Hi,
I have disabled vhost option in tenant web application upload page. But if
the catalina-server.xml has a virtual host listed, in the file structure,
{CARBON_HOME}/repository/tenants/1/ has relevant directories for appBases
of vhost entries.
eg: for the entries below,
<Host name="localhost" unpackWARs="true" deployOnStartup="false"
autoDeploy="false"
appBase="${carbon.home}/repository/deployment/server/webapps/">
...
</Host>
<Host name="www.vhost.com" unpackWARs="true" deployOnStartup="false"
autoDeploy="false"
appBase="${carbon.home}/repository/deployment/server/dir/">
</Host>
there will be two relevant directories (eg: "dir" and "webapps" in both
tenant space({CARBON_HOME}/repository/tenants/1/) and super-tenant space
({CARBON_HOME}/repository/deployment/server/) ). .war files uploaded to
those locations can be deployed successfully similar to super tenant. The
issue I have mentioned on deploying webapps that uploaded by tenant get
deployed to super tenant space with context name cannot reproduce with the
latest build.
Thanks,
Nipuni
