Installing an Apache reverse proxy
is an easy alternative to the
JK 2 Connector
to use Apache as a front-end
to your Tomcat server.
Add to your Apache
(virtual) server configuration
(replace <hostname> with your hostname):
ProxyPass /tomcat/ http://<hostname>:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /tomcat/ http://<hostname>:8080/ ProxyPass /mmbase/ http://<hostname>:8080/mmbase-webapp/ ProxyPassReverse /mmbase/ http://<hostname>:8080/mmbase-webapp/
This allows you to access your
Tomcat server
as
(replace <hostname> with your hostname):
http://<hostname>/tomcat/
and your MMBase server as
(replace <hostname> with your hostname):
http://<hostname>/mmbase/
Our MMBase version 1.7 installation used
absolute directory paths in the web pages it generated.
In order to get the reverse proxies to work properly,
the Apache proxy paths had to be the same
(replace <hostname> with your hostname):
ProxyPass /mmbase-webapp/ http://<hostname>:8080/mmbase-webapp/ ProxyPassReverse /mmbase-webapp/ http://<hostname>:8080/mmbase-webapp/
