[SOLVED] Re: Cocoon with Virtual Hosts (apache/tomcat)

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

What we did was:

Add this line:
    ProxyPreserveHost  
Then these next two lines make up the balance of the transfer to
tomcat
    ProxyPass /cocoon215/soc http://localhost:8080/cocoon215/soc 
    ProxyPassReverse /cocoon215/soc
http://localhost:8080/cocoon215/soc

Hope this might help someone...

Derek,

You could go jk2 route - just that, in my view, you'd loose a great
deal 
of flexibility.

This WILL in my view be relatively easy to fix. It is going to be 
something simple.

Here's some things to try:

1) Switch on (temporarily) rewrite logging. Setting of 3 should give
you 
enough info to go on.
2) If you're on Unix, try using Lynx or some such to use the 
http://localhost:8080/ URL to see if it works correctly from within the

server
3) Check that the rewrite logs are rewritingg to that particular URL

Hmm. Looking at what I wrote below, I missed [P,L] from the end of the

line. It should be:

RewriteRule /cocoon215/soc(.*) http://localhost:8080/cocoon215/soc$1
[P,L]

P says proxy the request to this URL
L says this is the last rule. Do not process any other rules.

Hope that is enough to get you going.

Regards, Upayavira
