2 OFBiz Versions on 1 Virtual Host

[John Lammin]

Hi

I'm installing 2 versions of using Apache HTTPD as follows:

www.mycompany.com/ofbizinstall1
www.mycompany.com/ofbizinstall2

In the browser I type in 'www.mycompany.com/ofbizinstall1/ecommerce'  and it displays the ecommerce page OK but all the links on the page still point to 'www.mycompany.com/ecommerce'.

What I'd like to find out is how to make the page links point to 'www.mycompany.com/ofbizstall1/ecommerce' . Is there a simple way to do this?

(BTW I'm using running OFBiz OOTB with Tomcat.)

Any help appreciated.

Regards
John

I think the Technical Production Setup Guide on docs.ofbiz.org would  
be more helpful, especially the section about URL writing with  
url.properties, etc.

Thank you both for your help.

It has helped me to see that my original plan was as simple as I thought.

I have changed to the following solution.

1. Change the port numbers for the https port (Ex. 8443 -> 8444) and internal ports (Ex. 8009 -> 8007) used by the second instance.

2. Create different named ecomclone type applications for each instance. Apache httpd can use Location tags to relay calls to '/firstecomclone' to the first instance and calls to '/anotherecomclone' to the second.

This appears to work fine.

Thanks again,
