Configuring a virtual host in Weblogic

Hi,
I created a virtual host in Weblogic but it doesn't work. I followed all of the steps from the Weblogic website.
The default URL for my application works, http://localhost:7001/abc_application but when I try using the new virtual host I get an error,
http://xyz.com:7001/abc_application. I applied the virtual host to my Weblogic Managed Server and also to a deployed application. What else needs to be done outside of Weblogic for this to work?
Sorry for the cross-posting.
Thanks,
Annette

Hi Annette!
Have you modified the hosts file for your machine to add an entry for xyz.com to map back to 127.0.0.1?
What sort of errors are you getting when you try to access the virtual host? Can you post a snippet from your log file?
Apologies if your problem has been solved since posting this message...

How to configure Apache Virtual Hosts?

Hi, I was wondering, how does configure Apache virtual hosts for Mac OS X Client 10.4.5? At this time, I have added
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/janus
ServerName janus.php.test
ErrorLog /private/var/log/httpd/janus.php.com-error_log
CustomLog /private/var/log/httpd/janus.php.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Finally, when I try to use the name in the browser, I get the following error message:
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://janus.php.test/” because it can’t find the server “janus.php.test”.
Well, I must go and thanks in advance.
Peace,

If you want to use the fqdn you defined and can/do not want to register it as a Internet Domain you can add it to the hosts file in /etc/hosts if you are comfortable using terminal and the shell
open a terminal
and use the following commands
cd /etc
sudo vim hosts
(you will be prompted for your password here, enter it and hit return)
in vim scroll to the last line which will look like
::1 localhost
type
i
(you are now in insert mode)
type the following line
192.168.0.15 janus.php.test
(replace the ip address with the ip address of the host in question)
hit Control-C
type
:w (vim will confirm in the last line)
type
:q
you are back at the terminal
test your new hosts file by typing
ping janus.php.test
Hope this helps

Virtual Host on WebLogic Server 5.1

I need to configure my weblogic server 5.1 on windows 2000 server to make a virtual
host address.
How I can do it ????
Thanks a lot for any help.
Bye

Hi Andy,
I think a good approach for you would be to use a proxy server --
browser -> proxy that supports virtual hosting -> WebLogic
Use a proxy which supports virtual hosting, and which can have a separate
certificate bound to each virtual host.
That way you can do SSL between the browser and the proxy, and you can
have the proxy do cleartext to WebLogic.
This situation gets around WebLogic's limitation of allowing only one
certificate per instance of the server.
You could also use 5.1 as the proxy in the following manner:
Run 3 instances of Weblogic, each as a proxy server, each bound to a
different IP address and DNS name, having its own certificate --
one instance for aaa.com, another for bbb.com, and a third for ccc.com
Then have each of these three instances of WebLogic proxy to your "app
server" instance of WebLogic on the backend.
Hope this makes sense.

How to configure multiple virtual hosts for the same context root /

Hi,
I am using Glassfish V1 U1 - b14 on Solaris.
I am trying to configure two applications to be mapped to the / root context, each one in its own virtual host.
Two things I have noticed:
1. I have to manually add virtual-hosts="hostId" in domain.xml/application-ref ... looks like just simply deploying the app does not do that although the application is set as default for its particular virtual host. Is this a bug?
2. Although I have set for each virtual host the default web-app correctly, and they both respond fine, I cannot map both of them to the / context. The second application (chronologically deployed) does not respond when called with the / context ....
Any ideas? Is this a bug again?
Regards,
Rares

Wow, that's a shame. All mighty Application Server and two different apps on two different virtual hosts are considered ambiguous to have the same context root definition.... Fair play to Tomcat and 90% of the rest of servlet containers!
In my case I have the same EAR we are planning to deploy to many (up to 30) virtual hosts. Faking different context roots for each deployment will bring unnecessary overheads...
Should I file a bug or feature request?
Thanks again for your answer, although you're basically saying it is not possible I will wait and look a while for a possible solution before bringing this topic to a conclusion.

