How to change hostname in tomcat configuration
Hi,
I'm trying to change hostname on the tomcat server from localhost to my
server name. After I change it in server.xml, I'm able to go to
http://servername:8080 url, but I'm not able to go to
http://servername:8080/admin . It gives me error.
Aprreciate any help regarding this.
Thank you
Mandar Vaidya

Instead of changing the name attribute of your Host element from
"localhost" to "servername", you can also simply nest an Alias element
into the Host element:
<Host name="localhost" ...>
...
<Alias>servername</Alias>
...
</Host>
However, if you prefer to change the name attribute rather than to add an
alias, make sure to customize the defaultHost attribute of your Engine
element if you only have one Host element inside:
"The default host name, which identifies the Host that will process
requests directed to host names on this server, but which are not
configured in this configuration file. This name MUST match the name
attributes of one of the Host elements nested immediately inside."
!
Best wishes
Lutz

You can drop the <Alias>...</Alias> line in your installtion.
$host should be replaced by smpdev.mwhglobal.com
then your directory
webapps/smpdev.mwhglobal.com
should contain an unpacked copy of the site you're working with, including
your web.xml configuration file.
You need to create the configuration file in
conf/Catalina/smpdev.mwhglobal.com/ROOT.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context displayName="smpdev.mwhglobal.com" docBase="" path=""
workDir="work/Catalina/smpdev.mwhglobal.com/_">
</Context>
A caveat though is I haven't tested the instructions on Windows so you may
need to modify various things to make it go.
Yours,
Pete Stevens

Virtual Hosts - additional info needed
Posted by Matthew P Puccio <Ma...@us.mwhglobal.com>.
I'm running Tomcat 5.5.9 on a Windows2000 server. I am not running Apache
and for various reasons won't be installing it. I'm not a Tomcat
administrator so I may sound a bit clueless.
I have tried to follow the instructions on
http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pete/tomcat-vhost.html but am confused or don't
understand.
Here's the setup that I want:
- I have the domain "smpdev.mwhglobal.com" that points at my Tomcat
server's IP address.
- My files are in /Tomcat5.5/SMP/
- I have a Default.jsp page in /Tomcat5.5/SMP/jsp/Default.jsp. There is an
entry in web.xml for this app for the Welcome file.
- I have a folder /Tomcat5.5/conf/Catalina/SMP with SMP.xml. That file
contains <Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="SMP"> and my database
connection info.
- I've tried adding a new <Host> entry in server.xml, based on the info on
the ex-parrot page (linked above):
<Host name="$host" debug="0" appBase="webapps/$host"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Alias>$alias</Alias>
</Host>
What I don't know is what "$host" should be or "$alias" in the server.xml
file.
I also don't know if some of my folders should actually be called
"smpdev.mwhglobal.com" instead of "SMP".
If I hit http://smpdev.mwhglobal.com/SMP/jsp/Default.jsp I can access the
application. However, I want http://smpdev.mwhglobal.com to go directly to
this page.
BTW, this is all inside our network so you won't be able to hit the
server.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
