This is my 4th day trying to setup virtual hosting on Linux-Debian; even trying Tomcat6 after failing on Tomcat7.
Yes I have read everything that I can find in Tomcat documentation - including the obtuse: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html what I found on this forum for March: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/ as well as all as many, many well intended explanations located on the Web. Please acknowledge my stupidity, but help anyway. This is long indeed. On purpose. I believe we need a detailed description how to do it correct. Note, I do NOT use WAR-file deployment. [It is not clear to me whether that is relevant ...] I test using a windows XP box which allows to create a bogus domain in the file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts It has the line: 206.41.127.116 www.testzzz.com Using a browser (on that box) to access that bogus domain www.testzzz.com "works" but gives an unexpected response: Index of / [ICO] Name Last modified Size Description Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Server at www.testzzz.com Port 80 The site, apparently, was able to get to the right place, but ... I expected to access an index.html file under a ROOT directory, see below. Here the testzzz directory structure: /home/ddc/test /home/ddc/test/ROOT /home/ddc/test/host-manager /home/ddc/test/manager /home/ddc/test/ROOT/index.html /home/ddc/test/ROOT/WEB-INF /home/ddc/test/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml No, there are no errors in catalina.out. That log does have a line showing that ROOT.xml is activated: INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor ROOT.xml I do NOT see deployment of www.testzzz.com. Under webapps/ I see auto generated directories for: ROOT, docs, examples, host-manager, manager In logs, I see empty logs for: manager host-manager localhost testzzz access log I expected that the testzzz log would grow. Here is what I have in server.xml (pruned): <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="www.testzzz.com"> <Host name="www.testzzz.com" appBase="/home/ddc/test" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> </Host> Under .../Catalina: www.testzzz.com www.testzzz.com/ROOT.xml www.testzzz.com/manager.xml www.testzzz.com/host-manager.xml Inside ROOT.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context path="" reloadable="false" crossContext="false"> </Context> Now what? And what would be the layout for a 2nd virtual host?
