Do you absolutely need proxypass? The way I do it is that I use
mod_jk... And you should be able to use mod_proxy for newer Apaches.

Folks;
so far I have enjoyed using JSPWiki internally for being an
unobtrusive
piece of software that, once installed, "just works". Right now,
however, after having spent quite an unsuccessful and extremely
unpleasant evening on this, I just wonder whether there's some sort of
documentation on how / whether it is possible to get JSPWiki
running in
a tomcat container set up to behave well behind an apache2 reverse
proxy
in one of many virtual hosts. So far, I spent some hours both with our
stock 2.4 and with an updated 2.6 installation, playing with various
parameters in jspwiki.properties as well as the apache2 rewriting /
proxy configuration but haven't had too much success so far.
- Generally, I wanted to have all requests to /internal/wiki/
proxy-passed to our internalhost:8080/JSPWiki/ . I have so far barely
given up on that as, no matter what happens, no matter how I set up
JSPWiki (mainly baseURL and referenceStyle), in quite a bunch of
situations (redirect after successful login, redirect after saving
files, ...) the request seems to be redirected to
/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp?page= ... . Strange, but so far I helped myself
making
/JSPWiki available to the outside world on this machine directly,
hoping
for the best.
- However, still all is not well. Looking at the redirect behaviour
(mainly following any login and/or save-file-from-editor attempt), it
seems that JSPWiki does not just redirect to an URL having /
JSPWiki/...
hardcoded in it but also does redirect to an URL on a wholly different
(non-HTTPS) VirtualHost on the same apache2, which doesn't know about
JSPWiki and, subsequently, makes me end up elsewhere. Strange, as
well.
- Overally: I am confused. All I do by now seems trial-and-error as
both
some more complex mod_rewrite tricks did fail as well as pretty much
anything including jspwiki.properties configuration. So far it runs
on a
non-HTTPS virtual host being directly exposed as JSPWiki, and does
more
or less good this way, yet being way off the setup I intended to
do. Can
some kind soul out here point me where to have a look to get at
least a
clue what could be broken here, and, subsequently, how to get it
fixed?
Thanks a bunch in advance, best regards.
