Running Behind a Reverse Proxy?

[Ian Joyce <ia...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to get Roller 4 running behind a reverse proxy.

Roller is running on Tomcat @ localhost:8095/roller-weblogger/
I want to have Apache 1.3 to be a reverse proxy and answer requests at
localhost/a/different/path/

Has anyone configured a setup like this before? I'm not finding the
right combination of settings to make this work.

Thanks,
--Ian

Here are the proxy instructions for Tomcat [1], but I don't know of any way to use a path that's different than that of the servlet context path, at least not without some rewrite magic.

You can try to use an Apache filter like mod_proxy_html [2] which will dynamically rewrite URLs in the content as it passes back through Apache.
