I've got 3.2.2 to work and I've integrated it with Apache. I can run the
example applications as either http://server:8080/ or http://server/ and
they work.
Some consultants have developed some java applications that I need to
install on this server. They don't seem to have followed the "standards"
however. There are no web.xml files for the applications, for example.
Instead the application files are just stored in subdirectories of
webapps, except for shared components which are in subdirectories of
tomcat_home/classes.
The applications work when I run them as http://server/appname/ but I
need to get them to run as http://appname.domain.dom/. When I set up the
virtual hosts for these applicaitons however, I run into problems. I get
the error message:
Error: 500

Any idea on what is going wrong?
