I'm just getting confused. You first posted as Nam Pham ("signed" as "Nam"). Then as J Java. And your StackOverflow question says Shailesh Vaishampayan. I can't keep up.
>> Sorry for any confusion. Maybe I made a mistake in posting the reply. But Nam is the original user who posted it . I just replied to it. My name is Shailesh Vaishampayan, and I use different email just to keep professional emails seperate from personal emails and I have it registered as J Java on gmail. Each virtual host can only have one default (ROOT) web app. Read about virtual hosting in the Users Guide. >> Ok. thanks will have a look thanks. There is no specific reason to front Tomcat with httpd if you only need one instance of Tomcat. Most people need multiple instances for various reasons, and since Tomcat doesn't do reverse-proxying, generally people use httpd or something similar out front. >> right. but i do have multiple instances. so i guess my decision to use front server is correct. >>Please let me know can I do this with Tomcat virtual hosting even if its behind HTTPD. Thanks, Shailesh.
