Hi there,
we are creating a staging / QA environment for our websites.
We are using a Win2K server running IIS which has multiple websites
defined (using host headers for identification against a single IP
address), eg:
localhost
staging.website.com
staging.website2.co.uk
staging.website3.de etc etc
I have installed the latest version of Tomcat (5.5.7) and configured it
using the jk2.0.4 connectors and for the default website this is fine; I
can serve JSP's that I place under the {CATALINA_BASE}\webapps\ROOT
directory structure. I know this isn't the best place to put them but I'm
trying to take this in easy steps!
My main problem is when trying to server JSP's from the virtual, ie non
localhost, sites defined in IIS.
In IIS I have added the isapi_redirector2.dll and created the 'jakarta'
virtual directory so I'm pretty certain that I'm missing a trick somewhere
on the Tomcat configuration side but I'm not sure where.
I have tried editing the workers2.properties file in the conf directory
with the following entry:
[uri:staging.website2.co.uk/*.jsp]
info= Attempt to map requests for all JSP pages on virtual server to
Tomcat.
context=/staging_website2_co_uk
The context directory exist under webapps and was created by cutting,
pasting and renaming the jsp-examples directory. Again, far from ideal but
I'm just trying to get up to speed!
This hasn't worked as expected in that staging.website2.co.uk/test.jsp
returns a 404 whilst localhost/staging_website_co_uk/test.jsp returns the
page properly.
Attentions then turned to the server.xml file where I've really got a bit
lost.
Should I be creating staging.whatever as an engine or a host?
Additionally, should I be adding a new directory under \conf\catalina for
each of the new sites, similar to the localhost directory?
I appreciate that this is a number of questions but I've tried all the
things that seem 'obvious' to me but I'm now flailing about aimlessly and
could do with Some Help :)
Thanks in advance,