Virtual hosting in Weblogic 6.0

hi,
I have created a virtual host with the name MyVirtualHost and VirtualHost names
as mysite , in wl6.0 using the admin console.
I have cofigured DefaultWebApp_myserver as the default web application.I checked
the config.xml file and an entry has been made in it <VirtualHost
DefaultWebApp="DefaultWebApp_myserver"
Name="MyVirtual Host"
PostTimeoutSecs="20"
Targets="myserver"
VirtualHostNames="mysite"
/>
How do I access it?
I tried http://mysite and http://mysite:7001 but I get the default "page cannot
be displayed " page with IE.
Any Help?
Thanx
Sunil

Not quite sure what the question is, but the answer most likely rests in wl 6.0 docs under "virtual
          hosting".

hi.
Virtual hosting is supported in WLS 6.x. It is not supported in 5.1.
FWIW our apache plugin for WLS 5.1 does support apache virtual hosting. I'm not
sure if this is relevant to what you want to accomplish.
You might want to post questions like this in
weblogic.developer.interest.webserver.

Creating Virtual Hosts in Weblogic 8.1

How to create Virtual Host in WLS 8.1
(i.e) , if i type WWW.myapplication.com, the WLS8.1 should fetch the page........

Use the Administration Console to define a virtual host.
Create a new Virtual Host.
Expand the Services node in the left pane. The node expands and displays a list of services.
Click the virtual hosts node. If any virtual hosts are defined, the node expands and displays a list of virtual hosts.
Click Create a New Virtual Host in the right pane.
Enter a name to represent this virtual host.
Enter the virtual host names, one per line. Only requests matching one of these virtual host names will be handled by the WebLogic Server instance or cluster targeted by this virtual host.
Click Create.
Define logging and HTTP parameters:
(Optional) Click on the Logging tab and fill in HTTP access log attributes (For more information, see Setting Up HTTP Access Logs.)
Select the HTTP tab and fill in the HTTP Parameters.
Define the servers that will respond to this virtual host.
Select the Targets --> Servers tab. You will see a list of available servers.
Select a server.
Click Apply.
Define the clusters that will respond to this virtual host (optional). You must have previously defined a WebLogic Cluster. For more information, see Using WebLogic Server Clusters.
Select the Targets tab.
Select the Clusters tab. You will see a list of available clusters.
Select a cluster.
Click Apply.
Target Web Applications to the virtual host.
Click the Web Applications node in the left panel.
Select the Web Application you want to target.
Select the Targets tab in the right panel.
Select the Virtual Hosts tab.
Select Virtual Host.
Click Apply.
You must add a line naming the virtual host to the etc/hosts file on your server to ensure that the virtual host name can be resolved.

SSL with virtual hosting in Weblogic Server 5.1(WLS5.1)

Hello,
I am tasked with implementing a virtual hosting situation that must

Jk_mod configuration in virtual host

Hi,
I met a strange problem.
Apache has several virtual hosts. Each virtual host has its own configuration file, which is "included" into main httpd.conf .
If I define JkMount directive in virtual host conf file inside <VirtualHost>, it does not work.
If I move it to the httpd.conf at the top level, it works fine.
Could you help me out to launch it on <VirtualHost> level.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I just wanted to clarify my question, has anyone been able to use group authentication using OID to restrict access to websites hosted using AS10g? My website is just plain html, but maybe someone has done something similar by adding a java wrapper to perform the authentication (that seems like overkill to me but maybe there is a more elegant workaround)?
Thanks,

Problem configuring front end host for weblogic cluster

hi,
I am using weblogic 8 sp4,I have a cluster of WLI servers for which i am trying to configure a front end host.I am using apache Http server 2.0.55 for the same.
I copied the mod_wl_20.so file to the modules directory and added the following to httpd.conf file
LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl_20.so
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
WebLogic http://myIP:9191,http://myIP:9192,http://myIP:9193
ErrorPage http://myerrorpage1.mydomain.com/
MatchExpression *.jsp
MatchExpression *.xyz
</IfModule>
<Location /weblogic>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
PathTrim /weblogic
</Location>
however,the error page gets displayed and not the default weblogic page.
When I change the Error page url to that of my cluster url(i.e)http://myIP:9191, the weblogic default page gets displayed .. I mean to say that the same url doesnot work with the WeblogicCluster parameter but works with
the ErrorPage parameter.
Somebody who has configured the front end host using apache http server please clarify, it would be of great help.
Thanks in advance

