I will try to use the ProxyPass directive. I think I tried that first
and ran into a limitation that I want to do three things:
1) only redirect if the requests starts with /backoffice-production
2) if #1 then redirect to jboss on port 9009 if the url ends with *.its
3) otherwise redirect to tomcat on port 8009
Does ProxyPass accept wildcards? I'll give it a try here shortly.
If there is a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do in those
three requirements without using rewriting, I would appreciate a
pointer. I had searched the lists for similar criteria and thought
Rewriting was the way to go.
The following are the all the entries I added to get this to work
without any VirtualHost blocks. Now I'm trying to get it to work with
VirtualHosts. Here are all the changes I made to the stock httpd.conf
file (beyond standard things like ServerName and DocumentRoot).
<part of httpd.conf>
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 5
RewriteLog "rewrite.log"
######### JBoss
#example URL some.domain.com/backoffice-production/some/path/edit.its
#example URL other.domain.com/backoffice-production/other/path/edit.its
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /backoffice-production/(.*).its(.*)
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ajp://localhost:9009/$1 [P]
#example URL some.domain.com/backoffice-production/js/functions.js
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /backoffice-production/js(.*)
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ajp://localhost:9009/$1 [P]
######### TOMCAT
#example URL some.domain.com/backoffice-production/other/path2/edit.jsf
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /backoffice-production(.*)
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ajp://localhost:8009/$1 [P]
</part of httpd.conf>
Thanks,

Well, you may need Rewrite or you may not.. but for the immediate problem
below have you checked into using the ProxyPass directives outside of
the VirtualHost blocks?
...something along the lines of
ProxyPass /ajp://localhost:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://domain.com:8009

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Location of rewrite rules when using mod_proxy in
2.2
I am about to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.2.
Our current configuration is pretty simple. We have a couple of
virtual hosts and are using mod_jk to talk to 3 applications in
Tomcat. The mod_jk rules are not in a VirtualHost but are in the top
level of the http.conf file. This setup allows any domain to use the
application. An example of the configuration is:
#[jboss]
JkMount /backoffice-demo/faces* worker2
#[tomcat]
JkMount /backoffice-demo* worker1
Since we are moving to 2.2, we decide to move to mod_proxy_ajp.
However, the rewrite rules seem to have to be in a VirtualHost block
in order to work. If we have them at the top level (not in a
VirtualHost) block, they are never executed. Is there a way to have a
set of rewrite rules apply to ALL requests regardless of the requested
host domain?
An example of the rewrite rule is (just in case it makes a difference):
#[jboss]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /backoffice-demo/faces(.*)
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ajp://localhost:9009/$1 [P]
#[tomcat]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /backoffice-local(.*)
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ajp://localhost:8009/$1 [P]
These work great if there are not any VirtualHosts or if they are in a
VirtualHost. However, we want any domain that this server handles to
be able to use these rewrites.
TIA,
Chris....
