Multiple URLs/Single IP
How can I map multiple URLs, e.g. www.aa.com and www.bb.com, which are
pointed to a single IP address, e.g. 210.34.247.21, to multiple web
applications, e.g. webapps/aa and webapps/bb? Many thanks for any help. I
have had a solution offered with a Layer-7 Switch and a squid proxy, but I
would prefer either Apache or Tomcat solutions by far. I see nothing in
the documentation or in the lists. I know how to do this with a context
manager for JBoss and Tomcat 3.2.4, but I am moving to SOAP as my solution
of choice with the Struts package. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks, gents and ladies.

Well, I assumed it was good, and even if not, that you were meaning good.
So, no problem, my friend! ;-)

Hope I didn't give you bad advice. The 'ten times' thingy sounds really

Thank you, Bojan. I am going to try that, and will try to figure out a
favor for you if it works. My father told me to always pay back ten times:
ten times more for a good turn, and ten times more for a bad. Micael

Now you have me totally confused :-( I'll tell you what I know, and if
that helps you, good. If not, please disregard.
The fact that www.aa.com and www.bb.com have the same IP address makes
them name based virtual hosts. So, you're telling your TC 3.3.x to be
ready to handle things for both www.aa.com and www.bb.com by creating
virtual hosts withing it. If you have Tomcat running on the same box, it
would usually be connected to Apache via mod_jk and listen to address
127.0.0.1 only. So, I'm not certain how the 'one IP' address plays here
at all...
Inside each virtual host, you define applications (contexts). So, you
can have webapps/aa for www.aa.com and webapps/bb for www.bb.com.
That's at least how I run my machines.

I am not trying to make www.aa.com into xx.aa.com and yy.aa.com but rather

I am not trying to make a number of aliases from one host but use many
hosts to one app each for one IP.

Re: Multiple URLs/Single IP

I think you should have a look into Tomcat User's guide, "Configuring Virtual
Hosting" section, as it explains how this is done. I'm not 100% any more if
virtual hosting has been improved in any way in the 3.2.x series over what't
described in the manual, but I can tell you for sure that 3.3.x series has
excellent virtual hosting support (i.e. I recommend it). The preferred way is to
have separate configuration files for different vitual hosts/applications.
For instance, this file (which has to be named apps-*.xml)
----------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Server>
<Host name="www.somehost.domain" >
<Context path="/" docBase="/var/www/html/somehost.domain" />
</Host>
</Server>
----------------------------------------------
configures one such virual host/application pair in Tomcat 3.3.x. One can,
obviously, configure more then one context.
Your Apache configuration would have to match. For instance:
----------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
# General setup for the virtual host
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/somehost.domain"
ServerName www.somehost.domain
ServerAdmin webmaster@somehost.domain
</VirtualHost>
----------------------------------------------
This is, of course, if you mix static files with Tomcat files (I use Velocity
templates, which I also recommend :-) in the same directory. Otherwise, they can
be located in totally different places.

The underlying VirtualHost entries can then Include the directives to the
Tomcat instance that handles that vhost. If you want one Tomcat, then you
can use mod_rewrite (within the VirtualHost) to direct to the correct
Context.

Thanks, Bill. However, I looked at the documentation. What makes you
think that solves this problem? I am not saying you are wrong, but I don't
