Hello,
Initially I had a webapp called "admin" running fine, deployed inside the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ directory of tomcat 6. Now I tried setting up a vitual host to run this webapp.
Step1: I added the following in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml
<Host name="mysubdomain.domain.com" appBase="keshav">
</Host>
Step2: I created a folder $CATALINA_HOME/keshav
Step3: Created the ROOT context as $CATALINA_HOME/keshav/ROOT
Step4: Moved my "admin" webapp (which was inside $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/) to $CATALINA_HOME/keshav
Now when I access http://mysudomain.domain.com/admin/jsp/login.jsp, it WORKS fine bringing up the login page. But when I try accessing http://mysubdomain.domain.com/admin/Login.do or any other struts action it gives me 404 error-
"HTTP Status 404 - Servlet action is not available"
In the catalina.out file I get the message "INFO: Servlet action is currently unavailable"
Can anyone please help me figure out what is wrong in this config?
UPDATE: I also had changed the connector port from 8080 to 80. Since opening 80 port requires root privileges, I am starting tomcat using sudo (the user that I am using is in the sudoers list).
Whenever I run tomcat with sudo, the 404 error for struts actions are occuring. If I change the connector port from 80 to 8080 and start without using sudo, the virtual host is working fine..
If I su to root and start tomcat, it is working fine as well. Using sudo seems to be causing this problem..
