Re: Tomcat with multiple domains
Thank you guys for your great help. It was indeed an error in the xml that I entered in the server.xml file. I put something like this: Server port=8005 shutdown=SHUTDOWN ... Service name=Catalina ... Engine name=Catalina defaultHost=localhost Host name=localhost appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true Host name=www.my2nddomain.com appBase=/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/my2nddomain unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false /Host /Host /Engine /Service /Server Notice that I nested the virtual host definition within the host definition tags of the default host. So, therefore it did not work and I didn't see it. Okay now it works perfectly fine.

Assuming that Paul previously reported the result correctly (he requested a URL mapping to the first host, and got a response from an app of the second Host instead), that would mean that in the process of parsing the above, Tomcat somehow overwrote the appBase of the first Host tag, with the appBase of the second Host tag, no ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Make sure that the new Host/Host definition is nested inside the Engine/Engine tags. You also do not need the first Alias line. The name= parameter takes care of that mapping for you. In general, the nesting works this way: Server ... Service ... Connector ... / Connector ... / Engine ... Host name=host1.com ... Aliaswww.host1.com/Alias /Host Host name=www.host2.com ... Aliashost2.com/Alias /Host Host name=www.myhost.com ... / /Engine /Service /Server There are a myriad other tag sets that could be included in there and it's very important that they be nested properly to work properly. Also, since you are using the /etc/hosts file instead of the DNS system, the client (browser) also has those entries in its hosts file. And, as Konstantin pointed out, you don't put the port number in the /etc/hosts file.

Re: Tomcat with multiple domains
Hi. Here is a brief tutorial on how the virtual host thing works. (I find that many times, reminding someone of these basic things helps in diagnosing things quickly). 1) the browser is given a URL to retrieve, say http://myhost.mycompany.com:8080/home.html; 2) the browser parses this URL in : protocol : http hostname : myhost.mycompany.com port : 8080 URI : /home.html (note : if the port is not given, it becomes the default for the protocol; for example, for http this would be 80, and for https it would be 443) 2) the browser first asks it's local O.S. resolver, to translate the hostname into an IP address. The resolver is the part of the OS which does these translations, and usually - it first looks at the local hosts file, to find a name-to-address translation (under Unix/Linux, this is /etc/hosts; under Windows, it is usually (windows_dir)/system32/drivers/etc/hosts ) - if it is not in the local hosts file, it will contact a DNS server host, and ask it to tranalate the address. In a LAN, the DNS host is usually a local DNS server system. Otherwise, it is a DNS server on the Internet. (Note: DNS stands for Domain Name System and is a standard feature on the Internet) 3) if the browser could not get a name-to-address translation, it will print an error message host 'myhost.mycompany.com' could not be found. If the browser received an IP address from the resolver, it believes it unconditionally, even if it happens to be false, and goes to the next step. 4) the browser establishes a TCP connection to the obtained IP address, and the port determined from the URL. If the browser cannot establish this connection, it will print an error message host 'myhost.mycompany.com' is not responding - try again later. (Note: if you get this far, it means at least that the hostname was translated to an IP address in some way. It does not mean that the IP address is correct, but it's a start.) 5) on this established TCP connection, the browser sends a HTTP request, consisting of several lines, as a minimum the following 2 lines : GET /home.html HTTP/1.1 Host: myhost.mycompany.com .. 6) at the receiving end, it is assumed that a webserver has accepted the TCP connection, and is reading what the browser sends on it. It thus reads the request, as a minimum the same 2 lines : GET /home.html HTTP/1.1 Host: myhost.mycompany.com 7) the webserver parses the HTTP request headers, in particular the Host: header. This tells it the name of the virtual host to which this request is addressed. 8) the webserver looks through it's own list of virtual hosts, to find one of which either the hostname or an alias matches the Host: header exactly. 9) If the webserver finds such a virtual host, then it sets itself up so that this request is handled according to the configuration of that virtual host. 10) If the webserver does not find such a virtual host (neither hostname nor alias match any defined virtual host), then it will direct the request to its default virtual host. This varies a bit from webserver to webserver, but - for Tomcat it is the Host named in the Engine tag - for Apache httpd, it is the first VirtualHost named in the httpd configuration Now, I suggest that you go through the above steps, one by one, really thinking about what happens and if it happens, and make sure that you eliminate all the possibilities that do not apply. And as Sherlock Holmes would say, once you have eliminated all the unlikely things, what remains, even if it is impossible, must be the truth. In your case, according to your last post, you send a request with a URL of http:// www.my1rstdomain.com:8080, and you say that the webapp which answers is started in the Host with hostname www.my2nddomain.com. That does /not/ make sense according to the above scenario. So either you are not showing us your real configuration, or you have not restarted Tomcat after making configuration changes, or you are not describing accurately what you are doing.

Go to the machine you are using as an HTTP client (e.g. web browser) and type this on the command line: nslookup www.my2nddomain.com You should get 88.84.140.85 back. Next, you need to make sure that the client is sending a Host header with the HTTP message. The Host header is required for HTTP/1.1, so if the client is not specifying the Host, it is non-compliant. Tomcat can't determine the virtual host to use if the Host header is absent. If the Host header is absent or the value of Host does not match anything Tomcat has configured, the default Host for the Engine will be used. In your case, it's the localhost host. The current status is that when calling www.my1rstdomain.com:8080 points to the webapp installed for www.my2nddomain.com:8080.

Entering www.2nddomain.com:8080 sends me to 1rstdomain.com. I noticed that the file /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/2nddomain.com/ROOT.war remains untouched by tomcat, at least nothing is extracted from the war file. So what else am I missing here? Make sure that the new Host/Host definition is nested inside the Engine/Engine tags. You also do not need the first Alias line. The name= parameter takes care of that mapping for you. In general, the nesting works this way: Server ... Service ... Connector ... / Connector ... / Engine ... Host name=host1.com ... Aliaswww.host1.com/Alias /Host Host name=www.host2.com ... Aliashost2.com/Alias /Host Host name=www.myhost.com ... / /Engine /Service /Server There are a myriad other tag sets that could be included in there and it's very important that they be nested properly to work properly. Also, since you are using the /etc/hosts file instead of the DNS system, the client (browser) also has those entries in its hosts file. And, as Konstantin pointed out, you don't put the port number in the /etc/hosts file. If you are using DNS for the clients, make sure that it has entries for both hosts, pointing to the same IP address. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Re: Tomcat with multiple domains
Thanks for the answer. I followed the tutorial you propose ( http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts ). But it is still not working.

2012/11/28 Paul van Hoven paul.van.ho...@googlemail.com: I edited the /etc/hosts file and added the following entries: 88.84.140.88www.2nddomain.com:8080 88.84.140.88www.1rstdomain.com:8080 Domain Name Service resolves host names. A port number is not part of a host name. The above two lines are invalid. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
