Re: Wildcard virtual hosts help
You can use a default host if I remember correct. All hosts which don't have there own mapping will be handled by the default host. Ronald.

Re: Wildcard virtual hosts help
What I'm thinking here is using a virtual host within an apache configuration file: *** With apache 2 (not sure if it's in apache 1.3x) you can have virtual hosts defined in separate files and then include them in the main httpd.conf file by saying Include path/to/foo.conf. Apache 1.3 will let you include virtual hosts in the main httpd.conf file. VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80 DirectoryIndex index.html index.jsp index.php ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/App1 ServerName foo.mydomain.com ServerAlias bar.mydomain.com ErrorLog logs/App1.error.log CustomLog logs/App1.access.log common /VirtualHost VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80 DirectoryIndex index.html index.jsp index.php ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/App2 ServerName foo2.mydomain.com ServerAlias bar2.mydomain.com ErrorLog logs/App2.error.log CustomLog logs/App2.access.log common /VirtualHost Again, this is just the approach I would take to map several domains to the webapps. I know you said it was thousands, which is why i thought using a script to generate the virtual host config files would be a possible solution. - Dan - On Thu, 2004-07-15 at 13:15, Daniel J.

Re: Wildcard virtual hosts help
I can't see how that would work (and it doesn't seem to), because while Apache points at the right app directory, any request coming into Tomcat that doesn't match an explicit host name goes to the default host, and thus to a different app ... i.e., I need to duplicate a config I have in Resin that maps: *.somedomain.com -- app1 *.otherdomain.com -- app2 *.yetanotherdomain.com -- app3 In Tomcat I've setup: x.somedomain.com -- app1 but I can't figure out how to route *.somedomain.com -- app1 Resin handles this simply with a wildcard or regexp host string... thanks!
