Further to this I modified the httpd-vhosts.conf file, after discovering
that the main server will not serve the jkmount directives if virtual
hosts are active...hence the looping and no response...
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot d:/apache2/htdocs
ServerName fred.abc.co.uk
JkMount /app1/* worker1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot d:/apache2/htdocs
ServerName test.abc.co.uk
Redirect / http://fred.abc.co.uk/app1/
</VirtualHost>
This worked but I want to hide the redirect URL, so I tried using
proxypass as follows for the second virtual host...
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot d:/apache2/htdocs
ServerName test.abc.co.uk
ProxyPass / http://fred.abc.co.uk/app1/
ProxyPassReverse / http://fred.abc.co.uk/app1/
</VirtualHost>
This almost works, but it only appears to show the html content, not the
JSP. Does anybody have any suggestions how to make this work?

Subject: Named based virtual host redirection
Hi there
I'm doing some testing of redirection with a separate Apache web farm
serving front end redirection of specific tags to Tomcat server via an
ajp13 worker.
The problem I'm coming across is redirecting a DNS alias to a specific
tag on the same web server. I've been trying virtual host directives,
to no avail (the ajp13 redirection works for normal tags). The
configuration is as follows;
httpd.conf
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
JkShmFile logs/mod_jk.shm
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel info
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
JkMount /app1/* worker1
ServerName fred.abc.co.uk
DocumentRoot "D:/Apache2/htdocs"
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
httpd-vhosts.conf
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
DocumentRoot d:/apache2/htdocs
ServerName test.abc.co.uk
Redirect / http://fred.abc.co.uk/app1/
</VirtualHost>
workers.properties
worker.list=worker1
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=1.2.3.5
worker.worker1.port=8009
Now if I hit the http://fred.abc.co.uk/app1/ without the vhosts include,
the site comes up...great! If I include the vhosts, and try to hit
http://test.abc.co.uk <http://test.abc.co.uk/> without an appended
/app1/ tag (this is what I'm trying to achieve) to get the same site, I
get nothing at all....in fact, it times out. In the Apache web server
logs all I see is a recursive get on /app1/. Also, the original URL
does not work any more.
This seems to be a simple requirement but it is not proving to be
straightforward.
Can anybody help, or point me in the right direction?
