I've managed to get TomCat 4.0.1 and Apache 1.3 working with mod_WebApp/WARP
on Solaris 8. I didn't run into that many difficulties either! Does strike
me as odd that TC will work with and without a host. There'll no doubt be a
logical explanation :)
I've mentioned this before but...
The server.xml has this line:
<!-- Replace "localhost" with what your Apache "ServerName" is set to -->
<Engine className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine"
name="Apache" debug="0" appBase="webapps">
But there's no "localhost" to replace! In the "server-noexamples.xml.config"
file the line becomes:
<!-- Replace "localhost" with what your Apache "ServerName" is set to -->
<Engine className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine"
name="Apache" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps">
Which makes more sense!! When trying to interpret the documentation, this is
partly what swung it in favour of specifying <host> and defaultHost.
>From the list, it seems that many people think that the <engine> name and
<host> name need to match, but they don't. In <engine> "name" is purely
logical, but in <host> it defines the name of the host - another area of
confusion! I.e. two attributes with the same name (i.e. name) but different
meanings.
Try http://localhost/examples/ i.e. put a slash on the end.
Thanks,
John

I'm also stuck in this information warp. I've tried the documented
solutions as well as those proposed here and and I still can't access
examples e.g. with http://host/examples. still works with :8080 of course.
