Just in case anyone is interested, I managed to figure this one out. The scenario was I had installed OpenBD for IIS7 using the installer. It worked just fine. I installed Apache as well on port 81 and it installed properly.
The problem was that I could not connect apache using passthrough to the existing tomcat installation. The wiki instructs you to use the default configuration of tomcat of 8080 However when you use the iis7 installer it configures tomcat to use port 8888. Changing the ports in my virtual hosts settings to port 8888 solved the problem. Ps: I also managed to get x-sendfile to work as well. It needed the x-sendfile directives to be listed in the virtual hosts settings of apache and not the httaccess file. I now have iis7 on port 80 still operating and apache on port 81 where I can now do the file transfer development without interrupting existing operation.

I have a working installation of OpenBD v1.2 on Windows and IIS7 that I installed using the viviotech installer. It works just fine for our simple application. I now wish to move to the Apache for windows web server so that I can utilize the X-SendFile functionality that IIS does not have. Since this is a working server I installed Apache on port 81 and am trying to connect it to the tomcat server via passthrough in apache. I am also trying to keep IIS functioning on port 80 while I get this to work before I switch over but being relatively unfamiliar with OpenBD/Tomcat and Apache I am having trouble. I have apache running and serving files from the proper directory (same as the IIS directory) however I can't seem to connect to the tomcat server. Once I add the virtual host information to Apache that the wiki instructs I get a 503 error on all requests. In my Tomcat server.xml file I have: which works for IIS7 <Host Name="dl3.halomaps.org: appbase="webapps"> <Contextpath="" docbase="c:\webs\files" /> </Host> Since I am using the same path I assumed it would also work for apache, so in My Apache conf file I have <VirtualHost *:81> ServerName dl3.halomaps.org ProxyPass / http://dl3.halomaps.org:8080/ ProxyPassreverse / http://dl3.halomaps.org:8080/ HostnameLookups Off </VirtualHost> I am assuming that tomcat should not care which web server it is getting the request from but I have been wrong many times before <smile>. Can anyone with more knowledge with these products assist me or point me to what I am doing wrong? Thank you. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website Design and Hosting Company P.O.
