But, my problem only applies to the development envrionment. I tried to set up the virtual host on the dev machine by following instructions here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Guide+to+using+Apache+Tomcat's+Virtual+Hosts
You don't need anything to do with Apache httpd.
This resulted in a virtual folder virtual.domainname.com under \dev\apache-tomcat-5.5.12\work\Catalina\ , but I wasn't able to access the application via http://virtual.domainname.com:8080/ It says "you need to have entries in your DNS server ", I guess I can't have this set up while on the local dev box.
Of course you can. Let's say your current hostname is "hawaii". You have an entry in your hosts file like 192.168.10.20 hawaii So you add another name after that, maybe 192.168.10.20 hawaii maui Now you create two Host elements in your Tomcat's server.xml, one for each hostname, with appBase entries something like webapps/hawaii and webapps/maui. Now you install your two apps as ROOT in their respective directories, and you're good to go. Believe me, this is not rocket science, and having multiple aliased hosts on your desktop can simplify a developer's life immensely. :-) -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
