Okay, it still isn't working. It's just a path issue I'm sure of it. When I
point my browser to http://vangemerts.com I get the file located at
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.html.
My host entry in server.xml looks like this:
<Host name="vangemerts.com" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="/var/www/html/vangemerts" />
</Host>
I have also tried (with the alias for www.vangemerts.com):
<Host name="vangemerts.com" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="/var/www/html/vangemerts" />
<Alias>www.vangemerts.com</Alias>
</Host>
I do a restart of tomcat in between changes because I'm guessing that's the
right thing to do. I just run ./openbd_ctl.sh restart.
The install seems to go flawlessly. The only default I don't take is the
very first one (where do I want to install). The default is /opt/openbd/ and
I choose instead /var/www/openbd/. That shouldn't matter should it?
It would appear that tomcat is ignoring my docBase context and instead
looking for all files to be under the webapps/ROOT directory.
Hmm... :o/
Sorry to be such a pain. I hope we can work this out, though.
