1. Create separate Host entries for each host that you wish to serve.
    See:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
This shows how to have separate xml files for the different hosts, which is not what I am asking about

2. Name your WAR file ROOT.war (case is important even on Windows)
I am not using WAR files, nor do I want to be limited to name it according to convention, i.e. ROOT.war

There are a lot of examples - here's an old one:

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts

Those examples use webapps container directory (regardless of whether it's $CATALINA_BASE/webapps or in a different path.

Again, not what I'm after, and not what I'm asking about.

Oggetto: Re: Host appBase vs. Context docBase

Suppose you tell us your Tomcat version.
I'm using Tomcat 8.5.5 -- not sure how relevant that is since AFAIK
this has
not changed in years.

It is highly unlikely that you want the <Host> name to be App1
Of course that my host name is not App1, that was to remove fluff and to
keep only the relevant information in the email.

The path attribute of the <Context> element must not be used unless
the <Context> element is in server.xml, which it should not be
I actually prefer it to be in server.xml

The docBase attribute is used only when the <Context> element is
located in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml
That is definitely not true.  I've set up Tomcat many many times like
this
and it works.  I may have not set it up the best way, hence my question
here, but the docBase attribute is indeed, used.

You need to read the documentation for <Context>, <Host>, and deployment
for the Tomcat version you're using.
It would have been nice to see some real life examples of complete
configurations.

Suppose you tell us your Tomcat version.

<Host name="App1"appBase="C:\WebApps\App1" autoDeploy="false">

Both of the above are incorrect.  It is highly unlikely that you want
the
<Host> name to be App1.  The appBase attribute of <Host> must point to a
directory where one or more webapps are located for automatic deployment.
It must never point to a specific webapp.  The path attribute of the
<Context> element must not be used unless the <Context> element is in
server.xml, which it should not be.  The docBase attribute is used
only when
the <Context> element is located in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml.
You need to read the documentation for <Context>, <Host>, and deployment
for the Tomcat version you're using.
