Hi , i am trying to redirect my java project webapp in tomcat to apache using mod_jk.

1.I installed mod_jk 1.2.37

2.Created a workers.properties file in /etc/httpd/conf
worker.list= ajp
worker.ajp.type=ajp13
worker.ajp.port=8009
worker.ajp.host=localhost

3.mod_jk entries in httpd.conf
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"

4.Configured virtual host with rewrite rule
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog logs/apache-mod_rewrite
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /mywebapp/$1 [L,PT]
JkMount /* ajp
</VirtualHost>

while trying to reach http://mydoamin.com , i get following error:
HTTP Status 404 - /mywebapp/mywebapp/
description The requested resource is not available.


I only have one mywebapp ,but dont know why its showing /mywebapp/mywebapp/

Before adding the virtual host entry ,my http.conf was like this:
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties

JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"
JkMount /mywebapp* ajp
Then i used to get myweapp with folliwing url:
http://mydomain.com/mywebap/

Details:
Server : RHEL 5.9
Apache: 2.2.3
Tomcat: 7.0.37
mod_jk:1.2.37


I have checked catalina.out , error.log .access.log ,mod_jk.log but nothing significant is found.

Any valid suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance..

Hi,

If you application is deployed under /mywebapp in tomcat and you want to rewrite a request for / to /mywebapp, so it will be served by tomcat, you need to use:
Regards

Thank you so much ,my problem has been solved .Actually i was trying to get my url like this:
http://mydomain.com/index.jsp instead of http://mydomain.com/mywebapp/index.jsp so i used RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /mywebapp/$1 [L,PT].

But this will do anyway.Thanks once again...
