Thanks Igal, but that doesn’t seem to work in my dev setup. This is what I did:
removed the host entry (blog.test) from server.xml and restarted Lucee/Tomcat,
created the following file: [lucee-install]/tomcat/conf/Catalina/blog.test/ROOT.xml containing:
<Context path="" docBase="[path to blog app root, same value as in the server.xml host entry]" />
But all I get is the generic Lucee welcome page regardless of whether I hit the site via Tomcat or the external web server (IIS).
I tried restarting Tomcat a second time, but it still didn’t pick up the configuration.
I also tried defining the CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE system environment vars which weren’t present (both pointing to [lucee-install]/tomcat/), but that didn’t make any difference either.
I like the idea of being able to script host creation as well as avoiding restarts though so perhaps I ought to learn how to do a standard Tomcat install and add Lucee to it.
