Hi John, Give this a try...
To get to your application via Apache (as a proxy) you will need to configure Apache to pass the request/response via Tomcat by specifying where to go when it sees that you are asking for the specific web application. Create a new file [apache home directory]/conf/myproxy.conf In this file add these 2 proxy entries (port # is for Tomcat 4): ProxyPass /MyFirst/HelloWorld/ http://localhost:8080/MyFirst/HelloWorld ProxyPassReverse /MyFirst/HelloWorld/ http://localhost:8080/MyFirst/HelloWorld Now reference this new file in your httpd.conf file located in ...[apache home directory]/conf/ by adding the following entry at the bottom of the file: include conf/myproxy.conf Restart apache james -----Original Message----- From: John Archbold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 4:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Apache + Tomcat socket error Hello everyone, I have a simple (probably) yet difficult problem that i cant seem to fix. I installed apache (from source) and tomcat (from binary) and i compiled the jakarta connector as one should. If i issue http://localhost:8080/ i get the tomcat homepage if i issue http://localhost/ i get apache. I followed instructions from a website to set all this up you see. I even managed to compile a servlet and get it working if i issue http://localhost:8080/MyFirst/HelloWorld yet if i issue http://localhost/MyFirst/HelloWorld it is not visible, it says the resource is busy etc. I have noticed tho that the socket file that is specified to be created is infact not being created, ive tried changing the location of the socket file and even using touch to create it. Nothing seems to work. I expect this is some novice problem and im just missing something out. Can anyone help? Many many thanks (ive been trying for weeks to sort this out!)
