Can anyone tell us more about this?
None of my links work after I have set up the proxypass stuff in Apache. I
want the site to just be http://www.mysite.com/index.html. It seems the
links to images, css, video (anything) don't work after setting up a
proxypass. I don't want to have the /magnoliaPublic/ within the my sites
URL.
Proxypass / http://www.mystite.com:8080/magnoliaPublic
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.mysite.com/8080/magnoliaPublic
The below email seems to be trying to explain what is happening here- but I
can seem to get my head around it... Do I need to add a file to
'/magnoliaPublic/WEB-INF'? something called context.xml maybe? I looked this
up online and got a lot of info, but nothing saying much. Would be great to
get this all cleared up so we can deploy live sites over Apache.
If anyone could help that would be great.

Anthony can you provide the whole settings you have done. An Apache guru may take a look at that and
provide the answer.

I have found this article describing something that fits your scenario:
http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2000/article147.shtml
Please also double check that your settings in Apache are correct (as the above 2 lines are
containing 2 errors):
ProxyPass / http://www.mystite.com:8080/magnoliaPublic
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.mystite.com:8080/magnoliaPublic
(ProxyPass and on ProxyPassReverse :8080 instead of /8080).
let us know about your advance,
./alex

Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] get site URL's to work without needing
'/magnoliaAuthor/' or '/magnoliaPublic/'?
1) Tomcat's standard deployment in version 5 allows one of two ways of
supplying a ResourceLink. First, you can write a file named context.xml
in the META-INF folder of your war file which only contains the
<Context> element, it's attributes and content. No need to bother with
DTD or schema declarations or even the <?xml version="1.0"?> line at the
beginning. When tomcat deploys the war file, this file will be copied
to tomcat's config/Catalina/localhost folder and renamed to match your
webapp. For example, if the webapp is in magnoliaAuthor.war, the
context file will become magnoliaAuthor.xml. Alternately, if you are
deploying an expanded folder, just place the xml file directly in
config/Catalina/localhost and name it after the webapp as described above.
2) You can use the special name ROOT to indicate the root context -- the
one without a webapp name. In this case, the context xml file will have
a path attribute of "" (empty string) in the <Context> element and leave
out the docbase attribute. An example URL to the ROOT context will be
http://localhost:8080/.magnolia/adminCentral.html for the admin section
of the app. If you have this setup as the public instance and the same
tomcat has magnoliaAuthor, magnoliaAuthor will still receive any
requests that are of the form
http://localhost:8080/magnoliaAuthor/some/path.html even if there is an
equivalent in the ROOT webapp.
