Hello -- I'm trying to setup Apache 2.0.50 and Tomcat 4.1.30 together, with requests relayed from Apache to Tomcat using mod_proxy. (We've been using mod_jk for many months, but have observed random, hard-to-reproduce flakiness, so I'm investigating the possibility of dropping mod_jk in favour of mod_proxy.)
Everything works fine as long as I set proxyName and proxyPort in the <Connector> element, eg.: <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" address="127.0.0.1" port="8180" proxyName="servername" proxyPort="80" minProcessors="1" maxProcessors="5" acceptCount="5" debug="0" connectionTimeout="30000"/> (Without those, redirects didn't work: a request for "/foo" should have been redirected to "http://servername.domain/foo/", but was actually redirected to "http://localhost:8180/foo/", because Tomcat had no clue what hostname was used by the outside world.) No problem, right? Well, there is: we install Apache and Tomcat on hundreds of servers at dozens of customer sites, and manually editing server.xml to set the server hostname every time we setup or upgrade a server is not an option. For Apache, we have this line in httpd.conf: Include conf/servername.conf and create servername.conf at installation time like this: echo "ServerName" `hostname` > conf/servername.conf This works like a charm, at least until the server changes names. ;-) So I'd like to cook up something like this for Tomcat. I suppose I could hold my nose and install a default server.xml that looks like this: <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" address="127.0.0.1" port="8180" proxyName="@SERVERNAME@" proxyPort="80" minProcessors="1" maxProcessors="5" acceptCount="5" debug="0" connectionTimeout="30000"/> and then do some sed magic at installation time, but, well, blecchhhh. Surely there's a better way! Ideas?
