Tomcat6/7 virtual hosting - yet again
This is my 4th day trying to setup virtual hosting on Linux-Debian;
even trying Tomcat6 after failing on Tomcat7.
Yes I have read everything that I can find in Tomcat documentation -
including the obtuse:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
what I found on this forum for March:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/
as well as all as many, many well intended explanations located on the
Web. Please acknowledge my stupidity, but help anyway.
This is long indeed. On purpose. I believe we need a detailed
description how to do it correct. Note, I do NOT use WAR-file
deployment. [It is not clear to me whether that is relevant ...]
I test using a windows XP box which allows to create a bogus domain in
the file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
It has the line:
206.41.127.116 www.testzzz.com
Using a browser (on that box) to access that bogus domain
www.testzzz.com "works" but gives an unexpected response:
Index of /
[ICO] Name Last modified Size Description
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Server at www.testzzz.com Port 80
The site, apparently, was able to get to the right place, but ...
I expected to access an index.html file under a ROOT directory, see
below.
Here the testzzz directory structure:
/home/ddc/test
/home/ddc/test/ROOT
/home/ddc/test/host-manager
/home/ddc/test/manager
/home/ddc/test/ROOT/index.html
/home/ddc/test/ROOT/WEB-INF
/home/ddc/test/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml
No, there are no errors in catalina.out.
That log does have a line showing that ROOT.xml is activated:
INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor ROOT.xml
I do NOT see deployment of www.testzzz.com.
Under webapps/ I see auto generated directories for:
ROOT, docs, examples, host-manager, manager
In logs, I see empty logs for:
manager
host-manager
localhost
testzzz access log
I expected that the testzzz log would grow.
Here is what I have in server.xml (pruned):
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="www.testzzz.com">
<Host name="www.testzzz.com" appBase="/home/ddc/test"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
Under .../Catalina:
www.testzzz.com
www.testzzz.com/ROOT.xml
www.testzzz.com/manager.xml
www.testzzz.com/host-manager.xml
Inside ROOT.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="" reloadable="false" crossContext="false">
</Context>
Now what?
And what would be the layout for a 2nd virtual host?
THANKS ...

Here's a reasonably detailed description for the Tomcat part (using Tomcat 6.0.26 on Fedora and Windows).
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts
I've not written up how to map this to Apache HTTPD virtual hosts, but basically that should just be placing the right JkMount directives in the correct Apache HTTPD virtual hosts.
As other people have pointed out, if you want to access your web sites on port 80, you'll either have to use something like mod_jk, mod_proxy_ajp, or mod_proxy_http with Apache HTTPD. Or you can shut down your Apache web server and change Tomcat to run on port 80.
Hope that helps.

As expected. What makes you think it will magically respond on port 80? (Especially since you have httpd listening on port 80.)

So you pretty obviously need to continue to use port 8080, eh?
e.g. http://www.testzzz.com:8080/
or turn off the Apache httpd running on port 80 and change your TC
connector configuration....

Let add that Tomcat was responding on port 8080 with out of the box server.xml.

Uh, "unexpected" because that's obviously not a Tomcat server at all
that you're accessing, or something else? :-)

TX, for the quick response:

And what would be the fix ?
