USING ROBOHELP SERVER 8
Managing the server
Creating contexts or multiple websites
You can host different Help systems by creating multiple contexts in Tomcat. Contexts refer to websites, where a
project can be published. You can configure different instances of RoboHelp Server (on a single installation) to run on
each of these contexts. These contexts run on the same IP address and port number but with different context names.
By default, RoboHelp Server 8 creates a single context called
robohelp
. You can create another context from
Configuration Manager.

Create a context using Configuration Manager
You can create contexts to publish projects from RoboHelp HTML.
1
Select Start > Programs > Adobe > Adobe RoboHelp Server 8 > Configuration Manager.
2
Select File > New Context.

Specify new context name and a directory name. For example, you can have robohelp2 as the new context name
and rh2 as the directory name.
Note:
To open an existing context, you can select File > Open Context.
4
Click OK.
Note:
After creating a context, Configuration manager starts the Tomcat service automatically.
Update uriworkermap.properties for IIS
If you have configured Tomcat to run with IIS, update
uriworkermap.properties
to map the new context path to
the
ajp
connector.
/robohelp/*=ajp13
/robohelp=ajp13
/robohelp2/*=ajp13
/robohelp2=ajp13
Note:
With Tomcat configured with Apache, if you configure Tomcat to auto-generate the mapping file, mapping for new
context is automatically added to
<tomcat-path>\conf\auto\mod_jk.conf
.
