I think it works nicely with winstone and the apache ajp proxy. I
have other things being proxied by the same apache front end so I set
both the jenkins url path and the ajp port for jenkins. With the
RHEL/Centos rpm package you can do this in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins with
a line like:
JENKINS_ARGS="--prefix=/jenkins --ajp13Port=8010"
and then add this to /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf:
ProxyPass /jenkins/ ajp://localhost:8010/jenkins/
Other distos may put the config changes in different places.
Also, I made an empty directory /var/www/html/jenkins as a quick fix
so the default apache settings would send a redirect if you omit the
trailing slash on /jenkins/. There is probably a cleaner way to
accomplish that...
