Can't get name based virtual hosts to work (Windows)
I'm trying to setup name based hosts by editing server.xml.
http://masterserver2.raknet.com/ should display a different page than
http://lobby3.raknet.com/ <http://masterserver2.raknet.com/>
The DNS entries are already setup. However, no matter what URL I put, it
just goes to the localhost page (error)
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps/error" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Host name="masterserver2" appBase="webapps/masterserver2"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"/>
<Host name="lobby3" appBase="webapps/lobby3" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true"/>
<Host name="milestone.masterserver2" appBase="webapps/masterserver2"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"/>
<Host name="milestone.lobby3" appBase="webapps/lobby3" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true"/>

Kevin,
You do not want each named virtual host in the same webapps directory.
At best, you'll get double deployment. At worst, you won't get what you
expect (the behavior you're currently seeing).
The Wiki document I referenced explains exactly how to do this. It works
fine for Windows (change paths to reflect Windows particulars) and
Linux. It works fine in production as well as development.
Simply put:
1. Create three directories OUTSIDE of %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps
2. For each named virtual host do the following:
<Host name="fully-qualified-hostname"
appBase="absolute-path-to-directory"
unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true"/>
3. If you want short-named aliases, change the above to:
<Host name="fully-qualified-hostname"
appBase="absolute-path-to-directory"
unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Alias>short-name-one</Alias>
<Alias>short-name-two</Alias>
</Host>
4. Place a ROOT.war in each of the directories (case is important)
5. If you want a Manager application for each named virtual host:
a. By copying
1. Copy manager folder to appBase specified above
2. Copy manager.xml from localhost to
%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\fully-qualified-hostname\manager.xml
b. By referencing
1. Copy manager.xml from localhost to
%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\fully-qualified-hostname\manager.xml
2. Add a docBase attribute to point to the localhost manager
application
. . . . just my two cents.

Finally got it working. Thanks to those that helped.

Don't top post. It's annoying and confusing.

Turn on access logging to see exactly what's being sent in for Tomcat to evaluate.

Thanks but I had already tried variations on the URL in Host name that
before posting. Right now it's going to defaultHost (currently set to
masterserver2.raknet.com) even though I enter http://lobby3.raknet.com/ in
my webbrowser
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps/masterserver2" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Host name="masterserver2.raknet.com" appBase="webapps/masterserver2"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"/>
<Host name="lobby3.raknet.com" appBase="webapps/lobby3" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true"/>
<Host name="milestone.masterserver2.raknet.com"
appBase="webapps/masterserver2" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"/>
<Host name="milestone.lobby3.raknet.com" appBase="webapps/lobby3"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"/>
Right now I just have an A record DNS pointing to the server IP address. Do
I need to set some other kind of setting than the above change to
server.xml?

You need to use the full DNS name for the name attribute of the host. I.e.:
<Host name="masterserver2.raknet.com" ...

Works on Windows, works with Tomcat 6, Tomcat 7.
