That seems to have been the solution! Thanks very much. Is this documented anywhere in the official Tomcat documentation?

Because I think there is a special naming convention for the root context. This means if you have different applications you need to deploy them into different folders. Karl-Heinz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Rometsch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org> Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 10:34 PM Subject: Managing automatic deployment with multiple virtual hosts Hi There, I am running Tomcat 5.5.9 in production, using 1 tomcat instance to service several websites (each with their own hostname) via virtual hosts. I have Apache 2 running in front of Tomcat, connecting via mod_jk. I am having OutOfMemory issues, and have noticed that, due to my webapps structure, I appear to be deploying 2 instances of each site. When I look in the manager application I see the following in the Application List: www.sitea.com/ localhost/sitea www.siteb.com/ localhost/siteb www.sitec.com/ localhost/sitec Etc. etc. My current directory structure is simply placing the war files for each application into the tomcat/webapps folder. I then add a <Host> declaration in the server.xml file for each virtual host: <Host name="www.sitea.com"> <Context path="" docBase="/opt/tomcat/webapps/sitea" debug="0" reloadable="true"/> </Host> <Host name="www.siteb.com"> <Context path="" docBase="/opt/tomcat/webapps/siteb" debug="0" reloadable="true"/> </Host> <Host name="www.sitec.com"> <Context path="" docBase="/opt/tomcat/webapps/sitec" debug="0" reloadable="true"/> </Host> I still have the localhost set up in the server.xml file: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> I presume this is the culprit. The problem I am having is that I cant figure out how to get Tomcat to auto-deploy war files without then creating a second running instance in memory with a context path of /sitea. I've tried a variety of different directory structures, but am unable to deploy a war file without it correctly deploying to a / path, and thus not consuming more memory within the VM. Is there a best practise way of doing this? Should I be putting context.xml declarations in the META-INF directory of my war files?
