Hi Sebastien,

I've got my JBoss 4.2 server running and I managed to configure one virtual
host with mod_jk to get to it without having to enter the 8080 port.Here is
my VirtualHost configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName myserver.com
JkMount /* loadbalancer
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/myserver-error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/myserver-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
So no when I access the JIRA application installed on this server, I can do
it either from http://myserver.com:8080/jira or from
http://myserver.com/jira
Now I would like to be able to skip the jira suffix and access this same
application from http://myserver.com, but without making JIRA the home
application on my JBoss server.
Is that possible? How can I do that?
Use mod_rewrite in Apache httpd and a configuration similar to:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /jira/$1 [PT]
and
JkMount /jira|* loadbalancer
(JkMount /* would do it to, but is less precise).
If you want mod_jk to act after an internal rewrite, you need to use the
"PT" flag in the RewriteRule.
If it doesn't work, add a RewriteLog and see, what your RewriteRules are
actually doing.
A totally different approach would be, to deploy the jira webapp as the
so-called ROOT context in Tomcat. Then it would be reachable via
http://myserver.com:8080/ and thus also via http://myserver.com/ by the
same JkMount /*. Although all applications should be freely eployable
under any context name, not all are actually. So you would need to
experiment, if you can deploy jira as ROOT webapp. Using the ROOT webapp
for normal production is not recommendable in general, because if you
always deploy your webapps as ROOT, you will no longer be able to share
a Tomcat instance for multiple webapps (at least not in the same host),
and secondly the ROOT context catches all requests, that do not map to
any other webapp, so is generally also a good indicator if something is
going wrong.
Have fun,
Rainer
