multiple domains at the root location

[hans_bakker]

May i have your opinion?

We have the requirement to run several different ecommerce domainnames
as a root application.

I know we had a domain name in the webapp definition in
ofbiz-component.xml, but that was removed at a certain point.

Any suggestions how to implement this?
Perhaps using the website entity? and using the webapp mount point
internally?

thanks in advance for your suggestions....
Regards,
Hans

Hi Hans,

Best way is to use Apache HTTPd server as proxy and use the mod_jk or
mode_ajp_proxy module of Apache to connect to OFBiz server.

Thanks,

Raj

perhaps some extra info, we are using the Amazon ec2 loadbalancer as
frontend (decrypting ssl) and pass on directly to the ofbiz system.

Raj already suggested to use apache for that, but apache is not there
and we would like to do this directly in OFBiz.

Hans

Other option could be to define multiple hosts in the
ofbiz-container.xml. I am not sure if the current xsd support but this
is how you do it in Tomcat. Tomcat supports virtual hosts and what you
looking for is virtual hosts at Tomcat level.

This function was already in OFbiz but it did not work anymore...

fixed in revision 1081692.

You can use multiple <web-apps with the same mount-point however with
different <virtual-host host-name specs"

Hi Hans,

We've a similar requirement to host 2 websites and backend applications on a
single instance of ofbiz-10.04 on EC2.
The websites have to be mounted on mounted on root.
We are ready with the first website, www.website1.com.
Website1 will be accessible at www.website1.com & backend applications will
be accessible at ofbiz.mycompany.com
We've configured the DNS settings and currently both these URLs point to the
same IP address.

We've applied virtual host settings in
hot-deploy/website1/ofbiz-component.xml &
framework/images/ofbiz-component.xml
We've also applied your changes from revision 1081692

Though theres a problem when we try to access ofbiz.mycompany.com, it
redirects to www.website1.com

If you have a tip, please let us know.

hi varun

also make sure your domains are set in the related website entity:
content -> websites -> select website -> update http and https fields

for others, the related blog is at:

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your response.
I've made settings suggested by you in Store > website > http port and https
port, it did not work.
When I access ofbiz.mycompany.com, it still takes me to www.website1.com

Also let me correct myself, when I try to access ofbiz.mycompany.com, ofbiz
serves the same content as it serves for www.website1.com and NOT re-directs
as mentioned earlier.
