Well, you sort of kind of followed that.

The problem (as Pid has pointed out) is that you're overlapping what the web 
server serves and what Tomcat serves.

Don't do this.

This is very insecure, and will not give you the results you want.

I'm going to assume Apache HTTPD <-- AJP --> Tomcat.

Web Server ----> DocumentRoot for each named virtual host
Tomcat     ----> appBase for each virtual host

None of the above directories should be overlapping.

Use the Wiki document I posted earlier to set up the virtual hosts for Tomcat. 
Again, do not overlap where you put those directories and anything that Apache 
HTTPD serves.

Now, as Pid has also pointed out, you will need to configure mod_proxy, 
mod_proxy_ajp, or mod_ajp to connect Apache HTTPD and Tomcat.

There is a lot of information about how to configure mod_ajp on the list, as 
well as a nice sample configuration file in recent source releases of the 
Tomcat connectors (see the following download page 
- http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi). Once you unpack the 
download, an example can be found in the conf directory.

There are a couple of reasons to run Apache HTTPD <--> AJP <---> Tomcat. For 
example; if you don't want to run Tomcat on port 80, if you serve other content 
(like PHP), or if you have Apache HTTPD modules that provide functionality that 
Tomcat does not (some authentication modules). If you don't have these types of 
requirements, then it's much easier to run Tomcat by itself on port 80 and be 
done with it.

. . . . just my two cents.
