Hi, I have a problem with configuring mod_proxy_ajp to access Tomcat5 through Apache2. My setup:
CentOS release 5.4 (Final) httpd-2.2.3-31.el5.centos.4 tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_3.2 I have in /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf: <Location /tomcat/> ProxyPass ajp://localhost:8009/ ProxyPassReverse ajp://localhost:8009/ </Location> i.e., I want all my Tomcat webapps accessible behind a /tomcat location. Now if I try ------------ cut ----------------- cut -------------- >wget http://copper/tomcat/admin --2010-05-04 15:11:30-- http://copper/tomcat/admin Resolving copper... 10.156.31.49 Connecting to copper|10.156.31.49|:80... connected.

To alleviate this I tried to modify the AJP connector in web.xml: <Connector port="8009" proxyName="copper/tomcat" proxyPort="80" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" /> It seems to work better however I receive "HTTP Status 408, he time allowed for the login process has been exceeded" which seems to indicate the cookie is not transmitted correctly. This could be related to the "Attempt to fake the path" that is shown by wget: ------------ cut ----------------- cut -------------- 4MAL00298:~/test>wget -d http://copper/tomcat/admin/ DEBUG output created by Wget 1.11.4 on cygwin. --2010-05-04 15:19:16-- http://copper/tomcat/admin/ Resolving copper... 10.156.31.49 Caching copper => 10.156.31.49 Connecting to copper|10.156.31.49|:80... connected.

Is this all because I want my URL to be slighlty rewritten? Does nobody ever do that? Thanks for your help, Chris
