Need help with URL redirecting
Hello all
I am new to the list. This is what i am trying to do but need help on:
I have a webapp running on tomcat 8: https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp
I am going to set up a DNS record myapp.example.com which will point to the
IP address of the tomcat server that hosts the webapp.. I want this new DNS
record myapp.example.com to redirect to https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp.
In other words, I want the URL to redirect port 80 to the URL for the
webapp automatically so the users will not have to enter in the port number
whenever they want to browse to the webapp. I tried doing research on
google and I was not able to find a straight forward way of doing this. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Sean

Actually, I was thinking of using Tomcat only, and configuring 2 <Host> :
- one to listen on port 80, with a single and simple default app which sends back a
"permanent redirect" to the other Host
- one to listen on the HTTPS port, with the real application
(or if not possible with 2 Hosts, then 2 separate Tomcat instances).
But yes, it would be simpler with a reverse proxy in front.

Yes, you can do this without a reverse proxy, but removing the port
number can be a bit of an issue, which is why a reverse proxy is
sometimes recommended: it's just easier that way -- especially if
another web server is already available for that purpose.
For more help, you'll have to give us more information about your
environment: OS, other services already available on the network, etc.
For example, if an appropriate reverse proxy is already available,
then you can point your DNS record to that proxy, and use a virtual
host for that domain name. Then, proxy everything to your Tomcat instanc

Thank you Steve for the suggestion. Will this work with out using a reverse
proxy? My management told me not to use a reverse proxy
Thanks
RE: Need help with URL redirecting
Posted by "Mekkelsen Madden, Steve" <St...@pega.com>.
One thing you could do is have an entry in your webapps\ROOT folder called like: MyAppRedirect.html (name can be anything)
Inside the file you need something like:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=../myApp/connection ">
In your conf\web.xml at the bottom of it, you'll see 3 lines shown below:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Change this to point to your MyAppRedirect.html page.
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>MyAppRedirect.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
That's a simple way to redirect your application. Your DNS / reverse proxy could take care of the port # and users only need to call your application by name (https://callMyApplication.domain.com) when the DNS/reverse proxy redirects it to the server's port say 8088, the html file appends the remaining portion of the url to what the users typed.

Thank you for the tidbit about how to reply :) So I used number 17 from the website and i deployed the war file as the ROOT.war file. What should the next steps be?

Another tip : on his list,mit is preferred if you respond in or below the previous text.
That's why I moved your previous answer.

Yes, I think that it will make the rest easier.
So do that, as per the instructions above, and then we will continue.

Hello Andre
thank you for your response.
There are no other webservers running on this machine. There are other web
apps as well, but the only way to access them is through myapp. So should I
deploy myapp as the default app ?
Thanks

The first thing you would have to check, is whether port 80 is still free on that server,
or if there is already another webserver (e.g. Apache httpd) using it.
The second thing to clarify is whether, apart from "myapp", there are other web
applications (not called "myapp") which you are running or would want to run under Tomcat
on that server.
If not, then you might want to run your application as the *default* application, so that
users would get to it with the URL "https://myapp.example.com:8443/", instead of
"https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp".
To do this first, have a look at :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo
and look at #17 : How do I make my web application be the tomcat default application
It will just be easier if you clear up the above points first, because there are multiple
possibilities, and it narrows down the scope of the tips we can provide.
