why...give me a hint!thx

Hi,

Please define "dont work !'
In the meantime, since the URL you're using is http://www.test.com/shop/, why don't you use:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName  www.test.com

<Proxy *>

 Order Deny,Allow

 Allow from all

</Proxy>



ProxyRequests Off

ProxyMaxForwards 100

ProxyPreserveHost On

ProxyPass /shop http://192.168.0.102:8080/shop

ProxyPassReverse /shop http://192.168.0.102:8080/shop

</VirtualHost>

Regards

to hidden part of the url "shop/index-2000.html"

if i use
ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.102:8080/shop/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.102:8080/shop

i cant let www.test.com ---> www.test.com/shop/index-2000.html
may be rewrite rule has some problem
but
http://www.test.com/shop/bottom/reg.html ---->
192.168.0.102/shop/bottom/reg.html

http://www.test.com/shop/other/login.html ---->
192.168.0.102/shop/other/login.html work fine...

under this configuretion , i just want to let entry www.test.com go to www.test.com/shop/index-2000.html

Hi,

You cannot use mod_rewrite to hide the url, as it runs on apache and for this reason it cannot rewrite urls in tomcat. Even if you stop the reverse proxying of /shop and use mod_rewrite to redirect requests to tomcat, the final url will be shown in the browser address bar, since it's an external rewrite.
I guess you have to deploy the application running on 192.168.0.102, so that the context path is /shop and the index page is index-2000.html.
There is a way to rewrite urls in tomcat using this filter. I've never used it, so I cannot tell if it fits your needs.

Regards
