Chris/Phani,

We have finally decided to go ahead with multiple ecommerce webapp approach.
But for now, we are not mapping the webapp to a virtual-host as this has not
worked out at all. TO summarize the problem we faced, on mapping the new
webapp, nqcommerce with the virtual host, def.abc.com, though the url
http://def.abc.com/nqcommerce/control/main was accessible, the resources
mapped under images webapp, werent accessible.

Approaches tried included adding virtual-host mappings (def.abc.com,
localhost, abc.com) to the images webapp, replicating images instance etc,
mapping ecommerce webapp to abc.com while nqcommerce was mapped to
def.abc.com.

Thank you for all the help,

cheers,
ravish

Also your /framework/logs/console.log file from the
database being checked until the end of the webapps
loading.
