequently, but I've found this works quite well and
whether it's the "proper" way to do it or not, it will solve your problem.

Hi,
We are trying to setup a webserver that will serve multiple aspx (..Net)
websites
and and jsp (Java) websites.
The webserver is a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit machine with IIS7.
I have also installed Tomcat 6.0.30 running as a service. The sample web
application works with no problem on http://localhost:8080
Multiple IP addresses have been created on the webserver, so that each IP
address will be used for one website.
All websites should be running on port 80, regardless if aspx website or jsp
website.
I believe to achieve this, we need to use the Tomcat connector for IIS, so that
IIS will take the request and forward to Tomcat to server jsp pages.
I have gone through
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html
and http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=72
and successfully got IIS7 to pass request to Tomcat and served the sample jsp
pages on port 80.
Then I'm stuck...
It seems like the Tomcat service only serves applications from one location
($CATALINA_HOME)
But we don't want to run the website as
www.ourserver.com/website1
www.ourserver.com/website2
Instead, we need to run them as
www.website1.com
www.website2.com
which is why we have created multiple IP addresses on the server.
And the jsp websites will sit in seperate physical folders on the server, for
example:
C:\website1\
C:\website2\
I've tried to play around with workers.properties, uriworkermap.properties, but
without success.
I think there's something to do with $CATALINA_BASE that I need to configure,
but I don't know how.
So now I beg to know exactly what and how to configure for both jsp websites to
be served by the Tomcat service, receiving request from IIS7.
If you can give as much detail as possible or point me to any websites that have
detailed information on this matter, I am forever greatful.
Regards and thanks
Conway
