Tip

Start with a Tomcat bundle of your choice, for a selection of bundles see list of preconfigured Magnolia bundles. If you want to test multisite scenarios, choose an EE pro bundle (such as magnolia-enterprise-pro-demo-bundle).

If want to get rid of the demo modules to start with a virginal vanilla multisite module - remove the appropriate modules before you start the bundle for the first time. (On magnolia-enterprise-pro-demo-bundle delete the modules starting with magnolia-travel* from the folder magnolia-enterprise-x.y.z/apache-tomcat-8.5.5/webapps/magnoliaAuthor/WEB-INF/lib).

Before following the steps explained below, start the bundle as usual, to make sure both webapps magnoliaAuthor and magnoliaPublic are installed and work properly.

See line 37ensures the context magnoliaAuthor is served from root. Note that Tomcat can only serve : Added <Context> directive.

Tomcat can serve only one webapp from root within the same

...

host and within the same service.

It works.

However, since now we have only one context served from root. 

...

  • Lines 3-4: author.best-comics.net redirects to localhost on port 8080
    => webapp magnoliaAuthorauthor instance
  • Lines 9-10, 15-16: www.best-comics.net and www.best-vinyl.net are redirected to localhost on port 8081
    => => webapp magnoliaPublicpublic instance
  • The lines configuring the log files of the virtual hosts have been removed to keep this configuration excerpt small.

...

  • Create the folder webapps2.
  • Move the webapp magnoliaPublic to webapps2.
  • You may want delete the webapp ROOT, you won't be able to access it anymore.
