Comments on: Tomcat behind reverse proxy on Apache http://famvdploeg.com/blog/2008/01/tomcat-behind-reverse-proxy-on-apache/ A simple look on things Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:52:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: gd http://famvdploeg.com/blog/2008/01/tomcat-behind-reverse-proxy-on-apache/comment-page-1/#comment-868 gd Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:28:22 +0000 http://famvdploeg.com/blog/?p=33#comment-868 Thank-you. I needed the redirectmatch. Thought I had it figured out, but found the trailing slash problem trying to get to tomcat's /examples/jsp and /examples/servlets. I also started using the /tomcat/ for the proxy path. But I found I needed to use mod_proxy_html to get things working right as all the java apps wanted to be relative /. So now I just proxy each app: RedirectMatch ^/jira$ /jira/ ProxyPass /jira/ http://:8080/jira/ ProxyPassReverse /jira/ http://:8080/jira/ Have to update the httpd.conf every time I add a java app. But I don't need to use mod_proxy_html anymore. Did I miss a trick that would let me use /tomcat/ without mod_proxy_html? Thank-you. I needed the redirectmatch.
