JkMount and Apache Rewrite

["Philip Hunt (Straker Software)" <ph...@shadocms.com>]

Hi,

I have the following config, to pass requests through Apache to Tomcat using
AJP:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/abc - [L,PT]
RewriteRule (.*) /abc$1 [L,PT]

JkMount /abc/* node1

This works, to the point that requests to http://sitename/ are rewritten to
http://sitename/abc ... and the JkMount directive finds a match, and passes
the request off to a worker.

However, I need JkMount to preserve the rewritten URI and it doesn't appear
to be doing that.

A request to http://sitename/ gets rewritten to http://sitename/abc ... but,
goes to the worker as http://sitename/

Does anyone know how I can preserve the rewritten URI when passing to the
worker?


Thanks,
Phil

Look at the "Forwarding" section in:

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html

and also at

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/proxy.html

It could be you copied an outdated default configuration setting an 
exotic JkOption. With modern releases (actual: 1.2.30) you should no 
longer need a Forward-JkOption.
