[users@httpd] mod_proxy and mod_rewrite issue

[inas inassen <me...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

 

I have a web application running on tomcat with a context myapp

I access this webapp via apache using a proxypass and proxy balancer ==> http://myserver.com/myapp

 

Now, I want to use the url http://myserver.com and apache will forward my request to tomcat by adding the URI /myapp to this URL.

mod_rewrite does that, but my question is that how can I avoid displaying the context path in the browser adress bar?

 

so I want to write http://myserver.com/abd and to be redirected to http://myserver.com/myapp/abd without displaying the URL http://myserver.com/myapp/abd in the adress bar.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Inas.

Thanks Andre,

 

Yes you right, I'm not using the same port and either the same server

 

My URL is: http://myserver.com/myapp  and it's redirected by apache to http://mybackend.com:8080/myapp using mod_proxy_http and ajp://mybackend.com:8009/myapp using mod_proxy_ajp and both work fine.

 

my issue is that I want to hide the URI in the browser when you click any link in the html page or when you write an URL in the adress bar. I think making my application as ROOT will answer my question to avoid specifiying the context path.

 

Thanks Andre.

I believe you are missing an element above : both Apache and Tomcat 
cannot be listening on the same port 80 on the same server.  So you must 
be proxying "http://myserver.com/abd" to 
"http://myserver.com:8080/myapp/abd", no ?

Anyway, do you have other applications than "/myapp" on your Tomcat server ?
If not, then you could make /myapp be the ROOT application under Tomcat.
See here for info of how to do that :
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo
#38

If you do that, then you could access your (formerly) /myapp application 
  directly on Tomcat by "http://myserver.com:8080".
And by consequence, you could also from Apache proxy directly there.

Another thing : have you looked at the AJP connectors (mod_proy_ajp and 
mod_jk) ?
