Apache DirectoryIndex and mod_jk ForwardDirectories not playing nicely
I'm trying to configure mod_jk 1.2.16.with Apache 1.3.26 and tomcat 5.0.28 on Solaris 9. I compiled the mod_jk from source for the Apache version. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this environment.
Behavior with mod_jk ForwardDirectories:
When index.shtml exists
*
GOOD http://www.domain.com/EDS/index.shtml -> Loads as desired
*
GOOD http://www.domain.com/EDS/index.page -> Loads as desired
*
FAIL http://www.domain.com/EDS -> Pulls index.page from Tomcat, ignoring Apache DirectoryIndex
*
FAIL http://www.domain.com/EDS/ -> Pulls index.page from Tomcat, ignoring Apache DirectoryIndex
*
FAIL http://www.domain.com/ -> Displays Tomcat site chooser, ignoring Apache DirectoryIndex (which would display EDS/index.shtml)
And now when index.shtml does not exist
* GOOD http://www.domain.com/EDS -> Pulls index.page from Tomcat, ignoring Apache DirectoryIndex
* GOOD http://www.domain.com/EDS/ -> Pulls index.page from Tomcat, ignoring Apache DirectoryIndex
* GOOD http://www.domain.com/ -> Displays Tomcat site chooser, ignoring Apache DirectoryIndex (which would display EDS/index.shtml)
Behavior without mod_jk ForwardDirectories option:

RE: Apache DirectoryIndex and mod_jk ForwardDirectories not playing nicely
Posted by "Townsley, Charlotte" <ch...@eds.com>.
Hello all,
I haven't received any replies, probably because I didn't explain the
problem very clearly.
I created a "band aid" for the problem I encountered with mod_jk and
apache not handling DirectoryIndex correctly. Essentially I used
mod_rewrite to check for index.shtml and pass to index.page when needed.
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know. This is not my area
of expertise.
Here is what I did with mod_rewrite:
__________________________________________
These two lines are the existing mod rewrites. It just disables TRACE
and TRACK HTTP methods as a security precaution.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
RewriteRule .* - [F]
____________________________________________
These next three are for directory requests:
line 1: if DocRoot/Requested-File is a directory
line 2: and if DocRoot/Requested-Directory does not contain
index.shtml
line 3: rewrite request to Requested-Directory/index.page
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}//index.shtml !-f
RewriteRule / %{REQUEST_URI}index.page [L,NC,QSA,R=301]
______________________________________________
And these two handle the default document when index.shtml does not
exist.
line 1: if DocRoot/EDS/index.shtml does not exist
line 2: and request is "/", then rewrite request for "EDS/index.page"
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/EDS/index.shtml !-f
RewriteRule ^/$ %{REQUEST_URI}EDS/index.page [L,NC,QSA,R=301]
______________________________________________
The downside for this is our virtual Host entries have grown with the
addition of the rules.

Ouch. Thanks for pointing out that you are stuck, as I'm sure a lot of
folks (including me) would say "wow, that environment is outdated and
you should really upgrade".
You should be aware that Tomcat 5.0 is now no longer supported at all
(though the other components are supported at various patch levels...
upgrading to httpd 1.3.41 would be a good idea, though).

> DirectoryIndex /EDS/index.shtml
This is a very odd configuration. Check
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex for
configuration syntax. I think that having a / in the DirectoryIndex file
is contributing to the confusion. Are you attempting to set the file
that is served for http://www.domain.com/any/path/that/might/be/there/
to instead serve /EDS/index.shtml? I think you want to do that with
either 'Redirect' or 'Rewrite', not by using DirectoryIndex.

Note that this can be done with simpler <Limit> configuration, and
mod_rewrite is kind of a beast.
> JkOptions +ForwardDirectories
You may need to repeat this in your VirtualHost. Note that Tomcat only
gets a crack at the directory request if httpd doesn't find anything.
So, if the request is being served by Tomcat, then your apache httpd
configuration is broken. Why do you want Tomcat serving these
directories, anyway?

I'm not sure I really understand what you're trying to accomplish. I see
what the configuration is trying to do, but maybe if I understood what
you were really trying to do, I might be able offer a more natural solution.
