RE: Tomcat and Apache
Hi, Sorry to revisit this so much later but I am actually at the point where
I am making these changes (will this project ever end?).
Which file do I make these changes in? Tomcat's server.xml?
That's what I am guessing but...

Cool. The HOWTO is for localhost (http://localhost/index.jsp). If you
want to use something else in the URL, like "www.host.com" or whatever,
then you need to substitute that everywhere it says "localhost", EXCEPT
where it says
<Engine defaultHost="localhost"...
You want that to stay the same. So, where it says
<Host name="localhost" appBase="..." ... >
you want it to say
<Host name="www.host.com" appBase="..." ... >
I would recommend duplicating the localhost setup, not replacing it, for
failsafe's sake.
If you don't feel comfortable doing major edits to server.xml, you can
alias "www.host.com" to "localhost" pretty quickly by adding the <Alias>
tag:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="..." ...>
<Alias>www.host.com</Alias>
....
</Host>
If you get server.xml setup correctly, you should be able to just HUP
(restart) Tomcat to get a new mod_jk.conf file generated with your new
hostnames, and then HUP Apache so it picks up the new mod_jk.conf file.
Another option, if you are comfortable with it, is to add the new Hosts (or
Alias) with Tomcat's administration application instead of directly editing
server.xml.

Yep, server.xml. Then, if you are using the ApacheConfig classes to
generate Apache configuration (mod_jk.conf), you just restart Tomcat to
generate a new mod_jk.conf file, and then HUP Apache so it picks up the new
virtual host definitions.
