Virtual Hosts in Tomcat 5, Apache2 using JK Connector

[Naren Koka]

I am using mod_jk with Tomcat 5 and Apache 2.2 and 
jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.15. Virtual hosting on this environment 
is not working. It looks like JK is directing all traffic to the 
default Host in Tomcat Server. It is not able to distinguish the 
sites. When we go to abc2.com, it shows half the content from 
abc1.com and half from abc2.com. There are many files with the same 
names in the two domains - and JK seems to be failing to identify the 
domains. Any help is apreciated

Ealier, I was using WebApp connector for Name Based Virtual Hosting 
on my Apache server. Everything was working fine.  Here is the 
httpd.conf when using WebApp.

LoadModule webapp_module modules/mod_webapp.so
WebAppConnection        conn    warp    localhost:8008

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.201

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.201>
    ServerName "www.abc.com:80"
    ServerAdmin "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
    DocumentRoot "/var/abc"
    ErrorLog "/var/abc/logs/errorlog"
    WebAppDeploy . conn /
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.201>
    ServerName "www.abc2.com:80"
    ServerAdmin "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
    DocumentRoot "/var/abc2"
    ErrorLog "/var/abc2/logs/errorlog"
    WebAppDeploy . conn /
</VirtualHost>

When I tried to upgrade to Tomcat 5, I found out that WebApp is 
deprecated and we should be using the JK connector. I changed the 
httpd.conf to:

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.201

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.201>
    ServerName "www.abc.com:80"
    ServerAdmin "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
    DocumentRoot "/var/abc"
    ErrorLog "/var/abc/logs/errorlog"
    JkMount /*.jsp worker1
    JkMount /*.do worker1
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.201>
    ServerName "www.abc2.com:80"
    ServerAdmin "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
    DocumentRoot "/var/abc2"
    ErrorLog "/var/abc2/logs/errorlog"
    JkMount /*.jsp worker2
    JkMount /*.do worker2
</VirtualHost>


Here is my Tomcat configuration

<Server>
  <Service>
    <Engine>
      <Host name="abc.com" debug="0" appBase="/var/abc" unpackWARs="false">
                <Context path="" docBase="/var/abc" />
      </Host>

      <Host name="abc2.com" debug="0" appBase="/var/abc2" unpackWARs="false">
                <Context path="" docBase="/var/abc2" />
      </Host>
    </Engine>
  </Service>
</Server>

I had to change the servlets to be named as .do and then add the 
JKMount statement, otherwise the servlets were not executing.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Naren
