Hello all
I am new to the list. This is what i am trying to do but need help on:
I have a webapp running on tomcat 8: https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp
I am going to set up a DNS record myapp.example.com which will point to the
IP address of the tomcat server that hosts the webapp.. I want this new DNS
record myapp.example.com to redirect to https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp.
In other words, I want the URL to redirect port 80 to the URL for the
webapp automatically so the users will not have to enter in the port number
whenever they want to browse to the webapp. I tried doing research on
google and I was not able to find a straight forward way of doing this. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
The first thing you would have to check, is whether port 80 is still free on that server,
or if there is already another webserver (e.g. Apache httpd) using it.
The second thing to clarify is whether, apart from "myapp", there are other web
applications (not called "myapp") which you are running or would want to run under Tomcat
on that server.
If not, then you might want to run your application as the *default* application, so that
users would get to it with the URL "https://myapp.example.com:8443/";, instead of
"https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp";.
To do this first, have a look at :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo
and look at #17 : How do I make my web application be the tomcat default
application
It will just be easier if you clear up the above points first, because there are multiple
possibilities, and it narrows down the scope of the tips we can provide.
