virtual host names

Hello,

I'm working with Tomcat 5.0 in a stock (out-of-the-box) configuration.

I can access the webserver using a URL based on the real (actual) hostname,
but if I use an alias (virtual host), I get the message: "connection refused
when attempting to contact...". I know there is nothing wrong per-se with the
alias itself, because I can access other web applications (in other app
servers) on that same host using the alias.

What do I change in the configuration to enable virtual hostnames in accessing
URLs?

thanks for any info.

joe

Re: virtual host names

Posted by Parsons Technical Services <pa...@earthlink.net>.
Do you want an alias (two domain names pointing to the same app) or a 
virtual host (separate apps each with is own domain name hosted on the same 
server and IP)?

Alias:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html#Host%20Name%20Aliases

Virtual Host:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/defaultcontext.html
