Tomcat 5.5, Apache 2.0.XX and mod_proxy
I'm trying to proxy my Tomcat web application through Apache 2.0 using
mod_proxy.
I have uncommented the following in my server.xml:
<!-- Define a Proxied HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8082 -->
<!-- See proxy documentation for more information about using this. -->
<Connector port="8082"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
proxyPort="80" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
and I've added the following to my httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName foo.bar.com
ProxyPass / http://foobar.com:8082/app/
ProxyPassReverse / http://foobar.com:8082/app/
</VirtualHost>
The pages are being passed without any problems but the sessions are being
lost as cookies are not being passed. I'm guessing I need to add something
to the above stanza which rewrite the cookies. But what?

Re: Tomcat 5.5, Apache 2.0.XX and mod_proxy
Posted by mip <ma...@planchant.co.uk>.
I have two apps which I am trying to proxy through Apache.
How do I set up the servers.conf if I have two apps I need to proxy?
I'm using Apache 2.0.52 and httpd.conf looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app1.mydomain.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8082/app1/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8082/app1/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app2.mydomain.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8082/app2/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8082/app2/
</VirtualHost>
I'm using Tomcat 5.5 and server.xml looks like this:

It is just the port your Tomcat is running on, which could be any port,
so if you are using 8082 that will be your port... it's better though
not to be on port 80.

Thanks Peter.
Should that be:
--------------
servers.conf
--------------
T1 tomcat.server.com:8082
ALL tomcat.server.com:8082
?
If not what is port 8081 being used for?

Thats because your configuration is incomplete, in order for Apache to
pass the cookie to the correct context you need to do some additional
configuration (or alternatively use a connector like mod_jk)
You may need to configure the jvmRoute parameter in server.xml, this
allows Apache to map to the correct Tomcat context, otherwise deploy
your web app in the Tomcat root context.
<Connector port="8082"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
proxyPort="80" disableUploadTimeout="true"
jvmRoute=T1/>
You also need to add a server mapping in Apache, one way to do this
easily is with a RewriteMap. (If you use Apache 2.2 then you could use
the in-built mod_proxy_balancer module). I also use Apache 2.0 so I just
make a static mapping, which looks something like this:
RewriteMap SERVERS rnd:/etc/apache2/servers.conf
--------------
servers.conf
--------------
T1 tomcat.server.com:8081
ALL tomcat.server.com:8081
#configure more instances for load balancing if you wish
