Is there any way I connect Apache to Tomcat using an HTTP proxy such that Tomcat gets the correct incoming host name rather than localhost? I'm using this directive in apache: ProxyPass /path http://localhost:8080/path But it comes through as localhost, which is useless when we have a bunch of sites on the same server. I could set the...
I am trying to setup a server with multiple web applications which will all be served through apache VirtualHost (apache running on the same server). My main constrain is that each web application must use SSL encryption. After googling for a while and looking other questions on stackoverflow, I wrote the following configuration for the ...
Hi I have two instances of Tomcat 6 with content accessible via HTTP and HTTPS for other pages. I have configured the instances this way: 1) Instance one to listen on port 8080(Http) and 8443(Https) 2) Instance two to listen on port 7080(Http) and 7443(Https) I have mod_proxy configured with Apache 2.2 to do clustering.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using *mod_jk* and *mod_proxy* for fronting a tomcat instance with apache? I've been using mod_jk in production for years but I've heard that it's "the old way" of fronting tomcat. Should I consider changing? Would there be the benefits? thanks ...
Hi folks, I currently try to implement a simple HTTP-server for some kind of comet-technique (long polling XHR-requests). As JavaScript is very strict about crossdomain requests I have a few questions: As I understood any apache worker is blocked while serving a request, so writing the "script" as a usual website would block the apach...
I have both Apache 2 and JBoss 4.2.3 on the same machine and would like both of them to use port 80. There are several ways I see people doing this mod_jk, mod_proxy, but I'm not sure which one is the best. I don't need any load balancing, but I do need HTTPS. ...
Hello, I am using Tomcat 5.5.9 and Apache 2.x We are trying to use a path name in ProxyPass that is different than the Tomcat context name.

(I must be dense - I just can't figure out the Apache documentation on how to do this.) To speed up some swf development I'm doing, I want to have my local machine fetch my local swf when I browse to our studio's test website. Just the one local swf only - with the rest pulled from the test website. So I set up apache on port 80 with m...
We have an Apache server accepting connections through mod_proxy from random computers with bad internet connections in Africa. We would like to know how many of these connections are attempted (and fail, or are truncated) as possible. How do we set up such logging in mod_proxy? All the other threads I've found online imply that mod_pro...
I am using the Apache Proxy balancer directive to hook up a set of thin servers (for Rails). Like so: <Proxy balancer://thinservers> BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:5000 route=thin0 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:5001 route=thin1 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:5002 route=thin2 </Proxy> However, thin can also be conf...

I have an Apache web server with basic authentication enabled at the root directory. I can't change this due to business restrictions. However, we want a particular URL to be a proxy to a different site, with different authentication, without being asked for authentication by the main site. Example: My site is http://foo.com/ If you g...
Hello, I have been trying to figure this out for about 2 hours now. A new requirement came up where it was asked of me to try to find a way to send requests from foo.bar.com/blah to blah.bar.com. Technically /blah doesn't exist, but I was hoping to have the server redirect before it gets to that point. Has anyone had to do this before...
I've got a jspx that needs to know the current HttpServletRequest's getServerName().

I'm building production configuration where 2 tomcats are sitting behind the apache with load-balancer and mod_proxy. What I need is the script which checks whether particular instance of tomcat is running. The problem is I use AJP connector in tomcat. Is it possible to issue HTTP request to apache somehow that I make sure only needed in...
