This tutorial explains how you can host pointer domains with a Java web hosting package from JavaPipe. This is assuming that you wish to host a particular webapp for a different pointer domain other than your primary domain.
- First thing you need to do is to create a pointer domain in you SiteWorx control panel.
- Then you need to add a Host entry in your server.xml (It is a very good idea to back up this server.xml file before editing it.) Be careful not to change any of the port information – doing so could get your site suspended.
Place following code after the last </Host>
tag and just before the closing </engine>
tag
<Host name="{pointerdomain.com}" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> <Alias>{www.pointerdomain.com}</Alias> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="/home/{username}/var/{primarydomain.com}/logs" prefix="{pointerdomain.com}_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/> <Context path="/" docBase="/home/{username}/{primarydomain.com}/tomcat/webapps/{webappname}" crossContext="false" reloadable="true"> </Context> </Host>
Replace {username}, {domain.com}, {pointerdomain.com} and {webappname} with your own.
Set up the webapp or drop in a new WAR file of the new webappname in your webapps directory.
Restart tomcat.
Limitations for Pointer Domains.
- There is no seperate email system for pointer domains. [email protected] and [email protected] are the same.
