Using Railo and Resin with domain aliases

There are many guides out there to help you in setting up Railo with IIS. But none of the ones that I found helped you to configure domain aliases.

So I am going to give you a quick example of the way that I have used to configure my domain aliases. I'm sure there are some easier ways of doing it but this is how I did it.

There is a file called resin.conf under the conf folder in you Railo install folder. At the bottom of this file you will find a "</cluster>" tag.

Just before this you will need to add in this piece of code. The host id is the aliases, in this example allmead.com. You will then need to enter the root directory of the actual site. Then you will need to enter where the web site is.

<host id="allmead.com">
<root-directory>C:/Inetpub/vhosts/allmead.co.uk</root-directory>
<web-app id="/" document-directory="C:/Inetpub/vhosts/allmead.co.uk/httpdocs"/>
</host>
<host id="www.allmead.com">
<root-directory>C:/Inetpub/vhosts/allmead.co.uk</root-directory>
<web-app id="/" document-directory="C:/Inetpub/vhosts/allmead.co.uk/httpdocs"/>
</host>

This is very simple to do.
Just remember you will need to restart the Railo server service after you save the file.

Hi Jonny,

it's even easier if you do it this way:

<host id="allmead.com" root-directory="C:/Inetpub/vhosts/allmead.co.uk">
   <host-alias>www.allmead.com</host-alias>;
   <web-app id="/" document-directory="httpdocs"/>
</host>

You do not need to define it twice. You can even define your hosts implicitly by using regular expressions:
<host regexp="(.+)">
   <host-name>${host.regexp[1]}</host-name>
   <root-directory>C:/Inetpub/vhosts/${host.regexp[1]}/webroot</root-directory>
   <web-app id="/" document-directory="."/>
</host>

Hope that helps...

Thanks for that.
I am already using
<host regexp="(.+)">
<host-name>${host.regexp[1]}</host-name>
<root-directory>C:/Inetpub/vhosts/${host.regexp[1]}/webroot</root-directory>
<web-app id="/" document-directory="."/>
</host>
to define my hosts.

But that way of defining the host alias does look easier.

How do I do a regex entry that allows for both the www.domain.com and domain.com addresses to point to the same folder -- in other words, modifying the regex above to remove the www.

We are traveling by train. Out timberland hiking boots windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children timberland shoe company waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant timberland boots hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and timberland wheat shoes valleys, of mountains and rolling classic 3 eye timberland boat hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.But uppermost in our black timberland boots minds is the final destination.
