Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

It looks like there is a filter you can use to achieve this with tomcat: http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

I have never tried it though.

I don't think you can add rewrite rules to tomcat..

If you do decide to use apache httpd, I would thoroughly recommend
reading the apache httpd documentation as mis-configuring can lead to
security holes.

Cheers,

Chris

How can I add rewrite rules to the Tomcat which is embedded in Ofbiz?

Do I need Apache to do this?

Thanks in advance

You dont need the Apache web server if your setup is really not that
complex. Tomcat is embedded in the OFbiz and you can simply change the ports (from 8080 to 80 and 8443 to 443) in ofbiz-containers.xml file. If
you are running already a Apache HTTPD and cant use the port 80 in
OFBiz, I would suggest you to use AJP/Proxy. It is simple to configure.
You can search mail archives and wiki to get some pointers. There is
also documentation on Apache HTTPD site.
Be careful about ProxyPassReverse as it is bit tricky. Have a look on my
blogs on how to use ProxyPassReverseCookiesPath and ProxyPassReverse
directive

(http://www.viithiisys.com/web/raj/blog/-/blogs/apache-proxypassreverse-dire

Thanks,

Raj

No I have built an ecommerce application which is up and running in
development and now I would like to move it a production server.  My
understanding of it was Apache/Tomcat is built into ofbiz and simply
starting ofbiz everything is now ready.

I now need to add the rewrite modules.. I thought this config went into

the

ofbiz files somewhere which would then be picked up when ofbiz was
started... sounds like I was incorrect in this thinking.
It sounds as if I now need to first install Apache for windows/ Apache

httpd

and then deploy the app to apache?

Hi Len,
Are you just trying to get ofbiz up and running to try it out? If you
are just trying out ofbiz, you don't need to install apache httpd.

Cheers,

Chris

I guess I am a bit confused. I have not installed apache httpd... I am simply starting ofbiz on a windows server. Do I need to first install
Apache and the start ofbiz?

Hi Len
httpd.conf is a configuration file for the apache httpd application, not

for the ofbiz application.

What operating system are you running?  How did you install apache

httpd?


Cheers,

Chris

Yes, where is the httpd.conf file located? I do not see it within the

Ofbiz

source.  Am I missing these files?

Len,

What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to put apache httpd in

front of tomcat?

Cheers,
