Re: two virtual hosts pointing to same webapp?

Hi,

Do you have two separate webapps defined? I guess the problem is that  
they are using the same data directories. The issue here is then that  
upon startup both read the data from the database in memory but will  
write concurrently to it. Since SnipSnap works in memory with a write- 
through cache both webapps will load the same initial data and then  
corrupt the database. Make sure both use different databases.

If you want one singe snipsnap to be available under two different  
virtual hosts, make sure tomcat does start it twice. I don't know how  
to do that. We usually run snipsnap using jetty and then use apache  
as a reverse proxy handling the hosts.
