'preciate the response, Tony. I've actually set this up both manually and using the GlassFish wizard (since from Cherokee's point of view, the application can be running on GlassFish or Tomcat and it makes no difference).
Unfortunately I'm still not getting this to work as it should. I get an error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080. The URL bar still has the address of the remote server that I specified. Something must be wrong with the load balancing itself, or maybe the ability for Cherokee to get the page that Tomcat is serving? I've confirmed that www.server.com:8080 works without issues (i.e., Tomcat is running). Unfortunately the Cherokee HTTP proxy is still not working. Ideas on how to troubleshoot this? -james On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 16:22, Tony Zakula <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi James, > > You need to create a http reverse proxy to your Java server with a > remote host of localhost:8080.
