Tomcat 8 - server.xml Not Updating

Hi --

I have just installed Tomcat 8 on Windows 2008 R2. I go into the host 
manager and add two virtual hosts. However, the server.xml file does not 
get updated. When I restart the Tomcat service the two virtual hosts no 
longer appear in the host manager web UI.

Additionally, if I manually add hosts to the server.xml file they do not 
appear either.

It appears as though Tomcat is neither reading nor writing to this file, 
however, when I tried renaming it Tomcat - as expected - would not 
start.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Can anyone offer a solution?

Thanks

Rich

As expected.

Improvements to the proposed patch welcome.

Then you are doing something wrong. Did you update DNS as well?

Hi, Richard 

I got issue on tomcat virtual hosting too, but not same issue with you, I tried the hosting manager too, I suppose it just a view tool!

If we want to build virtual hosting , have to edit that server.xml, I guess.
