Re: Apache 2.2 to Tomcat 6 via proxy_ajp
Thanks for all of the replies. I had tried most of the suggestions previously, but things were still not working the way I wanted. Specifically I could get it to work if I was willing to using http://domain.com/appname, but not just http://domain.com/. I had seen the Tomcat virtual hosting documentation, but overall we kind of run a hybrid apache2 / apache tomcat environment so I needed to front end everything through Apache2 mod_proxy_ajp. It turns out I was *really* close and technically it was working. The Tomcat application (which is an Apache Wicket) was doing a redirect that made a working config seem broken. So here is my working (deemed working without major testing) for this specific application. Others may not require the Rewrite rule or may require a different rewrite rule. VirtualHost *:80 ServerName testproxy.domain.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/appname/(.*)$ http://testproxy.domain.com/$1 [L] ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/appname/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/appname/ Proxy * Order allow,deny Allow from all /Proxy ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/testproxy.domain.com-error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/testproxy.domain.com-access.log combined ServerSignature Off /VirtualHost Thanks to everyone who read or responded to this thread.

The wrench in the works is that we want to do virtual hosting through Apache and not have the appname appended to it. The Apache virtual hosted URL's will be the ones exposed to the public. For example if we developed an application called mycoolapp and we were deploying it at a website of the same name we would want the application to run at http://mycoolapp.com and not http://mycoolapp.com/mycoolapp. Inside your virtual host, something like: ProxyPass / http://tomcat.host:8080/mycoolapp/ ProxyPassReverse / http://tomcat.host:8080/mycoolapp/ should do the trick. What have you tried and what, exactly, didn't work? Mark - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

If anyone has suggestions or a working example any help is greatly appreciated.
