Hi, I'm very new to Tomcat and web server stuff but have been asked to set up multiple instances of Tomcat on one server to talk to some database servers. I've found the existing documentation a little confusing (sorry) and was wondering if anyone would be able either to give me step-by-step advice or point me to some documentation that uses very simple language - I'm basically looking for the hand puppet version of things. My scenario is as follows:
I have one web server and several database servers (possibly more to come) all on different machines in different parts of my building. I have a different web front end for each database - this is something I can't change as it's a requirement. I need to set up multiple instances of Tomcat, one for each web front end so that each front end can talk to its respective database. I also need to have this run as a service so that if the web server needs to be rebooted then all my Tomcat instances will automatically restart. My OS is Windows (XP I believe) and I'm using Tomcat 5.0 - I can't alter these because of dependencies on our current software. I was also under the impression that I had to use a connector (mod_jk?) but this wasn't hugely clear to me. My current understanding is that I need to create folders for each Tomcat instance and copy certain files from the main Tomcat into them. I also believe that I need to change the port listings within one of the files. However, I'm not much clearer on things other than that. I'm sure this is probably very simple but any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for your time. Chris. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
