Serving static files in a cluster
Hey, I am using tomcat 5.5.26 on Ubuntu, currently having a clustered configuration, but having the entire cluster on a single box. I have the tomcat instances sitting behind apache. Eventually I'd like to move to cluster on different physical boxes. Part of our application involves serving files that are saved on the local file system. These files are uploaded by users. My question is, what is the best way to save these files so that they can be served across the different physical boxes? Should I be mirroring the files across each physical box or is there a particular distributed file system I should be using for storing the files? I dont know if there is any other technique. Thanks, Imran
where can I download tomcat version 6.0.14 ?
Hi, I recently downloaded eclipse galileo, version 3.5 and installed the latest version of tomcat, version 6.0.24. The problem is, the directory structure of the most recent tomcat release, version 6.0.24 is a little different from version 6.0.14, the one I had working previously. (with eclipse 3.4, I think). When I try to configure the server from within eclipse, it still expects that older directory layout from earlier versions of tomcat6, unfortunately. I am using ubuntu 9.10, and am trying to get my system set up to do j2ee webapps, so I manually downloaded eclipse, the latest stable version, 3.5 SL1. I'm sure there's a way to get eclipse 3.5 working with the latest version of tomcat, but frankly I don't have a lot of time right now to spend trying different things, I just need to get a JSP environment up and running quickly. It doesnt matter to me if its the latest version of tomcat6, so PLEASE, PLEASE just tell me where I can download tomcat version 6.0.14. There's only a link to the latest version on the ApacheTomcat.org main website. Thanks, Adam

It certainly didn't come from the docs, nor from Peter's or my messages. Go back and reread them all. To quote from Peter's message: > > create a file in $tomcathome/conf/Catalina/yourhost called ROOT.xml The name of your is? (It's certainly not dummyapps.) Tomcat would have completely ignored a file in the above location. > > WEB-INF/web.xml > Does that look at all like the element Peter provided? To refresh your memory, here it is again (with the invalid path attribute removed): > > > reloadable="true"> Note the presence of the docBase attribute and the comment therein. Also, it's pointless to have a of WEB-INF/web.xml in your element, since that value is already in the global one. If you have nothing to put in a element, you don't need one. > And the directory structure for the new context home (the content a > built/deployed app I copied over from its old location in /webapps). > $CATALINA_HOME/dummyapps > $CATALINA_HOME/dummyapps/WEB-INF > $CATALINA_HOME/dummyapps/index.jsp > $CATALINA_HOME/dummyapps/(other static files) Which is still very wrong. The appBase directory is the default location for all of a 's webapps - there can be many. The default webapp for a must be named ROOT (case sensitive), and is located either under the appBase directory, or where the docBase attribute points in the conf/Catalina/[host]/ROOT.xml file. Peter's message shows one way to achieve what you want, and facilitates the use of the same .war file or directory as the default one for each (the docBase attribute of all the ROOT.xml files would point to the same place). If in fact you want to use a different default webapp for each , you can separate them by the appBase setting of each , and not place the ROOT.xml file in conf/Catalina/[host]. In this scenario, your structure would be: host1apps/ROOT/ host1apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/ host1apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/ host1apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/ host1apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml host1apps/ROOT/META-INF/ host1apps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml host1apps/ROOT/index.jsp host1apps/ROOT/ host2apps/ROOT/ host2apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/ host2apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/ host2apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/ host2apps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml host2apps/ROOT/META-INF/ host2apps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml host2apps/ROOT/index.jsp host2apps/ROOT/ ... The element for each webapp should be in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file. Additional webapps (if any) for each would be placed in directories named for the webapp under host1apps, host2apps, etc. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Also, you were already given the answer before : Probably (but we cannot tell that for sure just by your server.xml file), it looks like /something/ is sending a normal HTTP request (*) /to the shutdown port of the server/, instead of the normal HTTP port. Find which client is sending a HTTP request to his port : instead of this port : and you will find the reason. (*) as a matter of fact, as per the logfile, it looks like this client is making a connection to port 3006 and then just sending an empty request.

Re: 6.0.24 SSL Session always New
iainmac wrote: 3. This page is made up of a parent frame and 2 sub-frames. 4. The parent frame (the named page that the redirect is to) does that check above i.e. tries to get the Username from the session object- This works successfully. This page begins to load. 5. The first sub-frame begins to lad, tries the same check - in MSIE (and in Tomcat 5.0.28 other browers too) we are given the same validated session, so all works fine. In other browsers with 6.0.24 a new session is given, and so I am again redirected to the logon page! In a loop! Same this happens with second sub frame. As a work around I have simply rewritten my pages not to use frames, all works fine. I believe that what you indicate above is the core of the issue. It has nothing to do with Tomcat, it has to do with the logic of what you are doing, and the way different browsers handle separate windows (or frames, which are separate windows). I'll try to give an example : Suppose that the first document you request from the server is a frame document, with 2 frames. The frame document itself is not submitted to authentication by the server. So it loads in the browser without problems. While loading this frame document, the browser notices that it is a frame document, and that there are 2 links in it to load the individual frames. So the browser creates 2 new windows (the frames) and issues 2 new requests (one per frame), to fill these windows. Any or all of these individual frame URLs is set up on the server as requiring authentication. So now look at it from the server side. It receives 2 separate (and almost simultaneous) requests for different URLs, each one submitted to authentication. The server has no idea that these requests come from the same browser, and each one is handled separately, as if they came from 2 different workstations even. (So basically, each request may be handled by a different thread or child of the webserver). At this point, none of these requests contains any authentication headers, because the browser has not done any authentication yet. So basically, the server is going to answer each one of them, individually, by sending the login page. And so on. The above may not be exactly what happens in your case. But I hope it is sufficient to give you an idea of what to look for. The symptoms are going to vary depending on how each browser exactly issues the different requests to the webserver (in the same connection or not e.g.), how it handles windows, frames, tabs, iframes etc.., the load on your server, how users get to this first page and so on. In other words, practical recommendation : do not have the first page of your website be a frame document requiring authentication. This would create problems with any webserver, not just with Tomcat. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Re: Virtual host set-up woes
Step by step: 1. edit conf/server.xml and add a section inside the tag that looks like this:- 2. create a directory inside your tomcat home directory called "yourhostapps" as defined above e.g. mkdir $tomcathome/yourhostapps 3. create a directory $tomcathome/conf/Catalina/yourhost 4. create a file in $tomcathome/conf/Catalina/yourhost called ROOT.xml, making sure ROOT is all upper case, that contains the context for your app e.g. docBase="$tomcathome/somewhereNotInTheAppbase/myapp.war" reloadable="true"> (note the jdbc Resource is optional but I thought it might be useful :-) make sure you put the db driver jar in the lib directory) 5. start tomcat e.g. $tomcathome/bin/startup.sh I like to tail -f $tomcathome/logs/catalina.out too :-) On 20/02/10 18:28, Eric P wrote: I'm struggling big time trying to set up a virtual host in Tomcat.
