Tomcat in conflict with Virtual Host directive in Apache?

[Ljuba Veselinova <lj...@ling.su.se>]

Hi,

I have finally gotten Tomcat 5.5.17 to work as a windows service on a
windows xp machine; it communicates with Apache 2.0.58 but only if if
the ServerName in mod_jk.conf, httpd.conf and in workers.properties is
the same as the computer name listed in system properties. Morever,
Tomcat appears not to like the directive VirtuaHost to be on in
httpd.conf.

This is however, problematic because I am sharing the server with
another person and his stuff is programmed to work with with an
different (alias) computer name and also with another root path. We
tried to put both the different name and the diffferent root  path in
the VirtualHost directive in httpd.conf but then all communication
between Tomcat and Apache appears to be gone, that is the
servlet-examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample is not found if called by
any machine name (both the alias and the system name); it still works
if called by localhost:8080. If we turn off the VirtualHost directive,
then Tomcat and Apache communicate with each other; but when
VirtualHost is turned off, Rickard's stuff does not work.

Any suggestions to documentation or ways to solve this will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Ljuba

Concerning VirtualHost: JkMount directives by default are not inherited
from the global server to virtual hosts. So if you put your JkMount into
the global server, your VirtualHost will do no forwarding. Either
include them into the relevant VirtualHost, or use JkMountCopy On inside
the VirtualHost.

HTH.
