Re: Apache and Tomcat port mapping
What I do is to use the Proxy Feature, I think a lot of others use a mod_ but Proxy takes 2 lines in your httpd.conf ProxyPass /equivhttp://insider:8080/equiv ProxyPassReverse /equiv http://insider:8080/equiv replace insider with the host that has your tomcat. If it's on the same host, localhost will work. xxx.mydomain.org/equiv is mapped internally to the tomcat (8080) on localhost At 04:59 AM 11/27/02, you wrote: I have recently installed Tomcat 3.3.1 along with Apache.
