Thank you to those who have commented on the attached document. Before I revise it fully, I have two questions to pose to the group.
First, there was real distaste for my use of mod_rewrite in Apache to redirect base URLs to their appropriate VirtualHosts ajp worker. My goal was to redirect a client who simply put in http://www.site1.com/ to http://www.site1.com/site1contextname/index.jsp In Apache I used.... <VirtualHost 192.168.1.100:80> DocumentRoot “/contexts/site1/webapps/site1contextname ServerName site1.yourdomain.com ServerAdmin email of server admin JkMount /* ajp13_site1 JkMount /servlet/* ajp13_site1 JkMount /site1contextname/*.jsp ajp13_site1 RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ /site1contextname/index.jsp [NC,R] </VirtualHost> some people recommended I use mod_webapp while other recommended that I use DirctoryIndex, but I am still unclear what is the best and fastest method to do the redirect with mod_jk/Tomcat 3.2.4. (ONE interesting note was that Rewrite would only work if I put it after the JkMount Directives. When i put it before the JkMount's the incoming URL would be sent to the index.html file in /$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT. I belive this may have something to do with web.xml but am not sure.) My second question pertains to setting up a separate directory for each Tomcat instance. I copied the entire contents of $TOMCAT_HOME into a separate directory that I set-up for each new site. ex. mkdir /context mkdir /contexts/site1 mkdir /contexts/site2 cp -R /$TOMCAT_HOME /contexts/site1 cp -R /$TOMCAT_HOME /contexts/site2 I am aware that i can put all my site's contexts into the webapps directory of /$TOMCAT_HOME, but I do have the space on my server to keep the sites in their own directories and was worried that a single directory structure would cause problems when I add lots of sites to this server. Any thoughts? As i get more information I hope to modify the attached document and resubmit it. Thanks again for your time and comments. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
