Hi Bugra,
We achieved a sort of workaround in the end. I amended the server.xml
file within Tomcat with
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443"
proxyName="host"
proxyPort="80" />
where only the last two items are new. The relevant lines in the
httpd.conf were changed to
ProxyPass /webapp http://localhost:8080/webapp
<http://localhost:8080/webapp>
ProxyPassReverse /webapp http://localhost:8080/webapp
<http://localhost:8080/webapp>
I also changed the name of the .WAR file itself to "webapp.war". The
combination of these steps means that the webapp is accessible via
http://host/webapp, and the search works properly. It's not pretty but
it works! The only problem really with this is that with the above
configuration it is no longer possible to use http://localhost to view
the app directly.
I agree there is probably some subtlety to how the search code forms
URLs that would fix this issue more fully. I'm afraid I'm not sure what
it is though!
I should also point out that our httpd.conf also deals with static wikis
using a similar virtual host setup to the one you attached. The
ProxyPass pertaining to the webapp was appended to the file.
Hope you make some progress, and of course I'll update the community if
we come up with a better solution in the future.
Matt

Hi Matthew,
yes, I have been experiencing the same problem and couldn't found a
solution up to now... I have been told that the issue lies on the
reverse proxy, but I'm still convinced that the issue actually lies in
the EPF search code rather than on Apache configuration.
below are my configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName host
ServerAlias host.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/host
ServerAdmin u...@host.com
ErrorLog logs/host_error_log
CustomLog logs/host_access_log custom
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/host/
ProxyPassReverse / http://host.com/
</VirtualHost>
if you should be able to find a solution I would appreciate any help.
cheers,
bugra.

Hello all,
We're experiencing a new issue, this time with the webapp
version of the wiki.
As background, the webapp is being deployed on a server using
Apache Tomcat, and we are using Apache HTTP to redirect traffic from
http://our-site/webapp <http://our-site/webapp> to
http://localhost:8080/OurWebApp/ <http://localhost:8080/OurWebApp/> ,
which is where it's actually being hosted.
The webapp deploys fine and everything appears to work until the
search functionality is used. The search window opens fine, and a search
can be successfully performed (i.e. you get a list of element titles and
descriptions). But - the associated images and the titles of elements
come with links back to http://localhost:8080/OurWebApp
<http://localhost:8080/OurWebApp> rather than http://our-site/webapp
<http://our-site/webapp> , and hence the page cannot be found. We have
both a ProxyPass and a ProxyPassReverse in the httpd.conf script, but I
think the URL is being formed independent of the Apache redirect by one
of the Javascripts (topnav.js or toc.js maybe?). I'm really not sure how
to force it to change the URL.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a solution?
Many thanks
Matt
