Configuring/Securing mod_proxy_ajp

[Jim Weir <ja...@hotmail.com>]

To all,

I am using mod_proxy_ajp w/ Apache 2.2.3/Tomcat 5.5.4

The problem I have with this is that I lose all my formatting from a site 
build with Forrest.  It seems to be returning only HTML and dropping all the 
CSS...Forrest uses XML/XSLT extensively...

(http://forrest.apache.org/)

When I point the URL to a directory to a java Servlet based site everything 
is fine.

Why would it do this?  Should I enable a certain return type in the 
VirtualHost?

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.mysite.org
  ServerAdmin 4@yahoo.com
  ServerAlias mysite.org  *.mysite.org
  DocumentRoot /usr/opt/tomcat/webapps/mysite
  ErrorLog logs/mysite.org-error_log
  CustomLog logs/mysite.org-access_log common
  <Directory "/usr/opt/tomcat/webapps/mysite">
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
  </Directory>

  <Proxy balancer://mycluster2>
       BalancerMember ajp://www.mysite.org:8009/mysite
  </Proxy>
  <Location /mysite>
        ProxyPass balancer://mycluster2
  </Location>
</VirtualHost>


I am also wondering if there are any security problems with this config.

Thank you,
Jim

With configuration, you have http://www.mysite.org/ is understood by Apache 
to be the same as http://www.mysite.org/mysite/.  I'm guessing that the 
problem is with how you are specifying relative links to you .css files.
