Are you referring to multiple hosts like this: http://www.thedomain.com/ http://foo.thedomain.com/ http://bar.thedomain.com/ or are you referring to getting rid of the /cocoon/ in front of the URL? > I am using mod_jk (ajp 1.3) for getting apache to talk to > tomcat/catalina.

When you say Virtual hosting, you are mixing what a webapp is for and what a web server is for. You follow your web server's instructions for virtual hosting, and then place the directive for mapping requests to the webapp from there. > > Any help appreciated.
