If I understand this setup correctly, you would be running one instance
of Tomcat for all of your
virtual hosts. This has the disadvantage that if one virtual host needs
to be restarted, you will need
to restart Tomcat for all of your virtual hosts.
An alternative is to let Apache handle the virtual hosts and run
multiple instances of Tomcat --
one instance per virtual host. This requires multiple mod_jk instances,
each communicating
across a unique port with an instance of Tomcat. Each Tomcat should be
deployed to its own
home dir w/ its own CATALINA_HOME pointing to that directory and with
each Tomcat
given its own start/stop.sh script that sets CATALINA_HOME. This is
more complex to
set up, and I'm not sure how many separate Tomcats this can handle, but
it does allow you
to have something like:
http://customer_1.com
http://customer_2.com
...
http://customer_n.com
and fix customer_n's problem without impacting other customers using the
same box. Since I
maintain a box with this setup, I can post sample config files if there
is interest.

It's a receipe for setting up tomcat to do virtual hosting and behave more
like apache with regard to virtual hosts.

Hi
I have setup Tomcat+Apache2+mod_jk. I have 3 application in war files
namely flie1.war, file2.war and file3.war. To deploy, I just put them in
the deploy folder and access then using the urls:
http://foo.com/file1
http://foo.com/file2
http://foo.com/file3
This works perfectly for me. I want to change this to simple urls as
follows:
http://file1.foo.com
http://file2.foo.com
http://file3.foo.com
I have also read the notes on Virtual hosting:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc-
archive/jk2/jk2/vhosthowto.html
Even though I am not able to configure Tomcat to connect to the war files
as requested. How do I configure tomcat to connect to the correct war
file as requested?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards & Thanks
