It's interesting. Look at the server-noexamples.xml.config file that is supplied with TomCat. It's implied that the only difference between this file and the standard server.xml is the context def's for the examples web app. Yet in the server-noexamples.xml.config file:
<Engine className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine" name="Apache" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps"> and in server.xml <Engine className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine" name="Apache" debug="0" appBase="webapps"> The <!-- Replace "localhost" with what your Apache "ServerName" is set to --> makes more sense in the server-noexamples.xml.config file! Did someone slip up, perhaps?? Slap dash cut and paste? My last email didn't explain things too well! As I understand it, server.xml should have: <Engine className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine" name="Apache" defaultHost="myserver.domain.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps"> <Host name="myserver.domain.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"> I.e. name matches defaulthost. I think this is how it's supposed to be - that's there's at least one host and that it's name matches the engine's defaulthost. It's great fun - the books conflict with the documentation, user experience conflicts with the books -and- the documentation... :) Thanks, John Quote for the week: Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.

Now there are two suggested solutions what was ment with that comment. - the entry 'name="Apache"' where the comment used localhost instead of Apache - the missing entry 'defaultHost="localhost"' Reading the documentation on the jacarta site (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/engine.html) I think your interpretation is right.
