Using Apache/Tomcat on a URL other than localhost

[Andy Deighton]

Hi,
I have successfully got Apache 2.0.47 and Tomcat 4.1.27 working together (using mod_jk 2.0.46). Coolio! It I test from the server itself using http://localhost/examples it works. I was stoked.
Now, if I try to attach to the server from "outside" using it's proper domain, I get a 404. For example: http://www.abc.com/examples. So, I created a virtual host mapping in Tomcat's server.xml, restarted Tomcat so it would re-generate the automatic mod_jk.conf, then restarted Apache, but to no avail. The last step was to remove the default localhost Host section in my Tomcat's server.xml and just leave in my www.abc.com section, but again, it didn't work.
I'm sure I'm missing something in Apache (I have played with it's virtual hosting facility because it's only serving one domain on one IP address). Can anyone help?
Cheers!

can you post relevant sections of your httpd.conf and server.xml

I'd recommend not using the auto-conf capabilities, but rather manually configuring the jk connectors (even though those auto-conf are easy).
