Apache and Tomcat with Multiple Virtual Hosts

[Chris Duesing <cd...@chicagoclimateexchange.com>]

Hello,

 

I am trying to add a second web application to my server, and in doing
so I have taken the approach of using multiple virtual hosts in both
Apache and Tomcat. The configuration I am using is not currently working
and I was hoping someone might spot the reason.

 

Background:

Apache 2.2

Tomcat 5.5.17

2 java webapps running jsp's under tomcat and 1 with static content
under apache.

1 webapp requires https/ssl

Subdomains for each app so they can be at the root, rather than having
different context paths.

Mod_proxy and mod_rewrite to communicate between apache and tomcat.

 

Here are what I believe to be the relevant excerpts from the apache
httpd.conf and tomcat server.xml files.

 

 

Httpd.conf:

...

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx:443>                

  ServerName            example1.ccx.com

...

ProxyPass / http://example1.ccx.com:8443/

</VirtualHost>

 

...

 

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx:80>       

  ServerName            example2.ccx.com
<http://www.staging.chicagoclimatex.com/> 

...

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteRule ^(.*)(\.jsp)(.*)$ http://example2.ccx.com:8080/$1$2$3
[P,L]

</VirtualHost>

 

 

 

 

Server.xml:

...

<Service name="Catalina">

...

<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
maxSpareThreads="75"

               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100"

               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

...

<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
maxSpareThreads="75"

               enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"

               acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"

               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

...

<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="climateexchange.com">

 

   <Host name="example1.ccx.com" appBase="webapps/example1_ccx_com"

       unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"

       xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

             

   </Host>

 

   <Host name="example2.ccx.com" appBase="webapps/example2_ccx_com"

       unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"

       xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

 

  </Host>

...

 

Thanks for the help,
