server.xml silly question

[Kevin Andryc <ka...@miser.umass.edu>]

I am migrating from Tomcat 3.x to Tomcat 4.x and I have directories in
different locations on the server. My question is, how do I configure
server.xml so that I can add these directories. In server.xml, it has
something like this:

<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
...
...
</Host>

Can I define another "localhost" but with a different "appBase" to point to
my other directories? Something like:

<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="/opt/dir1" unpackWARs="true">
...
...
</Host>

Thanks,
Kevin

Yes -- the value for appBase (on <Host>) or docBase (on <Context>) can be
absolute or relative.

You'll find a lot more information about configuration if you take a look
at the docs -- they are included in the Tomcat release
(http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/), or online:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/
  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/

The server configuration guide has detailed info about all the possible
settings.
