i installed a third party app ( on windoes server 2008 r2) that included Tomcat 6.0.24. during config i commented out localhost in server.xml (strange i know).
i set up ssl and url (virtual host) for the app and evrything works as it should.
now (due to another issue) i contacted support for the App and since the third party couldn't get localhost to respond they insist that appache isn't responding even though it absolutely has to be
now when i try to un comment localhost and restart tomcat i don't get any error messages i can find but the url's never generate a response.
my localhost entry looks something like
<Host name="localhost" appBase="C:\third_party\Tomcat6\webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"></Host>
is there anything special about localhost... does it have to be first in server.xml?
does anyone know what i have to do to get it to respond again?
if i just go to the url (as https:) i have on the dns for the machine i do get that status page.
any help or ideas are appreciated. Thanks
