Not sure I understand what you are mean here by "http host header", isn't that the name of the web site that I am accessing (ie as known by apache) rather than as known by a backend topcat At the moment, I have apache, with two virtual host names of home.chandlerfamily.org.uk (also known as www.chandlerfamily.org.uk) (ip address of my WAN) money.home (ip address of 192.168.0.32) based on ip addressing only (ie not named virtual hosts - because it also needs to support https where named virtual hosts are not supported) which all end up using tomcat services for parts of the web site (urls as defined in JkMountFile). It is all directed to a single tomcat host via a single worker.properties file with the following worker.list=tomcat worker.tomcat.type=ajp13 worker.tomcat.host=appserv.home worker.tomcat.port=8009 worker.tomcat.connect_timeout=10 and a single host on the server.xml line defined as appserv.home This appserv.home (ip address 192.168.0.31) is certainly currently getting all the traffic it should get from apache - but I don't see how that is related to the http host in the header. BUT ... Do you mean that if I had changed my workers thusly worker.list=production,test worker.production.host=prodserv.home worker.test.host=testserv.home ... for the other parameters but where both prodserv.home, and testserv.home had the SAME ip address (say 127.0.0.1 :-) ) AND i add an apache virtual host of test.home (ip address 192.168.0.39) That I can differenciate them in the server.xml file by having an engine running of localhost, but with two hosts with names of prodserv.home and testserv.home respectively, and that provided the JkMountFile was then moved into the correct apache virtual host context, then the same url could be mapped by one apache virtual host to worker production and the other apache virtual host could map to worker test. I could then have different versions of the same app running on production and test. > > You can always install Apache httpd + Tomcat on a second machine (or on the > same machine on a separate set of ports), if you are reluctant to try it on > you production host. > > HTH, > Tim > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan Chandler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 3:50 AM > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: Re: Setting up a parallel test environment on the same machine as > main server > > > On Sunday 12 February 2006 17:07, Alan Chandler wrote: > ... > > > Unless anyone here can suggest a better way, I would like to move the > > JkMountFile directive from global scope to virtual host scope and have > > two separate files urimap files so that I can map different things > > dependent on which virtual host. > > > > However, since this is a live site I don't want to just conduct the > > simple experiment to see if will work, so I am asking here if this is > > OK. > > Is there really nobody on this list who can answer this simple question? > > ... > > > However, I don't fully understand the relationship between <service>, > > <engine> and <host> stanza's in the server.xml file, and until I do, I > > am reluctant to muck about with it and potentially screw the currently > > working arrangement. > > Specifically, there was some conversation here about it best that if tomcat > was running on the same box as the web server (which it is in my case) that > it would be best to make the connection between apache2 and tomcat be via > localhost.
