Hi ya'll i've setup an apache server with tomcat 5.5 on Debian. everything is goin fine. when I access localhost:8080 on the server itself I got the default webpage of tomcat .. I click on servlets-examples and I excute a servlet and it executes normally. the problem is I want to let some of my clients have a folder on their default directories { /home/client1 ... for example } to publish some servlets and try to access their folders through web like: http://domain.com:8080/~client1/servlet/Hello my problem is whenever I try to access this URL .. I got an error 404 not found :S any idea !!! please cause it's really urgent and if you want more information about the setup .. i'm ready to post it over here /.. but I think there's a small trick ....... and everything will go fine Regards,
Do you have Alias directives in the Apache configuration for that vhost? Like Code: AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web1/user/$1/web/$3 AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web1/user/$1/web/$3
Falko thank you for your reply... but the thing is I didn't install the connecter yet between apache and tomcat. so i'm trying to access the servlet directly through tomcat server on port 8080 http://localhost:8080/~userX/servlet/HelloWorld and I got an error 404 page not found .. redirect problem ..since my actual folder is found under this folder on /home/userX/webapps/WEB_INF/classes/HelloWorld.class I've read a lot of article and i'm still havin the same problem ... thank you in advance
Hm, I don't have knowlwedge about Tomcat, but ctroyp has. He has written this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_tomcat5_mod_jk You can write him a private message, if you want.