The error.log displays the following (sorry i forgot to add it above :-()

Weblogic virtual host configuration

Hi,
Can anyone explain to me what is virtual host.
what is the significance and purpose of the same.
in what scenario should we configure a virtual host.
and what is the benefit of the same.
from the documentation i did not understand the concept.
Thanks in advance.

I think this page is pretty clear. Does this help?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e13952/pagehelp/Corecorevirtualhosttabletitle.html
A virtual host is a set of host names to which WebLogic Server instances (servers) or clusters respond. When you use virtual hosting, you use DNS to specify one or more host names that map to the IP address of a server or cluster. You also specify which Web applications are served by each virtual host.

Apache-weblogic bridge problems with virtual hosting

Hi,
Can we set apache-weblogic bridge where apache webserver is configured
as virtual hosts and each Virtual Host is mapped to a WebLogic server
instance running on separate port ?
Please provide doc or reference or your comments if you have solved this
problem
Thanks
Shriniwas

The above comments notwithstanding, there's one outstanding line in your post that seems crucial:
Also if I type on my browser the name of another secondary (or virtual) domain name in the form http://domain2.com it brings the website hosted under the primary domain which is domain1.com. In case I type http://www.domain2.com than it works as it should and displays the website hosted under this domain name.
As far as Apache is concerned, 'domain2.com' and 'www.domain2.com' are completely separate entities. They have to be otherwise if all domain2.com traffic went to this site you'd never be able to host different sites within the domain (e.g. blogs.domain2.com, wiki.domain2.com, blah.domain2.com, etc.). In other words, there is no automatic relationship between a hostname and sub-records of that hostname.
So what's happening here is Apache is seeing a request for 'domain2.com' which does not match any of its configured virtual hosts, so it handles the request via the default site. If you request www.domain2.com this matches your virtual host configuration so Apache serves the alternate content.
The fix is simple - trivial, even - you just need to tell Apache all the hostnames that match this site - in this case if you've configured the site's primary address as 'www.domain2.com' and you want it to also respond to requests to 'domain2.com' then add 'domain2.com' to the list of Server Aliases in Server Admin.

Configuring default web apps for virtual hosts

Hi,
This posting is meant save time for anyone trying to specify a default web app
for each of their virtual hosts (as opposed to specifying a default web app for
each of their wl servers). This applies to weblogic 6.1, on NT. (I haven't tried
this on other platforms).
If you are trying to use the admin console to do this, give up. It's not possible.
The "Virtual Host/Configuration" window lets you specify everything about that
vhost configuration EXCEPT a default web app. (The "Default Web Application" drop
down menu will always have only one option to choose from: "none").
Instead, shutdown your server, and edit your domain's config.xml file manually.
Attached is an example config file that specifies that the web app "kz" should
be the default web app for the vhost "wl.kz.com", and that the web app "kahuna"
should be the default web app for the vhost "www.kahuna.com".
Hope this helps,

Webdav/virtual host configuration problem

Hi folks,
I have a web server behind firewall, which redirects port 80 to my server's internal IP, 192.168.6.222. I did setup 3 virtual domains there:
blogs.domain.com at *
wiki.domain.com at *
dav.domain.com at *
each site has different root and dav site has its own realm set.
I just found that virtual domains are not working and dav.domain.com doesn't work at all. When I switch dav.domain.com to 192.168.6.222, it eats all connections and even for blogs site shows login sheet.

Hi Simon
You are not doing anything wrong. Setting up a virtual host has obviously
worked as you can access it. You still have to specify the port number as
it is not running on the standard port 80 that your browser assumes if you
do not explicitly state it.
