How to have multiple domains/contexts with Tomcat ? they all go to same context ..
Hi.
This is a simple question (i think)
After playing with server,xml (and various other .xml files) I am unable to
work out how to host multiple domains on a Tomcat 6 (standalone) server
(running on port 80) ..
I have read -
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
I.e - I have uploaded 2 contexts
/mrpink
/mrblue
- mrpink was uploaded first (as root context).
- I have 2 domains
www.mrpink.com
www.mrblue.com
- both domains point to the same ip (tomcat server)
- however when visiting both sites they go to the ROOT context.
- I want www.mrpink.com to go to www.mrpink.com/mrpink and
www.mrblue.comto go to
www.mrblue.com/mrblue
- how is this possible ?
Please note : that both contexts are fine when you put the URL in (i.e
www.mrpink.com/mrpink) - I just want Tomcat to understand when you visit
www.mrpink.com to automatically goes to www.mrpink.com/mrpink
I have tried editing server.xml (as shown in above link)
also tried using the tomcat host-manager - every time I try to use this I
get file/folder not found when visiting the page - i.e the host-manager
seems to work fine but visiting the page after adding a virtual host i get a
blank page (in firefox) - file/folder not found in konqueror ....
Here is an example I tried - to get www.mrblue.com to point to
www.mrblue.com/mrblue using the host-manager....
- First I uploaded the mrblue tomcat application using the tomcat manager..
Using host-manager ... www.mrpink.com/host-manager/html
name : mrblue.com
alias : www.mrblue.com
app base : /opt/tomcat/webapps/mrblue/
The webapp is located in - /opt/tomcat/webapps/mrblue/
I understand I can do what I want using mod_jk - however it seems crazy
using apache when I do not really need to ...
Can anyone help - its slowly driving me mad..............
Cheers

Rename $CATALINA_BASE\webapps-blue\mrblue ro $CATALINA_BASE\webapps-blue\ROOT
Note that each virtual host must have its own appBase.

Thanks everybody for your input.
I'll try to deploy the manager for each host as suggested.
Cheers everybody.

Once the <Host> elements are set up, you shouldn't have to do any more editing of server.xml - just deploy the default webapp as ROOT under each <Host>. However, you will have to deploy the manager app for each <Host>, since each instance is tied to a given <Host> (at least it was last time I tried).
The easiest way to do that is just copy the manager directory to each of your <Host>'s appBase directories. You can also do it by putting a <Context> element for each manager in conf/Catalina/[host]/manager.xml, but all that does is save a minimal amount of disk space.

You'll need to configure the manager webapp for each virtual host. See the
end of http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
Once you have done that, if you upload a file called ROOT.war it will be
treated as the ROOT application.

Hi André - between yours and Mark's advice I have managed to do what i
needed to.
Thank you all - i'm amazed at the level of response... (half expected to
look in a month and see no responses.)
One last thing - If you upload the .war files with the tomcat manager /
host-manager is there a way to do this - or will it always involve hand
editing the server.xml file (and renaming directories). ?
Thanks again everybody - you've possible just saved my monitor from being
throw out the window.
Cheers !

Well, not really about making them the ROOT application.
So I'll try that one too, but someone should probably come after me to
clean up.
Morgan,
if you followed the previous instructions, you now have this directory
structure :
(CATALINA_HOME being the top of your Tomcat installation)
CATALINA_HOME/webapps
(with the standard webapps and documents from the original
Tomcat installation)
CATALINA_HOME/webapps-pink/mrpink/
with your "pink" webapp
CATALINA_HOME/webapps-blue/mrblue/
with your "blue" webapp
Turn off Tomcat.
Under /webapps-pink/, rename the directory /mrpink to /ROOT (uppercase).
Under /webapps-blue/, rename the directory /mrblue to /ROOT (uppercase).
And restart Tomcat.
And unless someone contradicts the above within the next 15 minutes, you
should now be able to access your applications directly via
http://www.mrpink.com[:port]
and
http://www.mrblue.com[:port]

Sorry - didn't see your complete response.......
http://www.mrblue.com/mrblu <http://www.mrblue.com/mrblue>e - already goes
to the mrblue context - i want
http://www.mrblue.com<http://www.mrblue.com/mrblue>to go the mrblue
context.
Thanks for the advise - it seems that I do need to set the ROOT webapp for
each virtual server
- anyone got any ideas of how to do this.
Thanks for your response André

Hi.
It is on an Ubuntu Gutsy server..
As mentioned the tomcat applications are working I can just figure out to
point domains at the contexts......

Can you tell us on what kind of host system you are running this ?
It would help guessing where the files are.
Thanks.
P.S.
I am not the expert, but it should indeed be relatively simple, so I'll
try. In a nutshell :
- start again from the original "server.xml" file.
- in it, locate the <Host name="localhost" ..>...</Host> section, copy
it, and re-insert it after the original section.
- then replace the name="localhost" attribute by name="www.mrpink.com"
- then redo the same one more time, this time with "www.mrblue.com"
The above takes care of letting Tomcat known that there are 3 Virtual
Hosts :
- www.mrpink.com
- www.mrblue.com
- and localhost, which will also be (remain) the Host by default, if the
name given in the request does not match either of the other ones (for
example, if someone calls up http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8180 (with the IP
address of your server). (I suggest to keep that one as it is, to access
the documentation etc..)
Now what is left is to tell Tomcat where, for each of the virtual hosts,
he finds the corresponding documents and webapps.
I would recommend to create 2 additional directories, at the same level
as your current "webapps", say "webapps-pink" and "webapps-blue".
Then move the respective documents/applications in these directories,
checking ownership and permissions etc.. They must at least be readable
by the user-id running Tomcat.
Now go back to your individual Hosts sections, and change
appBase="webapps" by appBase="webapps-pink" and appBase="webapps-blue"
Now restart Tomcat.
You should now be able to access "blue" by calling up
"http://www.mrblue.com/mrblue".
To make this trailing /mrblue go away, you should make this webapp into
the ROOT webapp for that virtual server, but for that I'll let an expert
give you the instructions.
Have I got it right ?
