For our example let's assume the domain is domain.com, the web application is app1 (app1.war) and the appserver is apache-tomcat-7.0.5

1) Update nameservers at registrar if needed and add the domain to your control panel as either addon domain or parked domain

2) Map domain.com (use default mappings) to your application server using JVM control panel (JVMCP) https://jvmcp.gemini.jvmhost.com/

3) Login to your account via SSH and edit ~/appservers/apache-tomcat-7.0.5/conf (mcedit and nano are simple editors)

cd ~/appservers/apache-tomcat-7.0.5/conf

mcedit server.xml

3a) Add new virtual host entry just before last '' tag

www.domain.com

prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"

pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" resolveHosts="false"/>

3b) If you previously put app1.war into webapps directory Tomcat should have deployed the application

but make sure your application files are indeed deployed to ~/appservers/apache-tomcat-7.0.5/webapps/app1 directory.

4) Restart your tomcat via JVM control panel (JVMCP) https://jvmcp.gemini.jvmhost.com/ or with 'jr' shell command
