Hi ,
how do I set up Apache and Tomcat to serve two different web applications.
One application must respond when you visit www.site.com the other when you visit a third level domain like admin.site.com

I don't really know what you mean by "third level domain" in that context, but in both Apache httpd and Tomcat, serving different hostnames is usually something one does with Virtual Hosts.
That is explained for both in their respective on-line documentation pages.
See httpd.apache.org and tomcat.apache.org.

If after reading that, you would have further questions, ask again but I suggest that supply some details about what versions you use, on what system(s), and your configuration.

Ok.

If I don' t go wrong the domain admin.site.com  is considered to be a "third level domain" related to www.site.com

Here are the info about production environment.

LINUX   
APACHE     2.0.59
TOMCAT     5.5.20
JVM    1.5

I read the documentation for both Apache httpd and Tomcat, and I also had some testing on my testing environment, which is somewhat different.

Windows XP Professional
APACHE     2.0.63
Tomcat         6.0.14
JVM    1.5

This is what we want to obtain:
when the user calls http://www.site.com the contents must be served by the application intalled in /site_prod under Tomcat.
When the user calls a particular third level domain, say http://admin.site.com the contents must be served by the application installed in /site_admin

This is how I configured Apache httpd and Tomcat

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

httpd.conf:

here I created two VirtualHosts

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName    admin.site.com

DocumentRoot    "webapps/site_admin"

JkMount     /site_admin/*.jsp worker1
JkMount     /* worker1

RewriteEngine on

[...](Some rewrite rules)

[...](Log files)

</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName    site.com

DocumentRoot    "webapps/site_prod"

JkMount     /site_prod/*.jsp worker1
JkMount     /* worker1

[...](Some rewrite rules)

[...](Log files)

</VirtualHost>

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

In server.xml I created two Hosts

<Host appBase="webapps\" autoDeploy="true" debug="0" name="admin.site.com" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context debug="1" docBase="web\" path=""/>
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" pattern="common" prrefix="home_access_log."
        resolveHosts="false" suffix=".txt"/>
</Host>
       
<Host appBase="webapps\" autoDeploy="true" debug="0" name="www.site.com" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context debug="1" docBase="web\" path=""/>
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" pattern="common" prrefix="home_access_log."
        resolveHosts="false" suffix=".txt"/>
</Host>

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

What is strange is that when both applications are up and running everithing seem to go the right way.
I mean, when I call www.site.com I get a response from the application sitting on /site_prod
And when I call admin.site.com I get a response from the application sitting on /site_admin
But if I turn off the application installed in /site_admin , instead of receving an error message, I get a page from the application in /site_prod

I don' t know if this is a correct behaviour or if my configuration is messed up.
