hi! Looks like if configuring a Tomcat 6 cluster Engine's and host's default host must be "localhost", ie.
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="private-tomcat1"> <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> If having something else than localhost, an error is logged: 2009-04-03 12:48:15,492 WARN [pool-2-thread-1] (org.apache.catalina.ha.ClusterListener) Context manager doesn't exist:private-tomcat1# Since we are planning to run different Tomcat servers on the same box, each with their own ip, so it would seem to be more convenient if Engine could use the same address.
