    Hi All

     

    I am running a SLES9 box as a web server and need to add virtual hosts to
    the server.xml file on tomcat. There is no apache on the box so it can't be
    done there. What do I need to add and where? There is currently one domain
    running a site on the server at the moment.

     

    Essentially

    Under <host

    name is obviously www.domain1.com <http://www.domain1.com/> and
    www.domain2.com <http://www.domain2.com/> etc.

    I don't know what the appBase is, is it the same for all domains since they
    all stem from webapps

    What is the docBase for the below directories?

    In the below example what is the path="" for and what should it be?

    And can the context path be left blank ""?

     

    The directory which has the sites is setup like this.

    /data01/webapps/domain1 (default domain)

    /data01/webapps/domain2

    /data01/webapps/domain3

    ETC

     

    This is the section from my current server.xml

     

    <!-- Define the default virtual host Note: XML Schema validation will not
    work with Xerces 2.2.

           -->

          <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps"

           unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"

           xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

     

    I have found this example but can't seem to get it to work.

     

        <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0">

          <!-- This Host is the default Host -->

          <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps"

                      unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

            <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>

            <Context path="/orders" docBase="/home/ian/orders" debug="0"

                           reloadable="true" crossContext="true">

            </Context>

          </Host>

     

        <!-- This Host is the first "Virtual Host": www.domain1.com -->

          <Host name="www.domain1.com" appBase="/home/example/webapp">

          <Context path="" docBase="."/>

          </Host>
