How to deploy multiple Grails apps on one Tomcat + Apache?

Question

I\'ve read the several questions on StackOverflow and googled several hours but I can\'t find a complete and clear answer to my problem of deploying multiple Grails apps on one

Answer 1

I struggled with this a while back and managed to get something that works ok. It doesn't use mod_jk though, I opted for mod_proxy. I also had a slightly different set up in Tomcat (mine is version 6 btw), where I added multiple connectors as well as the Host declarations you have.

Try the following -

In tomcat server.xml:

  
            domain1.com
  
  
            domain2.com
  

In Apache:

  ServerName www.domain1.com
  ServerAlias www.domain1.com

  ProxyRequests Off

  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error-domain1.log

  
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
  

  
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8081/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8081/
  ProxyPreserveHost On



  ServerName www.domain2.com
  ServerAlias www.domain2.com

  ProxyRequests Off

  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error-domain2.log

  
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
  

  
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8082/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8082/
  ProxyPreserveHost On

Make sure mod_proxy is enable for your Apache server. It was a while ago when I got this working, so I'm sure if everything is needed in that config - once I get it working I tend to forget stuff :)

Hope that helps, Chris.
