Re: 301 permanent redirects in Apache + Tomcat using mod_jk (solved partly)
Finally I figured it out! I had to read about VirtualHost and
NameVirtualHost in the Apache manual, which I was trying to avoid. :)
Here's my final configuration. I have used both RewriteMatch and
mod_rewrite (just to to remind myself it can also be done both ways).
For now, I have chosen not to worry about serving static content
through Apache.
Thanks for all the help Francis! :)

Re: 301 permanent redirects in Apache + Tomcat using mod_jk (solved partly)
Francis,
I have followed your suggestion of using a VirtualHost but also made
use of a suggestion I found on a website which talked about putting
mod_rewrite rules inside the VirtualHost element along with the
JkMount command inside. And wow! it works great. :)) Thank you!
The only thing that's still unsolved is how do I redirect aboutus.html
permanently to aboutus.jsp (and 9 more such pages). I can follow the
same concept and put all those rules inside the VirtualHost, but I was
wondering if that would have performance implications? Is there anyway
I can .htaccess into play?
Thanks,
Shashi

Your's is not a comprehensive/clean solution. We also moved about 10

So what would really help me is a URL rewriting module/plug-in like
mod_rewrite.
Please clarify. What are these 10 links? Individual files or whole
directories/webapps?
Also, have you considered mod_proxy (ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse)?

Re: 301 permanent redirects in Apache + Tomcat using mod_jk
Thanks for the quick reply, Francis! My httpd.conf file doesn't have a single VirtualHost defined because I am using mod_jk to forward all the requests to Tomcat. Otherwise I understand how your solution would have worked. :) I have alternate solution that involves changing Tomcat's server.xml (which I've outlined below). However, its not as clean as using mod_rewrite.

My httpd.conf file doesn't have a single VirtualHost defined because I am using mod_jk to forward all the requests to Tomcat. Well, I use mod_jk AND vitural hosts. Even though, in most cases, the hostname of the server is its real FQDN! mod_jk and VitrtualHosts are NOT incompatible. Meh, I even have my Host defined as only responding to localhost! -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] When it comes to performance, weight is everything - Tiff Needell - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 301 permanent redirects in Apache + Tomcat using mod_jk
2008/4/11, Shashidhar Rampally [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Francis, I placed the following in httpd.conf. However, the next time I visited xyz.com, it took me to Tomcat home page. VirtualHost xyz.com:80 DocumentRoot /not/a/valid/folder ServerName xyz.com RedirectMatch Permanent /(.*) http://www.xyz.com/$1 /VirtualHost VirtualHost www.xyz.com:80 DocumentRoot /usr/lib/apache-tomcat/webapps/xyz/ ServerName www.xyz.com /VirtualHost Your's is not a comprehensive/clean solution. We also moved about 10 links. So I also wish to permanently redirect these HTML pages too. So what would really help me is a URL rewriting module/plug-in like mod_rewrite. Please clarify. What are these 10 links? Individual files or whole directories/webapps? Also, have you considered mod_proxy (ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse)? -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] When it comes to performance, weight is everything - Tiff Needell - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 301 permanent redirects in Apache + Tomcat using mod_jk
Francis, Sorry if I offended you. Those links are www.xyz.com/specsheets.html - www.xyz.com/specsheet.jsp www.xyz.com/aboutus.html - www.xyz.com/aboutus.jsp www.xyz.com/mission/mission.html moved to www.xyz.com/mission.jsp etc. No, I do know anything about mod_proxy. I will look into it right away.
