So in that case those apps must also be generating URL at context root /app1 and relative to it. If 2 of your applications start generating URIs which begin with / and not /app1 or /app2 then I think even you will need a different ServerName or DNS entry so that send that request which forwards the root of site in ProxyPass to internal machine. I am very sure this situation depends upon how the application is generating URLs. -- http://mightydreams.blogspot.com -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
how to do auto redirection of a tomcat application
I have a site http://social.openitup.in right now what you are seeing is a default Tomcat6 page. I am using mod_ajp as a front end and Apache vhost configuration for same is VirtualHost *:80 ServerName social.openitup.in ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ProxyRequests off Proxy * Order deny,allow Allow from all /Proxy ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/ /VirtualHost How ever I have an application running on it http://social.openitup.in/olat what I want to do is when some one opens http://social.openitup.in then rather than seeing Tomcat6 home page from /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/index.html the person is redirected to olat application which is in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/olat how can this be achived? The machine where OLAT is and where the above Reverse Proxy configuration is are physically different machines. -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

The machine where OLAT is and where the above Reverse Proxy configuration is are physically different machines. Hi Tapas, We're using straight http, rather than ajp for proxying to our tomcat servers (though I'm hoping to transition at some stage), so your mileage may vary depending on if ajp does anything unusual in relation to ProxyPass. You may find its as simple as doing this: ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat However, it depends on the java app underneath it. Some of the apps we run in our tomcat hosting environment can be picky if the URI (bit after the first / after the domain in the URL) is different from what the application expects. What we tend to do is use a rewrite: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ /olat/ [redirect,last] The have our proxypass lines: ProxyPass /olat ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat ProxyPassReverse /olat ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat That means when someone browses to http://social.openitup.in/ they will automatically be redirected to http://social.openitup.in/olat Paul -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

Hi Tapas, We're using straight http, rather than ajp for proxying to our tomcat servers (though I'm hoping to transition at some stage), Ok so the rule which you mentioned What we tend to do is use a rewrite: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ /olat/ [redirect,last] The have our proxypass lines: ProxyPass /olat ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat ProxyPassReverse /olat ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat you use RewriteRule in combination with ProxyPass. I just want to know this for sake of understanding. I solved the current problem by renaming the application in webapps /var/lib/tomcat6/webapp/olat to /var/lib/tomcat6/webapp/ROOT and it worked you can check http://olat.openitup.in let me know if you use ReWriteRule in combination with ProxyPass directive. -- http://mightydreams.blogspot.com -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
