RE: Application gets started twice
Chuck, thank you for your advice and patience :) I have found context element nested inside host element on some tutorial long time ago and that where all the troubles started (It was probably meant for pre 5 Tomcat). Now, following your advice, I have chosen the ROOT approach to be perfectly legal. My last problem is the possibility to make the localhost:8080 (used for mod_jk) also available under localhost:8080/app (as internal endpoints) Is there any legal/simple way to accomplish this? Otherwise I will have put my application back to localhost:8080/app And try to reconfigure mod_jk so that it will show it under mydomain.com instead of mydomain.com/app Thanks, Maciej -- [Chuck] You probably don't want to get rid of the Context elements, but they really should not be in server.xml, at least not on Tomcat 5.0 or newer. Also, if you want a particular webapp to be the default webapp for a Host, it should be named ROOT, not anything else. [Chuck] Again, Context elements should not be in server.xml, and the default webapp for the Host should be named ROOT. Following standard practice makes things much easier; if you were to do that, you could eliminate the Context element altogether, and simply place your webapp in: /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoApp/ROOT.war - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

RE: Application gets started twice
Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
For now I have tried something similar that has only one drawback - it is
visible from outside.
Because I didn't want to mess with alfresco endpoints, I have moved alfresco to
regular webapps folder,
Share site is under its own host.
Therefore Share site works directly like this share.domain.com
And for Alfresco I use alfresco.domain.com with auto rewrite to
alfresco.domain.com/alfresco
That is rather fine with me.
Locally Alfresco is available under regular address localhost:8080/alfresco and
Share application can access all the endpoints without any modifications.
Inside HTTPD virtual host for Alfresco I have added:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/alfresco/
RewriteRule ^/. http://alfresco.tessel.pl/alfresco/ [R]
Once more - big thanks for your support
Regards
Maciej

RE: Application gets started twice
Thank you for your time so far! And sorry for a long mail this time :) Because I had some other problems with missing libraries I have decided to get a new installation of Tomcat from apache.org - It solved many problems as compared to Centos yum installation. I have a script that will start it as a service under tomcat account. It is not that easy for me to get rid of Context element as when I do that, my mod_jk stops working I can use it like mydomain.com/alfresco but not mydomain.com When I add Context element that points directly to alfresco, it works fine (mydomain.com). Mikolaj wrote: move webapp to folder different than webapps and update docBase Well, that alone did not fix my problem, I believe What is needed additionally is deployOnStartup=false - does this option set to true deployes only to default location? (not the one specified in context?) Chuck wrote: docBase should point to some directory or .war file directly *underneath* the appBase directory. I'm confused as documentation says: When using automatic deployment, the docBase defined by an XML Context file should be outside of the appBase directory. If this is not the case difficulties may be experienced deploying the web application or the application may be deployed twice. Finally, note that if you are defining contexts explicitly, you should probably turn off automatic application deployment. Otherwise, your context will be deployed twice each, and that may cause problems for your app. Taking all of that into account, I have created this HOST definition, and I copy unpacked WAR manually to docBase dir. Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoApp unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=false xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false deployOnStartup=false Context path= docBase=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco/ Aliasalfresco.domain.com/Alias /Host Host name=share.tessel.pl debug=0 appBase=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/ShareApp unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=false xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false deployOnStartup=false Context path= docBase=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/ShareDocBase/share/ Aliasshare.domain.com/Alias /Host My virtual host for Apache looks like this: VirtualHost *:80 ServerName alfresco.domain.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco #DirectoryIndex index.jsp Alias /alfresco /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco JkMount /* alfresco_wrk JkUnMount /images/* alfresco_wrk JkUnMount /css/* alfresco_wrk JkUnMount /scripts/* alfresco_wrk JkUnMount /yui/* alfresco_wrk JkUnMount /*.gif alfresco_wrk JkUnMount /*.jpg alfresco_wrk JkUnMount /*.html alfresco_wrk Options FollowSymLinks Directory /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco AllowOverride None Allow from all /Directory Directory /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco/WEB-INF/ AllowOverride None deny from all /Directory Directory /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco/META-INF/ AllowOverride None deny from all /Directory /VirtualHost Final questions: Is this configuration reasonable, or is it a total mess? :) Can I be sure that applications will not get started twice now? Can you please suggest best solution so that application Alfresco that is now available under http://localhost:8080/ would be at the same time available under http://localhost:8080/alfresco ? This is needed for multiple endpoints that Share site refers to. Thank you!

Application gets started twice
Hi, I couldn't find anything related to my configuration problem. I have Alfresco application installed under webapps/alfresco. The host looks like this: Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=false xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false Context path= docBase=/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/alfresco/ Aliasalfresco.mydomain.com/Alias /Host When I look at the application log, or catalina.out I can see, that the application is started twice. (there are two application started entries) That happens for each restart of Tomcat... (alias is used for my Apache HTTPD connection, I use Tomcat5, Centos 5.3) Thanks for your great support!

Application is started twice because: 1. Tomcat starts all webapps located within webapps directory 2. Tomcat starts all webapps specified by Context elements Remove Context entry and restart tomcat. It's so easy :-) If you - for any reason - need Context element, move webapp to folder different than webapps and update docBase. -- Mikolaj Rydzewski m...@ceti.pl - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
