I have been trying to create a virtual host with tomcat 5.0.28 to no
avail. I have read all the docs. read the Wiki. and still no joy.
I must be missing something very fundamental and obvious to long time
users of tomcat that is not obvious to me.
I was hoping to leave up the manager and admin page and then have the
server respond to a dns name for my reall web app. Am I completely naive?
I tried the following:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/CreateVirtualHosts?action=diff
Which is:
0. create ${catalina.home}/www/appBase , ${catalina.home}/www/deploy,
and ${catalina.home}/conf/Catalina/www.myhostname.com
1. add a host entry in the server.xml file
<Host appBase="www/appBase" name="www.myhostname.com"/>
2. Create the the following file under
conf/Catalina/www.myhostname.com/ROOT.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context
path="/"
docBase="www/deploy/mywebapp.war"
reloadable="true" antiJARLocking="true">
</Context>
Add any parameters specific to this hosts webapp to this context file
3. put your war file in ${catalina.home}/www/deploy
When tomcat starts, it finds the host entry, then looks for any context
files and will start any apps with a context

I tried this from
http://www.straker.co.nz/shadoblog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=381058E3-E855-60B6-D7E9C4B07755BEBA
<Host name="127.0.0.3" debug="0" appBase="webapps/shadomx7"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Alias>rhyswilliams</Alias>
<Context path="" docBase="" debug="1"/>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs" prefix="home_access_log." suffix=".txt"
pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
</Host>
Of course changing the names to fit my app.
Still no joy.
Does anybody have an idea what a newbie is doing wrong?
Thanks,
J. Case
