Server configuration..

A

Andrew Thompson

Ugggh! This is doing my head in!

I am currently working on three sites
and want to have separate directories
on my local machine with separate
URL's for each.. like..

http://localhost:8080/ -> D://2sites/PhySci/
http://le:8080/ -> D://2Sites/LensEscapes/
http://11c:8080/ -> D://2Sites/1point1c/

I _still_ cannot figure how to set up my
server.xml to achieve that. It is here..
http://www.physci.org/test/serv/server.xml

I have read every thread that mentioned
server configuration, but could never seem
to make the advice work for my situation.
[ I always get '404' ]

Can anybody see what I am doing wrong?

[ The 'cream on the cake' would be to have
them all use the same WEB-INF directory,
but that is a minor point.. ]

Have you read how to define virtual hosts?
Just create several Host tags in the Engige tag within the Service tag
within the Server tag.

Try the manual before the newsgroups. I find it often helps.

AFAIK, his is not possible. Remember you're deploying several sites
(each with their own applications, even if they happen to be the same).

I currently have three Host tags defined within
within the Engine tag. As mentioned in the
..xml file I linked to..
(I mean heck, I dinnae wanna dump 12Kb
of my server.xml on the members of the group
that do not have servers or knowledge/interest)

I did, it didn't on this occasion (probably due to
lack of understanding on my part).

Well that's different! Do you have entries for those hostnames
in your hosts file? Don't know where it's kept on your machine
but it's in C:\Windows on Win98.

...ahem.

** I apologise Oscar. **

If I had not formulated a dumb question (wrong information)
If I had read the manual _carefully_ &
If I had not become immersed in my irritation at you
suggesting I _should_ read the manual....

I might have wasted less of your (and my) time.

Thank you for your time, attention and response. :)

It's in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
directory on XP. And thanks, yes, all sorted and
ready to proceed. :)

Okay, so I know this is basic, but have you tried to ping 11c in
a command window?

No. I tried bringing it up in a browser and it
succeeded.

After your post I tried pinging 11c ..specifically
ping 11c
Click to expand...
Request timed out. (x 4)

So then I tried
ping localhost
Click to expand...
same..

I apparently do not even understand how
to 'ping' (that reminds me of a bizarre
Monty Python sketch but ..I digress)

So, what's the proper form/way to ping?
No. Wait. I'll go look it up!

[ As the milliseconds drift by, Oscar's
comment seems ever more valid! ]

Thanks all. If I have further problems
I will immerse myself in the docs for a
coupla' days first.. (I promise)
