Hello -- I'm trying to setup Apache 2.0.50 and Tomcat 4.1.30 together,
with requests relayed from Apache to Tomcat using mod_proxy. (We've
been using mod_jk for many months, but have observed random,
hard-to-reproduce flakiness, so I'm investigating the possibility of
dropping mod_jk in favour of mod_proxy.)
Everything works fine as long as I set proxyName and proxyPort in the
<Connector> element, eg.:
<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
address="127.0.0.1" port="8180"
proxyName="servername" proxyPort="80"
minProcessors="1" maxProcessors="5"
acceptCount="5" debug="0" connectionTimeout="30000"/>
(Without those, redirects didn't work: a request for "/foo" should have
been redirected to "http://servername.domain/foo/";, but was actually
redirected to "http://localhost:8180/foo/";, because Tomcat had no clue
what hostname was used by the outside world.)
No problem, right? Well, there is: we install Apache and Tomcat on
hundreds of servers at dozens of customer sites, and manually editing
server.xml to set the server hostname every time we setup or upgrade a
server is not an option.
For Apache, we have this line in httpd.conf:
Include conf/servername.conf
and create servername.conf at installation time like this:
echo "ServerName" `hostname` > conf/servername.conf
This works like a charm, at least until the server changes names. ;-)
So I'd like to cook up something like this for Tomcat. I suppose I
could hold my nose and install a default server.xml that looks like
this:
<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
address="127.0.0.1" port="8180"
proxyName="@SERVERNAME@" proxyPort="80"
minProcessors="1" maxProcessors="5"
acceptCount="5" debug="0" connectionTimeout="30000"/>
and then do some sed magic at installation time, but, well, blecchhhh.
Surely there's a better way!
Ideas?
Greg
