Hello

Someone has managed to configure the Apache Virtual Host from Tomcat
applications, or better, to ask an url like
http://application.something.com, configured as Virtual Host, through
Apace that actually send to the client the folder
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/application?

I've made some test but without success and the documentation on the web
is not really clear, depending a lot from the particular configurations.

The connection Apache/Tomcat has already been made, and functions
correctly (using the mod_jk.so connector)

the configuration is:
Fedora Core 4
Apache 2
JDK 1.5.6
Tomcat 5.5.12
Connector mod_jk.so

Thank you in advance
Fede

hello federico,

I've managed to make it work, but really I don't undestand perfectly
how... so my solution is the following, you'll find some strange
configs...

assuming that the java app is $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/foo in httpd.conf
I have 2 different virtual hosts, you'll see that both are working in
the same way despite of different configs...

<VirtualHost *:80>
JkMount /* ajp13
ServerName www.mydom1.it
DocumentRoot "/usr/java/apache-tomcat/webapps"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydom2.it
DocumentRoot "/usr/java/apache-tomcat/webapps"
LogLevel warn
HostNameLookups off
ServerSignature email
DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html
JkMount /* ajp13
JkMount /foo ajp13
JkMount /foo/* ajp13
</VirtualHost>

then my server.xml has 2 virtual hosts

<Host
appBase="webapps"
name="www.mydom1.it">
<Context path="" docBase="foo">
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/foo" name="jdbc/foo"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>
</Host>
<Host
appBase="webapps"
name="www.mydom2.it">
<Context path="" docBase="foo">
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/foo" name="jdbc/foo"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>

I have also a context.xml in META-INF dir in the webapp itself, with
the following

<Context path="/foo">
<ResourceLink global="jdbc/foo" name="jdbc/foo"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>

so, theoretically I should not use the context in server.xml, but
didn't manage to make it work otherwise...

hth,
tom
