updated 'virtual host' example for jboss/tomcat

[vsima]

The quick start guide section, 'setting up virtual hosts for tomcat', seems totally out of date. It contains a reference to a jboss.jcml which doesnt exist for 3.x .
As a result I am having a very hard time sucessfully configuring a virtual host using the current example.

Can anyone provide a better, updated example?

Please include a copy of the file
$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/tomcat41-service.xml . A copy from the latest release (JBoss-3.0.6_Tomcat-4.1.18) would be very helpful.


Thanks.

I am now getting a "HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request" error when hitting my site. Below is my tomcat41-server.xml file.

If anyone sees anything wrong with it let me know.

...

&catalina.home;

<!-- Uncomment this if you want interval snapshot for the
session clustering.
interval
2000
-->








<Logger className - "org.jboss.web.catalina.Log4jLogger"
verbosityLevel = "debug"
category = "org.jboss.web.Host=localhost"/>

I was having problems with this too, so here is what I did.

1)
Created a directory in the server/default directory called domains.

2)
For each virtual host, created a directory within the domains directory. /domains/secristfamily, /domains/missiontracker

3)
Modified the tomcat-service in /server/default to be:
<!-- Secrist Family Virtual Host -->

www.secristfamily.com




<!-- Mission Tracker Virtual Host -->

www.missiontracker.net




4)
Make sure you modify the engine name from localhost to match at least one of the names of the hosts, unless you keep the localhost host of course. (jakarta's site indicates that at least 1 host must match the name of the engine.)

Hope this helps...

Actually, it turns out you don't need to add the appBase attribute in the host tag. It was pointing to the wrong directory anyway - but still seemed to work.
