Alan- If your host entry is pointing to the same IP as the host= in server.xml then that will work e.g. localhost is same as myhost.com If your host entry points to a different IP then change the host specification in server.xml to the new host name in your situation myhost.com Be sure to put the correct port number as in http://host:Port
