You're almost certainly mixing the remnants of the various configuration changes that you've made. > What I need is for www.mydomain.com to host mywebapp on the default path > and anotherapp on path /anotherapp (see below) > If I have this setup in server.xml, everything works: > > ... > <Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="webapps/mywebapp" > unpackWars="true" autoDeploy="true"> > <Context path="" docBase="." debug="0" cookies="false" /> > <Context path="/anotherapp" docBase="../anotherapp" debug="0" /> > ...

Remove the context definitions from the server.xml. 2. You must not define multiple Contexts in conf/context.xml. 3. Do not define conf/Catalina/mydomain.com/<contextname>.xml. 4. Do not use the path or docBase outside of server.xml. 5. Start with a fresh configuration, to ensure you aren't mixing configs in your rush to solve the problem. 6. Include a META-INF/context.xml with your context config in the WAR. Check that it's there by unzipping a copy of the WAR. 7. Don't forget to include the reloadable="true" settings in the context. 8. Just install the ROOT war, then configure the remaining app(s). One thing at a time. Tomcat will auto-deploy and copy the configs into conf/Catalina/host/ <Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="your/apps" ...> Place the default app like so: your/apps/ROOT.war If this doesn't deploy/start up, check your log files and look for errors in catalina.out and any app-local logs. Post the file system layout after deployment, the actual context you deployed in the war, and your current server.xml. > Pid wrote: >> Daniel M Garland wrote: >>> My full <host> element then: >> >> yeah... >> >> remove the context defs from server.xml and put them in >> META-INF/context.xml, which is a dir/file inside your webapp. >> >> this method of defining contexts is not encouraged, because you have to >> restart the server to reload the config, amongst other reasons. >> >> the default web app is called ROOT.war, your other one would be >> asmalljspapp.war. put both files in the appBase dir. >> >> when it unpacks, it'll drop the contexts like so: >> >> appBase/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml >> appBase/asmalljspapp/META-INF/context.xml >> >> i strongly recommend that you have a read of the Context config stuff in >> the docs. you'll need to set reloadable="true". >> >> http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html >> >> >> p >> >> >> >>> <Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="webapps/mywebapp" unpackWars="true" >>> autoDeploy="true"> >>> <Context path="" docBase="." debug="0" cookies="false" /> >>> <Context path="/asmalljspapp" docBase="../smalljspapp" >>> debug="0" /> >>> <Alias>www.myvirtualhost.com</Alias> >>> <Alias>subdomain.myvirtualhost.com</Alias> >>> >>> <Cluster >>> className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster" >>> >>> managerClassName="org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.DeltaManager" >>> expireSessionsOnShutdown="false" >>> useDirtyFlag="true" >>> notifyListenersOnReplication="true"> >>> >>> <Membership >>> >>> className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.mcast.McastService" >>> mcastAddr="228.0.0.5" >>> mcastPort="45565" >>> mcastFrequency="500" >>> mcastDropTime="3000"/> >>> >>> <Receiver >>> >>> className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.ReplicationListener" >>> tcpListenAddress="10.78.1.43" >>> tcpListenPort="4002" >>> tcpSelectorTimeout="100" >>> tcpThreadCount="6"/> >>> >>> <Sender >>> >>> className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.ReplicationTransmitter" >>> replicationMode="pooled" >>> ackTimeout="15000" >>> stateTransferTimeout="45" >>> waitForAck="true"/> >>> >>> <Valve >>> className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.ReplicationValve" >>> >>> filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;.*\.jpg;.*\.png;.*\.css;.*\.txt;"/> >>> >>> <ClusterListener >>> className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.ClusterSessionListener"/> >>> </Cluster> >>> </Host> >>> >>> Any ideas?
