Hi Dave/Tiago,
Thank you for your help. I'm hoping you could clarify a few points for me...
1) I'm not aware of any URL rewriting going on (never enacted the
directives contained in the document Tiago provided). The only Apache
proxy directives are the two below. Could you please confirm these are
correct.
ProxyPass / ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/roller/christopher/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/roller/christopher/
The URL http://www.optomus.com:8080/roller/christopher worked fine, with
CSS loaded and page links working correctly, before I added 'absolute URL'
directives to roller-custom.properties. At this point, this URL ceased
working, but I understand this is normal. But I'm wondering whether the
two directives above should still contain "/roller/christopher/". I've
tried just "/roller/" and just "/christopher/", but this doesn't appear to
help the situation.
2) I don't think it is a problem with the Fauxcoli theme, as I have the
same problem with customised versions of the basic theme, as seen here:
http://blog.bread.co.nz
http://blog.capereinga.co.nz
http://blog.doubtlessbay.co
3) I'm a little fuzzy on what is meant by ROOT context. I simply produced
a WAR from your application, and copied roller.war into
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps. Tomcat automatically expanded and deployed it,
as you can see below.
optomus:~# ls /usr/local/tomcat/webapps
ROOT app.war examples manager optomus.war roller.war app docs
host-manager optomus roller
The ROOT directory contains the default Tomcat front page.
optomus:~# ls /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/
RELEASE-NOTES.txt asf-logo-wide.gif favicon.ico index.jsp tomcat.gif
WEB-INF build.xml index.html tomcat-power.gif tomcat.svg
Hoping there are some clues in the above so I can get this sorted. I
appreciate your assistance.
Thanks & regards,
Chris.
