RE: [MOD_REWRITE] Why...
Hmmm, I don't think so, the facts are the facts: Tomcat (v3.2.3 on Linux) doesn't work with the actual rules I use for the mod_rewrite module (apache 1.3.20). And I precise, it works perfectly with JServ! I am a devlopper as many of you and don't think I'm the best ^_^; But can you then explain me why it doesn't work? I've look at the source and found a way to solve this problem so...what should I think? :) Regards too (for your answer :D) Loïc Lefèvre -Message d'origine- De : Francis Pallini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : jeudi 9 août 2001 15:42 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: [MOD_REWRITE] Why...

Re: [MOD_REWRITE] Why...
We found that we had to do 2 things: 1) Make sure that mod_jk was loaded into Apache *before* mod_rewrite, which meant moving the loading of mod_jk from mod_jk.conf to Apache's httpd.conf, and we listed it in the LoadModule and AddModule lists *before* mod_rewrite. That ensured that mod_rewrite got to the URL before mod_jk did. I'm now less convinced this is absolutely necessary--the next item may be more important. 2) Put the [PT] (passthrough) flag on all RewriteRule lines that were rewriting URLs to go to Tomcat. Also, one gotcha we hit was using the same pathname for both the incoming URLs and for the Tomcat context, e.g. http://ourhost/ContestSignup for the URL and /ContestSignup for the context path. It's better (maybe required) to use a different name for the context path, like /ContestSignupServlet. dwh Francis Pallini wrote: Hi, It sounds like you are a little sarcastic ;=) Regards, Francis Pallini At 11:25 AM 8/9/01 +0200, you wrote: Can anyone tell me why the when using the mod_rewrite module, Tomcat can't/don't seem to retrieve the rewritten url and args?

FYI, I find that both of these steps are in fact required. I tried just adding the [PT] flag to the rewrite rules, and it wasn't good enough. Cheers, bn

Indeed, phew I finally found someone with the same hemm...problem ;) Did you find a solution? Did you try to patch Tomcat? ;) Loïc Lefèvre -Message d'origine- De : Brett Neumeier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : jeudi 9 août 2001 17:37 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: [MOD_REWRITE] Why...

Re: [MOD_REWRITE] Why...
Uh... the solution is the 2 items in my response (load mod_jk before mod_rewrite, put [PT] on RewriteRules). dwh Loïc Lefèvre wrote: Indeed, phew I finally found someone with the same hemm...problem ;) Did you find a solution? Did you try to patch Tomcat? ;)
