Virtual Hosting of Mutliple Domains

[Alan Hancock <su...@gmail.com>]

I added a host entry in the format of www.mydomain.com. Its a very simple
site with only an index.html so that I can get the config straight before
loading a bunch of content. There is no domain specific context given. I
created a folder in the format mydomain.com is the
/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps directory and the index file is the only file in
the folder domain.com.

I used the tomcat manager to deploy the 'app'. When I access the site from
the link in the tomcat manager, the page is displayed as expected. when I
try to access it using the domain name on the local server, get a blank
screen. When I try to bring the page up from another computer, I get HTTP
400 - Bad Request

Any ideas? This seems simple enough, but I obviously missed a step
somewhere. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone that has had
similar issues and got it resolved. I need to get this going so that I can
move on to developing the sites. I need to deploy at least 3 domains on the
server.

I'm certain this is some simple embarrassing oversight of mine.

I'm running Tomcat 5.5.3 on Red Hat EL 5.1

1) If you're really running that old of a Tomcat version, you need to move up, ASAP.  5.5.3 is almost four years old, and many bugs have been fixed between then and the current 5.5.26.

2) If this is a 3rd-party repackaged version of Tomcat, throw it away and install a real one from tomcat.apache.org.  The 3rd-party ones provide no end of grief when doing anything other than the most basic operations.

3) Consult the Tomcat virtual hosting doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
If that doesn't solve your problem, post your server.xml for people to look at.

For 6.0.x but it is basically the same in 5.5.x
