Place the static content in Apache in the directories that would be referenced by Tomcat. The way you did it will work but it is not recommended especially if you would like to deploy WAR files quickly and the static content does not change often. You can deploy the files to a different document root in apache and this solution will still work. You were close in what you needed to do. You are only missing a few entries
JkUnmount /images/ JkUnmount /webappA/images/ JkUnmount /webappB/images/ Jkmount will include an entire tree. Jkunmount excludes parts of the directory tree. -----Original Message----- From: Hua Hou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 10:11 AM To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org; users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Apache + Tomcat configuration: static / dynamic content (with ROOT application deployed) I think this question had been asked before. But when I searched the tomcat user group, I don't find a satisfactory answer. Here is my question: How to configure Apache & Tomcat so that Apache handles static content for virtual host with more than one web applications? My web application directories are as following: /webapps/ /webapps/webappA/ /webapps/webappB/ /webapps/ROOT/ I have three web applications (contexts): the default(""), webappA("/webappA"), and webappB("/webappB"). Each application has both static content and dynamic content (JSP/servlet). in Apache httpd.conf, I have the following virtual host definition: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.myserver.com DocumentRoot "F:/Tomcat5.5/webapps" JkMount /servlet/* worker1 JkMount /*.jsp worker1 </VirtualHost> With this configuration, everything works, except that the static content for the default application (/ROOT) can't be loaded by Apache because Apache can't find the content. If I change the DocumentRoot to: DocumentRoot "F:/Tomcat5.5/webapps/ROOT" The static content for the default application can be loaded by Apache, but the static content for the other two web apps can't be loaded (outside of DocumentRoot). How can I configure virtual host so that the above problem can be solved? I did figure out a workaround, here it is: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.myserver.com DocumentRoot "F:/Tomcat5.5/webapps/ROOT" Alias /webappA/ F:/Tomcat5.5/webapps/webappA Alias /webappB/ F:/Tomcat5.5/webapps/webappB JkMount /servlet/* worker1 JkMount /*.jsp worker1 </VirtualHost> With the above configuration, all static / dynamic content for all the three web apps can be loaded properly. However, is this a standard / recommended configuration? Your help will be greatly appreciated!
