To Access in the web

Hello Everybody!!!!!

I have developed a client server program which runs fine
i.e I can access the html page from the client system by typing

http://IPAddress:Portnumber if I have started tomcat on my server
Up to this I have no problem but instead of http://IPAddress:Portnumber
I want to type some name like www. xyz. com and access it on my client how can i do that???????


Please help me


Thanks,
raghu

Edit file conf/servers.xml in the path of your tomcat server folder.I think it is a HOST tag responsible,then also create webapps-<name of your host> folder.I will check today at my work my pc configuration and will post them.

Thanks for your reply!!!!!!
I have edited the server.xml and
changed
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps">
to <Host name=" www . hosting . com " appBase="webapps">
but it is not working
Thanks,

You should also edit hostname in your system.The default value is 127.0.0.1=localhost.so you should make it 127.0.0.1=hosting.com
The second stuff,You shouldn't edit the host tag,add another one,create then folder webapss-hosting,then when you deploy a war file into the folder бкутфьу it to ROOT

What OS do you use?

windows xp sp2
what do u mean by this
when you deploy a war file into the folder бкутфьу it to ROOT

Sorry,when you create a war file,move it into the webapps-hosting folder and then rename it to ROOT

My servers.xml has the following:

Code:

---

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

        <!-- SingleSignOn valve, share authentication between web applications
            Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html -->
        <!--
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" />
        -->

        <!-- Access log processes all example.
            Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html -->
        <!--
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" 
              prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
        -->

      </Host>
      <Host name="hosting"  appBase="webapps-hosting"
            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"/>
