WebAppDeply and UseCanonicalNames
Tomcat Version: 4.0.x (not sure which exact release - I think its 4.0.2) I've got a pretty serious problem right now that I'm having trouble fixing. I've got a production website running and I need to change the header of the pages on the website depending on the hostname in the URL. I've got UseCanonicalNames set to off for the default, and for each virtual host. Lets say I've got this... VirtualHost 192.168.1.20 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/www/docs/development/blah.com UseCanonicalName Off ServerName doh.blah.com ServerAlias homer homer.blah.com RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^.*\.xsl$ / [R] WebAppDeploy pctidev conn / ErrorLog logs/homer-error_log CustomLog logs/homer-access_log common Directory /home/www/docs/development/blah.com Options All AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory /VirtualHost I'm using Cocoon1 along with Tomcat (but I dont think it has anything to do with Cocoon). If I try to go to the following URL with these settings: http://homer.blah.com/index.xml It works fine that way - BUT - if I try going to the following (keep in mind I have index.xml set as one of my DirectoryIndex settings): http://homer.blah.com/ It changes the URL to be http://doh.blah.com/index.xml If I comment out the WebAppDeploy in the VirtualHost and just stick in an index.html file in the same directory and try the same thing it works fine. It's almost as though Tomcat is the one doing the redirection (and it doesnt make any difference if its a .xml file or .jsp - same thing happens). I have both domains specified in my server.xml like the following: Host name=homer.blah.com debug=0 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve directory=logs prefix=homer_access_log. suffix=.txt pattern=common/ Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger directory=logs prefix=homer_log. suffix=.txt timestamp=true/ Context path= docBase=/home/www/docs/development/blah.com debug=0 reload=true/ /Host The exact same thing is copied after this and the name= is changed to name=doh.blah.com. Can ANYONE please give me a little help Thanks, - Brent -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: WebAppDeply and UseCanonicalNames
Thanks for the reply - this seems like a pretty nasty bug in mod_webapp doesn't it? Unless you're like Microsoft, then we could always just call it a feature :) I'll try hacking at mod_webapp and see if I can get that to work (unless you could be so generous enough to pass on the code you're currently testing so I could take a look - if it's not company confidential or anything you can send it directly to me). Thanks for the help! - Brent -Original Message- From: James Williamson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 10:27 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: WebAppDeply and UseCanonicalNames Hi Brent, We had the same problem, if you actually look at the source code of mod_webapp (and you're familiar with Apache internals) you'll notice two things. 1) During Apache's rewrite handling stage which mod_webapp (wam_match) wants to take part in it returns OK, this tells Apache that the rewriting stage is over so mod_rewrite is essentially ignored. Since mod_webapp is generally the first handler (as you've often LoadModule(d) it) to take part in this stage this is the behaviour you'll get. 2) Even if you tell wam_match in mod_webapp to return DECLINED which lets mod_rewrite take part it doesn't make any difference. mod_webapp only looks at the raw uri, during the rewrite stage only the filename is alterered. What this basically means is with the current mod_webapp code you can forget all about rewriting. And then I'll start going on about the 302 issue. The solution: hack mod_webapp or do something which we implemented, which is essentially moving over to using the filename, something we have on our development machine which we've been testing recently.

