In the tomcat webapps directory, create a symbolic link called ROOT to vivo. This will redirect all requests to root to the vivo application.
eg:Code Block cd /usr/local/tomcat/webapps rm -rf ROOT ln -s vivo ROOT ls -latr vivosolr vivo ROOT -> vivo
Modify the <Host> in Tomcat server.xml (located in
[tomcat root]/conf/
) so that the context path is empty to allow VIVO to be served from the root path. Locate the<Host name="localhost"...>
directive and update as follows:
Code Block |
---|
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" DeployOnStartup="false" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Alias>example.com</Alias> <Context path="" docBase="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/vitro" reloadable="true" cookies="true" > <Manager pathname="" /> </Context> ... |
After setting up the above, it is recommended that you modify the Tomcat AJP connector parameters in server.xml. Look for the <connector> directive and add the following properties:
Code Block |
---|
connectionTimeout="20000" maxThreads="320" keepAliveTimeout="20000" |
Note: the value for maxThreads (320) is equal or greater than the value for MaxClients in the apache's httpd.conf
file.
3. in the tomcat/conf directory - create a ROOT.xml with the context element as stated above. This was suggested, but somebody needs to verify and complete this document.
