1.7.3 + Tomcat Apache Virtual Host NOT completely working

Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

1.7.3 + Tomcat Apache Virtual Host NOT completely working

Postby dereklin » 12. January 2010 20:12

I have tried so many times and many different ways to get the virtual host working in Xampp 1.7.3.
In 1.7.0, there was no problem at all what so ever.
This is with Tomcat add-on installed by the way.
But in 1.7.3, I can either get apache to listen on 127.0.0.1:80 and do <virtualhost my.first.host> and <virtualhost my.second.host> and so forth.
But if I listen on *:80, all local domains (the ones that point to 127.0.0.1) it will always go to the localhost. It will just ignore the other virtualhost definition. It almost seems like there is a security setting that blocks apache from seeing the right virtualhost. However, the live domains will route the to correct virtualhost.

Again, if I use 1.7.0. There is no problem at all. I am able to listen on *:80 and have both my.local.domain and my.live.domain route to the correct virtual host. Has anyone encountered this and fix this? Thanks!

Please paste into forum code brackets your httpd-vhosts.conf file and your Windows hosts file.

I have been trouble shooting, this seems to be some config problem when Tomcat add-on is installed. Here is what I did:

1. Installed Xampp for Windows 1.7.3
2. Installed Tomcat Add-on
3. everything is in c:/xampp
4. Modified the httpd-vhosts.conf to look like this:
Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
   
    JkMount /examples ajp13
    JkMount /examples/* ajp13

    JkMount /host-manager ajp13
    JkMount /host-manager/* ajp13

    JkMount /docs ajp13
    JkMount /docs/* ajp13

    JkMount /manager ajp13
    JkMount /manager/* ajp13
   
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    #AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    #Deny from all
   Allow from all
</Directory>
   
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/temp/5"
    ServerName dummy-host.localhost
<Directory "C:/temp/5">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    #AllowOverride None
    #Order deny,allow
    #Deny from all
   Allow from all
</Directory>   
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/temp/8"
    ServerName dummy-host2.localhost
<Directory "C:/temp/8">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    #AllowOverride None
    #Order deny,allow
    #Deny from all
   Allow from all
</Directory>   
</VirtualHost>


Run all three: localhost, dummy-host.localhost, and dummy-host2.localhost. They all point to c:/xampp/htdocs

Then I take a httpd.conf from a standalone apache http server 2.2.14 and over wrote the one from xampp, change the serverRoot and documentRoot. Run the 3 different local domains, they point to different sites -- as expected. But the problem is that many things like php is not working properly without the complete httpd.conf from xampp.

Wonder if they tested this before releasing it.

If anyone is interested, this is the half-working httpd.conf:
Code: Select all
#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned. 
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which httpd.exe is located
# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "C:/xampp/apache"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Re: 1.7.3 + Tomcat Apache Virtual Host NOT completely working

Postby Izzy » 13. January 2010 01:37

Not sure if there is yet a Tomcat addon for XAMPP 1.7.3 as the one referred to on the XAMPP For Windows home page is for XAMPP 1.7.2 - usually the Tomcat addon release follows later than the XAMPP version release, so if you are having Tomcat issues then perhaps you may need to wait for the latest version release.
Tomcat Readme file wrote:Add-on Tomcat 6.0.20 (for Apache 2.2.11 >= XAMPP 1.7.2-dev3.1 )



First, return your httpd.conf file back to the default installation file of XAMPP.

Make sure that your other instance of Apache is never run at the same time as XAMPP.

Your Tomcat configuration is taken care of in the C:\xampp\tomcat\conf\auto\mod_jk.conf folder so the entry in your httpd-vhost.conf file is not required and BTW the paths specified for Tomcat is relative to the C:\xampp\tomcat\webapps folder as defined in the C:\xampp\tomcat\conf\server.xml file
server.xml wrote: <!-- Define the default virtual host
Note: XML Schema validation will not work with Xerces 2.2.
-->
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
You also have some other problems with your vhosts and when there are errors the default vhost - localhost in your vhosts file - is always returned.

So having said all that and assuming you have put back XAMPP to it's default installation state then perhaps your vhosts file may look something like this:
Code: Select all
NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
</Directory>   
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/temp/5"
    ServerName dummy-host.localhost
<Directory "C:/temp/5">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>   
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/temp/8"
    ServerName dummy-host2.localhost
<Directory "C:/temp/8">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>   
</VirtualHost>
Your C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\host file should have these entries immediately after the normal localhost entries
Code: Select all
127.0.0.1 dummy-host.localhost
127.0.0.1 dummy-host2.localhost
After returning your httpd.conf file to it's installation defaults and after making the above edits, save the files and restart the XAMPP Apache server and try again to access via your web browser but first clear your browser's cache.

Hum... thanks for taking the time to help, but this is going in loops. Is everyone else who is running 1.7.3 with tomcat accessing virtual hosts correctly? Both on locally by modifying the hosts file and publicly via dns?

It is a compatibility issue with tomcat. I had the same problem so on a hunch I commented out the <virtualhost> section in mod_jk.conf and suddenly my virtual hosts all worked.

Of course, starting Tomcat auto-writes that file and re-introduces the virtualhost entry.

There must be a fix for this...

Windows - XAMPP Apache Tomcat
Here is a description of how I got Tomcat running kindly with
my other virtual hosts. I don't use Tomcat much and I'm no
Apache expert so there may be other problems in the pipe;
as always your mileage my vary - back up your install first.

* Installing XAMPP with Tomcat *

Extract the XAMPP install to c:\xampp.
run c:\xampp\setup_xampp.bat.
Run Apache from the XAMPP control panel and check it works.
Stop Apache.
Extract the Tomcat install to c:\xampp.
run c:\xampp\setup_xampp.bat.
Run Tomcat then Apache from the XAMPP control panel and check
they both work.

* Modify hosts files *

In "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" add some host names
for your virtual hosts, including an independent one for Tomcat -
127.0.0.1 hostxampp.com
127.0.0.1 yourserver.com
127.0.0.3 tomcathost - use an unassigned local ip address


* Modify the Apache configuration *

In "C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf" added the following at
the end of the file -
Include "conf/myconf.conf"

Create the file "C:\xampp\apache\conf\myconf.conf" and include
the following -
Code: Select all
NameVirtualHost *:80

## XAMPP Host - Primary Host to enable all XAMPP status functions to work
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerName hostxampp.com
    ErrorLog "logs/hostxampp-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/hostxampp-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

## Another virtual host
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/yourdocs"
    ServerName yourserver.com
    ErrorLog "logs/yourserver-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/yourserver-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>


* Modify the Tomcat configuration *

Edit the file "c:\xampp\tomcat\conf\server.xml" in two
places using our Tomcat host name -
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
becomes
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="tomcathost">
and
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
becomes
<Host name="tomcathost" appBase="webapps"

Edit the file "c:\xampp\tomcat\conf\jk\workers.properties"
in two places using our Tomcat host name -
worker.ajp12.host=tomcathost
and
worker.ajp13.host=tomcathost

Now, when you start Tomcat it will auto generate
"c:\xampp\tomcat\conf\auto\mod_jk.conf". If you examine
this file you should see the VirtualHost and ServerName
changed to tomcathost. If this is so your other virtual
hosts should start working again.

Use XAMPP control panel; start Tomcat then Apache.

Test with:
http://localhost/xampp/ - XAMPP status pages
http://tomcathost/examples/ - Tomcat examples
http://yourserver.com/ - other virtual host

Note that the link to the java examples from the XAMPP
status page will now be incorrect, the new url
is http://tomcathost/examples/
