I had to address this question for myself a few weeks ago and what I came up with was having Apache sit in front of Tomcat with mod_jk installed (multiple Tomcat instances behind one Virtual Server configured Apache instance). For me this was necessary but it may well be overkill for most. In the least I suggest you take a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html which says that you can embed context's (aka webapps) inside Host elements which in turn are embedded in Engine elements. One or more virtual hosts are configured this way within a particular engine. (This was how I had my setup before, aka a one-to-one mapping between Tomcat and Apache instances). As far as changing the port you merely need to modify the Connector that listens on 8080 to listen to 80 instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
