Re: configuring multiple domain's and forwarding on Tomcat 6
questions.
Scott,
I have my Context config's in the META-INF folder of the first .com's
appBase directory. It's under \appBase\META-INF. Is this wrong?
There is no httpd involved in the system, only Tomcat (and I'm trying to
find the PECL dll's to get PHP to work ;) )
This should be all I have to add correct?
<Host name="www.realissuesforrealpeople.com" appBase="d:/JGSite"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false" />

Then there must be something messed up with my domain and what it is
pointing to. It has a different IP address than my server. I pointed the
IP address of the domain to the static IP address of my server that I am
already running and serving on Tomcat.
Realistically I should be seeing something then, I think I might have to
call the company I got the domain from to get it pointing to the right
server IP.

Probably. In the above, is "appBase" an actual directory name, or is it referring to the value of the appBase attribute of the <Host> element? I suspect it's the latter, in which case your structure should really be this:
D:\JGSite\
ROOT\ (the default webapp for this <Host>)
(first-level .html files, such as index.html)
(other first-level resources)
WEB-INF\
web.xml (containing servlet mappings for your webapp, etc.)
lib\ (containing webapp .jar files)
classes\ (containing webapp classes)
META-INF\
context.xml (containing the <Context> element)
You may deploy additional webapps for the <Host> at the same level as ROOT as either expanded directories or .war files.

You probably don't even have to add that. If you have only one webapp for one domain, you can simply replace the default Tomcat ROOT webapp with your own. If you don't want to disturb the webapps distributed with Tomcat, then an additional <Host> is one way to segregate your webapps from the standard ones. For a production environment, you probably want to remove all of the Tomcat webapps other than manager.
