basic 2 virtual hosts configuration
to deploy 2 virtual hosts in Tomcat 5.5.29 (no Apache) what more than
the server.xml file below and a context.xml per each host in Catalina do
you need to set up?
Where do I set path, like for "/"? Alright in the context file (see below)?
server.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<GlobalNamingResources>
<!-- Used by Manager webapp -->
<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
</GlobalNamingResources>
<Service name="Catalina">
<Connector port="80" />
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="kron">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase" />
<Host name="medpsy" appBase="/home/webbplatser/medpsy.no" />
<Host name="kron" appBase="/home/webbplatser/kron.no" />
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
Fragment context settings in /Catalina/kron/ROOT.xml (similar for the
other site:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context
docBase="/home/webbplatser/kron.no/ROOT"
path="/"
reloadable="true"
workDir="work/Catalina/kron/_">
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.TldConfig"/>
</Context>:
This set up doesn't serve a pages physically put in any of the ROOT
folders of the sites. I get blank pages.
GUIDES?
Anyone that can point to a guide that focuses only on the steps
necessary to configure Tomcat 5.5.x for 2 or more virtual hosts?
Preferably without involvement with Apache.

Nothing, but you must do it correctly.

You don't set the path attribute - in almost all cases it is illegal (and "/" is never correct, under any circumstances - read the doc).

The above looks ok.

Take out the docBase and path attributes; they're not allowed here. The path is derived from the name of the .xml file, and the webapp is located in the <Host> appBase, so docBase must not be used.
> workDir="work/Catalina/kron/_">
Remove the workDir attribute, since you've done nothing but specify the default.
> <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.TldConfig"/>
Why have you declared the above? Where in the doc does it say you should do that?
> GUIDES?
It's all in the docs:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Don't forget to look in the Tomcat logs for deployment problems.

I'm sorry Hassan, but I don't have time with a meta-debate right now.
That the how-to didn't work out for me is proof enough a more useful one
can be written. Maybe not a perfect one, but a more useful one for
people in my situation.

Eh, stuff that doesn't have to be "extracted" in order to be useful.
Generalization is useful, but a minimal ampount of specifics are more
useful. I have to get back to you on the specifics. I have work to do
right now.
I'm thankful for the help received so far here, so I'll try and give
back when I have the opportunity.

You keep saying that, without detail. What is "not real world" about
the content of the how-to? It is, after all, intended to be a minimalist
description, and it certainly works if followed.
What additional *specific* "real world" information would you include?

And? The how-to not very real world for people in my situation and
doesn't contain all the relevant info in one page. That's what I intend
to write when I get my head around it all. Unless I find a link to an
existing article.
The Wiki link from Mark Eggers was nice and very useful, except I'd like
to see a production server article instead. That and O'reilly's "Tomcat,
The definitive guide" (of 2008) have gotten me closer to a real
solution. At least my hosts work now.
Now, if I only could make Netbeans 6.8 (PPC OS X 10.5) to run my local
5.5.29 as nice as the built-in 6. It keeps complaining about stuff even
as I have chmod'ed it correctly.
>-- what
>exactly about it did you find difficult or confusing to follow?
Too little real world, simple examples are only so good. There seem to
be only one good way to use the fragment Context file, so why waste time
on the others first? They could be listed further down.
Real world examples for development and production server setting would
be way better.
Unless I find something I will write it later.

That's what that virtual hosting how-to is *intended* to provide -- what

Tomcat did what? Inserted a <Listener> element inside one of your <Context>s? Please describe precisely how Tomcat did that.
Note that the TldConfig class doesn't implement the necessary interfaces so it can never be a valid subject of a <Listener> element.

You're right of course.
I meant you don't copy over the manager web application separately from the ROOT. It's in $CATALINA_HOME/server/webapps/manager and the manager.xml file in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/<host> has a docBase attribute.

Re: basic 2 virtual hosts configuration
Posted by Mark Eggers <it...@yahoo.com>.
MB,
You can follow the instructions given for Tomcat 6 on this wiki page:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts
The only difference is that the Manager application for Tomcat 5.5.29 is contained in the ROOT application. This means that you will skip the following step.
3. Copy the manager application from $CATALINA_HOME/webapps to each of the
virtual host webapp directories
1. For virtual host foo, this means copying manager to
hosts/foo-host/webapps (full path depends on actual location to
match the server.xml entry)
2. For virtual host bar, this means copying manager to
hosts/bar-host/webapps (full path depends on actual location
to match the server.xml entry)
I just tested this on my 5.5.29 installation on Fedora 13 (Java 6.0.20). Works as advertised.
just my two cents . . .

This seems to be vital info I'll try and incorporate. Time for testing!

Actually Tomcat did that.
Thanks for your response, Charles. Very helpful.

Thanks for your response, Hassan. Perhaps I should have been more clear
what I had done already.
I've read that page, took my time, cleaned out my old install,
reinstalled 5.5.28, updated and installed 5.5.29. I also have 3 books
about Tomcat with similar instructions. Information about Tomcat often
seem to me to be incomplete, not entirely relevant to what I want to set
up - multiple hosts, standalone and so on - or is often way too detailed
or just not based around real world examples, which makes it difficult
to extract info.
I have succeeded many times before setting up server with Tomcat 4. In
contrast configuring Apache2 - with vhosts anyway - is a piece of cake
to setup. Not the same cup of tea, but nevertheless.
I really want to understand Tomcat in this regard as it's very
difficult to run a java-based server unless you have a virtual server
and this means - for me anyway - I have to set it up and administrate
it as there's no budget and no people I know that I can ask as of now.
In return for any help I receive, I'll write a guide for mere mortals,
put it on the web and make it known here, so no pesky newbies have to
ask about this more than necessarily.
This setup is so basic it should just work. Folding up my sleeves.....

In the documentation?
