getting suicidal

Was also thinking already to do some with some rewrite engine, but aaaah

This is not what I've posted 2 posts ago. I've posted this one:

Code:

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /time ajp://localhost:8009/time
ProxyPassReverse /time ajp://localhost:8009/time

Note the difference in the tomcat URI. You have to include the context where you've deployed your app (/time).
Also note that you can replace the ajp protocol with http (and change the tomcat listening port accordingly)

Code:

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /time http://localhost:8080/time
ProxyPassReverse /time http://localhost:8080/time

In any case restart apache and clear your browser cache before visiting http://time.domain.local/time to see what you get

Ow, Fixed the context to /time

Now I get the Tomcat 404 site when going to http://time.domain.local/time

I guess using '/' for a proxypass would mean time.domain.local would redirect correctly

Code:

     ProxyPass / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/time
     ProxyPassReverse / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/time

using

Code:

     ProxyPass /time http://10.0.0.1:8080/time
     ProxyPassReverse /time http://10.0.0.1:8080/time

and navigating to http://time.domain.local/time

throws me an error 500 with message in log:

Code:

[Fri Feb 03 15:33:15 2012] [warn] proxy: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /time. If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule.

PS: I also enabled already proxy_html_module

Ok, in host-manager app for tomcat I had time.domain.local set-up
I removed this and now when I navigate to http://time.domain.local/time I get my app running
Now I need to move it only to http://time.domain.local and am happy!

Well not really. You need to use a uri in apache to reverse proxy an application deployed in tomcat under some context
Of course you can use:

Code:

ProxyPass / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/

but you said that you have some php files in your vhost docroot and I guess you don't want them top be parsed by tomcat...

Not sure if you need this, but it doesn't harm anyway. Perhaps you don't even need to enable mod_proxy_http accrding to this

Yeah, no biggie with PHP scripts, I can move them to another vhost (mainly pgsql admin) so I can aswell move the app to http://time.domain.local

also, now I tested it with mod_jk - works aswell!

which means: adding virtual hosts in hosts-manager app of tomcat is BAD and leads to big problems

Why is it even there ?

At least does it work with the reverse proxy setup? Looking for the mod_jk debug logs you posted, I've found some bug reports, so maybe it's a bug in debian mod_jk package.
So if it works with the reverse proxy then you could stay with it

yeah, works with reverse proxy, I stick with it
I just want to move it to top level

tried it with

Code:

     ProxyRequests Off
     ProxyPass / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/time
     ProxyPassReverse / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/time

but that does not work - for whatever idea :<

edit: I got 404 message

Code:

type Status report

message /timetime/

description The requested resource (/timetime/) is not available.

Try with the trailing slashes in the tomcat url

Code:

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/time/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://10.0.0.1:8009/time/

Or see my post #20 above. In this case you need to deploy your app and the "/" context.

Trailing slashes worked

Apparently the devs have put a /time subdirectory into the project which gets aswell translated and then the project does not work, but that is another issue.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! Really appreciated
