RE: Virtual Hosting with Auto Deploy
Chuck, I think you are right that it is a permission problem. Each appBase is a separate hosting account having a different directory owner. I'm concerned that I'll weaken security if I grant group write access. In this case, I can probably deal with running apps from the war, or manually expanding if necessary.

Does the uid Tomcat is running under have full access to all of the appBase directories? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Vin Miller wrote: Hello, I have searched the internet extensively and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I have a Virtual Private Server hosting account pre configured with Tomcat 5.5.26. My goal is to have multiple domain names, each with their own java app, served by this one instance of Tomcat, and to be able to redeploy each app at any time without restarting Tomcat. I've gotten through the first part, but am having some strange behaivor regarding deployment. For each Host in server.xml, both unpackWARs and autoDeploy are set to true. When I place a .war file in the appBase directory as definied by the Host, the app deploys, but the .war file doesn't expand. It seems that the app is being run directly from the .war file. How is this happening? I have read that the .war will not unpack if the Context is in server.xml. I took it out and moved it as suggested by the documentation. Not only does the .war still not expand, the app is no longer accessible. Moved it to where, have you defined a context.xml file in the .war, and if so, is it in META-INF/? What is in your context definition? Lastly, if I manually expand the .war file, and get rid of the .war file itself, the app will not run regardless of where the Context is. I should also mention that the appBase of each Host is the respective domain's home directory rather than a directory under webapps. As long as docBase != appBase... Are you also using HTTPD or just Tomcat? I am running out of ideas. If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate hearing it. Post the Host fragment for one site, and the matching context.xml, and describe where you put it (as above). p Thanks, Vin - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Post the Host fragment for one site, and the matching context.xml, and describe where you put it (as above). Host name=tennisladderpro.com appBase=/home/tlp/public_html unpackWARs=true autoDeploy=true xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false Aliaswww.tennisladderpro.com/Alias /Host War file: /home/tlp/public_html/ROOT.war Context: In war (required by Netbeans): META-INF/context.html ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? Context path=/ I also tried putting contexts in the following places with docBase=/home/tlp/public_html/ROOT.war. /usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/tennisladderpro.com/ROOT.xml /usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml I've tried a bunch of different configurations and it seems that nothing will result in the war files being unpacked.
