I can only access servelets by IP address outside of webapps.

[Chuck Cochems <za...@tdl.com>]

I'm using mod_Jk with the latest apache and tomcat 3.2.2

Whenever I add a virtualhost, I can only reference the JSP by IP
address. if I try by th domain name, I get the dreaded error 404
(/jsp/page.jsp + NULL ) stuff. I've triple checked DNS, and tried
placing entries for the domains as well as the IP address itself into
server.xml

if there is one for the IP address, then the IP address works.  If not,
it doesn't.

I've tried placing ones in for the domain names themselves, and it still
will not work!  Whehter or not i use the IP address or the domain name
in the <Virtualhost> directive, it still hapens!  what gives?

They've been changed about TEN TIMES.  All have the same result.


My most recent attempt had this in server.xml

<Host name="206.180.224.76 : www.pedsforless.com : pedsforless.com"
debug="0"
appBase="/home/peds/public_html" unpackWARs="true">
        <Context path="" docBase="/home/peds/public_html" debug="0"/>
      </Host>

And this in httpd.conf,

Include /usr/local/jakarta/dist/tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto

<Virtualhost 206.180.224.76:80>
SSLDisable
ServerAdmin don@tdl.com
ServerName www.pedsforless.com
ServerAlias pedsforless.com
DocumentRoot /home/peds/public_html
ErrorLog /home/peds/logs/error.log
TransferLog /home/peds/logs/error.log
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
</Virtualhost>


Only the IP address works. All attempts to access JSP by the domain name
itself, with or without the www, produce the infamous error 404 jsp not
found error, and the blahblah.jsp + NULL busines in the tomcat STDERR
output.

SO what's wrong here?

Chuck,

post the relevant bits of your httpd.conf and server.xml and we'll have a 
look.

cheers

Hm. no one sems to have noticed my question. :(  if this is a FAQ< I
apologise, but i searched through the documentation, and it was no help.
No matter what I do, only the IP adress seems to contact the servlets. 
I copied the entire samples directory to the virtual for testing.  Is
this the problem?
