Hi all,
I've setup tomcat and apache on my workstation, and unpacked the contents of the coldfusion 9 war file to my application root. I have added Host in server.xml and can browse to http://mysite.dev:8080 and everything runs fine. looks like this <Host name="mysite.dev" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Context path="" docBase="C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Eclipse Workspace\mysite" /> </Host> So i then wanted to connect apache to tomcat, so i've setup apache with a virtualhost <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Eclipse Workspace\mysite" ServerName mysite.dev ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/ RewriteEngine On # If it's a CFML (*.cfc or *.cfm) request, just proxy it to Tomcat: RewriteRule ^(.+\.cf[cm])$ ajp://localhost:8009$1 [P] </VirtualHost> Ok so this seems to work, apart from one really annoying snag. in the coldfusion war theres a directory call CFIDE which contains amongst other things the administrator. I can browse to http://mysite.dev:8080/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and it happily shows me the login screen, however if it try to access that directory through apache it sends me the source code for the file. This only happens with that directory, content from other directories including others under /CFIDE are served correctly. And to make it even more confusing, replace /CFIDE/administrator with an empty directory, restart tomcat & apache it still serves up the same source file. I have mod_rewrite logging turned on and when i hit /CFIDE/administrator/ via apache nothing appears in the access or rewrite log, its like the request completely bypasses apache and tomcat... Hope this is the right place to ask, as i'm not sure what the real source of this problem is. Cheers, Chris
