Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Has anyone had any experience configuring the Apache mod proxy/mod rewrite
modules within ofbiz?

 

I am trying to run the ecommerce application on Apache/Tomcat and do not
know where to place the rewrite rules; has anyone accomplished this?

 

 

Thank You

Hi Len,


I am not aware of any, but also we do generally use Apache and have migrated
all IIS, SunOne and others to it whereever we use Tomcat / JBoss / WebLogic
behind.

IIS is only an option for us where is is part of a .NET setup.

Regards

Yes that is the setup I am looking at except I am going to use IIs as my
webserver instead of Apache.

I am using the following link as my guideline
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html

Do you know of any loopholes I should be aware of from your experience?

I guess, then you are off on a 3-tier-setup track, i.e.

Tier 1 - Apache

Tier 1 - Apache

Yes the assumption is correct, besides the fact I have converted an old site
to new which means I will need to maintain the old urls for a time being and
redirect (301 redirect) to the new I also need some redirecting for SEO
purposes and the bot engine urls coming in.

Len,


I still do not see your reply to the "why rewrite" question? Is the
assumption made above correct? Can you let us know what the background is?
We're at risk to be off into assumptions while not looking at what the
requirement really is.

All the above is correct, however a solution for rewriting is then probably
putting an Apache (or other httpd) in front of OFBiz.

OFBiz as such is agnostic of the URL is serves (that is my understanding).
As such, it may be enough to manage multiple DNS entries for your domains to
your public IP and then make sure the default app (assumed, ecommerce) is
mounted to webroot.

That's a really good excuse to do url-rewriting. In that case you might want
to take a look at nginx (http://wiki.nginx.org/Main) as a high performance

Jeroen,

I can tell you for long established e-Commerce sites old URLs are very  
important.  They are contained in correspondence, blogs, other  
websites, etc. and you don't want your customer or prospective  
customer to get lost on the way to the "new" page they are looking for.

Hi Len,

It sill puzzles me why you think you need a url rewriting. Do you want a
loadbalancer, reverse proxy or image caching? Provide us your scenario, you
don't want all the hassle that comes with url rewrite for just exposing
Ofbiz to the world.

Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Scott Gray <sc...@hotwaxmedia.com>.

RE: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Len Shein <ls...@salmonllc.com>.
In and all it sounds as if I would like to implement rewrite rule I will
need to install Apache httpd in front of the Ofbiz Tomcat, does that sound
correct?

I don't think you can add rewrite rules to tomcat..

If you do decide to use apache httpd, I would thoroughly recommend 
reading the apache httpd documentation as mis-configuring can lead to 
security holes.

Cheers,

Chris

Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Christopher Snow <sn...@snowconsulting.co.uk>.
I don't think you can add rewrite rules to tomcat..

If you do decide to use apache httpd, I would thoroughly recommend 
reading the apache httpd documentation as mis-configuring can lead to 
security holes.

Cheers,

Chris

RE: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Len Shein <ls...@verizon.net>.
How can I add rewrite rules to the Tomcat which is embedded in Ofbiz?

Do I need Apache to do this?

Thanks in advance

Len

You dont need the Apache web server if your setup is really not that 
complex. Tomcat is embedded in the OFbiz and you can simply change the 
ports (from 8080 to 80 and 8443 to 443) in ofbiz-containers.xml file. If 
you are running already a Apache HTTPD and cant use the port 80 in 
OFBiz, I would suggest you to use AJP/Proxy. It is simple to configure. 
You can search mail archives and wiki to get some pointers. There is 
also documentation on Apache HTTPD site.

Be careful about ProxyPassReverse as it is bit tricky. Have a look on my 
blogs on how to use ProxyPassReverseCookiesPath and ProxyPassReverse 
directive 
(http://www.viithiisys.com/web/raj/blog/-/blogs/apache-proxypassreverse-dire

Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

I don't think you can use these rules in OFBiz. You will need the Apache 
HTTPd for this.

Thanks,

RE: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Len Shein <ls...@salmonllc.com>.
No I am not already running apache httpd.  My setup is not complex I just
not sure where I need to place rewrite rules in the embedded tomcat setup.
Here are my test rules in a simple configuration where would such rules go?

Example Rules
RewriteEngine On
# Test 1 - Straight proxy test.
RewriteRule ^/test.htm$ http://helloworld.gravitystream.com/test.htm [P,L]

# Test 2 - Bot only proxy test.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}
.*(?:NSO_|Google|msnbot|Slurp|Ask\sJeeves|Inktomi|Yahoo).*
RewriteRule ^/test-for-robots.htm$
http://helloworld.gravitystream.com/test-for-robots.htm [P,L]

You dont need the Apache web server if your setup is really not that 
complex. Tomcat is embedded in the OFbiz and you can simply change the 
ports (from 8080 to 80 and 8443 to 443) in ofbiz-containers.xml file. If 
you are running already a Apache HTTPD and cant use the port 80 in 
OFBiz, I would suggest you to use AJP/Proxy. It is simple to configure. 
You can search mail archives and wiki to get some pointers. There is 
also documentation on Apache HTTPD site.

Be careful about ProxyPassReverse as it is bit tricky. Have a look on my 
blogs on how to use ProxyPassReverseCookiesPath and ProxyPassReverse 
directive

RE: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Len Shein <ls...@salmonllc.com>.
No I have built an ecommerce application which is up and running in
development and now I would like to move it a production server.  My
understanding of it was Apache/Tomcat is built into ofbiz and simply
starting ofbiz everything is now ready.  

I now need to add the rewrite modules..  I thought this config went into the
ofbiz files somewhere which would then be picked up when ofbiz was
started... sounds like I was incorrect in this thinking.

It sounds as if I now need to first install Apache for windows/Apache httpd
and then deploy the app to apache?

RE: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Len Shein <ls...@salmonllc.com>.
I think I might be completely off base I am running ofbiz with it's internal
Tomcat server.  I am trying to add some rewrite rules to the server so I
think in order to do this I have 2 options:

Install Apache in front of tomcat and let it rewrite and redirect
accordingly
Or
Find where the rules should be placed within the Ofbiz Tomcat server.

Is this correct?

Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules

Posted by Christopher Snow <sn...@snowconsulting.co.uk>.
Hi Len,

Are you just trying to get ofbiz up and running to try it out?  If you 
are just trying out ofbiz, you don't need to install apache httpd.

Cheers,

Chris

I guess I am a bit confused.  I have not installed apache httpd...  I am
simply starting ofbiz on a windows server.  Do I need to first install
Apache and the start ofbiz?

Hi Len

httpd.conf is a configuration file for the apache httpd application, not 
for the ofbiz application.

What operating system are you running?  How did you install apache httpd?

Cheers,

Chris

Yes, where is the httpd.conf file located?  I do not see it within the Ofbiz
source.  Am I missing these files?
