I got this working now by moving the Context definition from the
ROOT.xml to the server.xml under the <Host> tag as follows
<Host name="www.riz.com" appBase="webapps/riz" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context displayName="riz" docBase="" path=""
workDir="work/Catalina/riz/_">
</Context>
</Host>
I got rid of the www.riz.com directory under $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina
But I did read somewhere that it is not recommended to put the Context
definition in the server.xml file.
Can someone please explain why the first scenario did not work and the
above does, although it is not recommded.
Thanks,
-Riz.

Hi all!
I have been following the mailing list and it seems this is a common
problem amongst many users. But I could not find a solution to my
problem, hence this post. Hope someone can help me.
I am trying to set up a simple virtual host for the domain www.riz.com
on tomcat (listening on port 80) using the instructions provided at
http://ex-parrot.com/~pete/tomcat-vhost.html
Based on the instructions here is what I have done..
1. Added the following to server.xml which is under under
$CATALINA_HOME/conf
<Host name="www.riz.com" appBase="webapps/riz"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
There is a riz.war file under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps that gets
expanded on deployment.
2. Created a directory $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/www.riz.com
Added ROOT.xml to this directory which contains
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context displayName="riz" docBase="" path=""
workDir="work/Catalina/riz/_">
</Context>
Note that I have mapped www.riz.com to 127.0.0.1 in the "hosts" file
under c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc so that when i type www.riz.com
in the browser it will resolve to localhost.
Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, or if I am missing
anything?
Thanks,
-Riz.