Tomcat vs Apache and Errors
I just upgraded from Tomcat 3.2.x to 4.0. I'm using it with Apache 1.3.19 and the webapp module to connect. I've noticed something very odd though... It seems as though Tomcat is handling all the errors? Any error I get is output by Tomcat itself (a 404 error, a 500 error, etc). In Tomcat 3.2.x when an error occurred that error message was output by Apache (not the fancy blue Apache Tomcat screen). It almost seems as though Tomcat is handling the output of pages and errors itself?? I assume this behavior does NOT mean Tomcat is serving images and html pages right? I want Apache to handle all files EXCEPT for JSP and XML (using Cocoon 1.8.2) files. (and I realize I can use the error-page tag in the web.xml file to have it redirect to a file - that's ok in production but I don't want that to be done in development) Any insight on this would be very helpful... thanks! - Brent -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Multiple WEB-INF
I saw some posts in the mailing list archives about this but haven't really found the solution. I've got a development location and a staging location where I keep all my JSP files (and XML using Cocoon). I've then got virtual host entries for both sites. The problem is, I'd like to separate the WEB-INF/classes for both (right now I've got the staging WEB-INF in my CLASSPATH so any imports inside JSP come from that directory). Ideally, I'd like to have both WEB-INF directories be separate, the class com.whatever.MyClass comes from the dev class file in development, and staging class file in staging. I've got both vhosts running just fine (by adding to the server.xml directory and such). That's all running great. (I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 - also, should I go ahead and upgrade to 3.3???) Thanks, - Brent
Worker Classpath
Does anyone know of a way to override the classpath for a single AJP13 worker? I'd like to have a worker (or set of load-balanced workers) set aside which has a classpath set to point at a location where the java files will not be changed (a "staging" type of environment - com.mycomp.temp for example) - but have another http server on another port which sends requests to another set of workers whose classpath points to another java "development" directory which will constantly be changing (also com.mycomp.temp but from a different unix directory). I realize I could just copy tomcat and change the ports and it would do the same thing - but if possible I'd like to use the workers and run only one tomcat instance. Thanks, - Brent
Re: Solaris binary for mod_jk.so
Why should they worry about compiling that for you? I just installed 3.2 a little while ago and I had no problems. If you'd just take a look at the mod_jk documentation it gives you the EXACT command you need to run under Solaris to get mod_jk.so to compile. If you still can't get it to work though, email me directly and I'll attach and send you a copy of my mod_jk.so file. - Brent "Jonathan Eric Miller" To: "Tomcat User" [EMAIL PROTECTED] jemiller@uch cc: (bcc: Brent Johnson/HPC) icago.edu Subject: Solaris binary for mod_jk.so 11/30/00 01:23 PM Please respond to tomcat-user First off, I would like to congratulate the Tomcat developers for the release of 3.2. You guys are doing a greate job and I look forward to using it. One thing that I think would be very helpful to users is if you could provide binaries for mod_jk. I'm guessing it's just a matter of resources and not having developers around that can make these binaries. From what I remember, there used to be Solaris binaries awhile back. Then, Solaris seemed to be dropped in favor of Linux. I just wanted to make a point that there are probably still a lot of Solaris users out there that might appreciate have a binary as well. I'm going to try to build it right now. It's been a few months since I last did this. At that time I found that the instructions had improved a bit which I really appreciated. I had major problems building mod_jserv previously, due to pretty much non-existent or incorrect documentation. BTW, I'm hoping at some point to no longer have to use Apache Web Server at all and instead just use Tomcat in stand-alone mode. However, there are a few issues that I need to resolve first. One issue is that I want to limit SSL connections to using 128-bit encryption and not 40-bit or 56-bit. I'm not sure if this is possible with Tomcat. Jon
Ajp13 Problems w Mod_JK
These are a few problems/questions I'm having upgrading and using Tomcat 3.1 to 3.2 with Ajp13 instead of 12 (for SSL). 1) As for SSL security can apache handle the security and THEN pass off the request to Tomcat? (the pass to tomcat would be internal behind a firewall) 2) I've noticed when starting up and shutting down Tomcat, the context manager keeps mentioning /examples, /test and /admin although I've commented these sections out in the server.xml file. Is there some other configuration location to remove these? 3) If I change my JkMount to point to /somethingElse/* instead of /servlet/* in mod_jk.conf (included in this message) the server no longer processes the servlets.. not really sure why. I'm guessing there's some other file I havent changed.. 4) If I bypass apache and use the Tomcat internal HTTP server it seems to be processing requests fine. But if I try to use apache to grab the request and pass it to a load balancing worker it doesnt seem to work. Here's a copy of my conf file: LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so AddModule mod_jk.c JkWorkersFile /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel warn JkMount /*.jsp lb1 JkMount /servlet/* lb1 Location "/servlet/WEB-INF/" AllowOverride None deny from all /Location Location "/servlet/META-INF/" AllowOverride None deny from all /Location I then have workers set up in the workers.properties like the following: worker.list=lb1, ajp12, ajp13-10, ajp13-11 worker.lb1.port=4000 worker.lb1.host=localhost worker.lb1.type=lb worker.lb1.balanced_workers=ajp13-10, ajp13-11 worker.ajp12.port=4200 worker.ajp12.host=localhost worker.ajp12.type=ajp12 worker.ajp12.lbfactor=1 worker.ajp13-10.port=4201 worker.ajp13-10.host=localhost worker.ajp13-10.type=ajp13 worker.ajp13-10.lbfactor=5 worker.ajp13-11.port=4202 worker.ajp13-11.host=localhost worker.ajp13-11.type=ajp13 worker.ajp13-11.lbfactor=5 I've also changed the server.xml file to point the Ajp13ConnectionHandler to port 4000 (the load balanced worker). Any ideas as to why this isnt working? All that happens, is Apache issues me an internal server error (real helpful). Thanks for the help! - Brent
