Sebastiaan,
Thanks very much, that helps a lot. It now works. Now that it's working I
want to switch it to use ajp instead of http.
I understand from your explanation how ProxyPreserveHost was breaking it.
However, when I switch to use ajp, I'm seeing the same behavior. I'm having
trouble understanding what tomcat is returning in terms of what I should
define as my ProxyPassReverse. Is there an easier way to debug this? Here
is how my virtualhost looks now:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName tiger
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /opt/www/
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / ajp://pabst:8009/web/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://pabst:8009/web/
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /web /
</VirtualHost>
I've tried a couple of variations of the ProxyPassReverse
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://pabst:8009/web/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://pabst/web/
ProxyPassReverse / http://pabst:8080/web/
ProxyPassReverse / http://pabst/web/
All have the same effect. Should this work?
