reverse proxy & tomcat

goldwing · 10-08-2010, 04:03 AM

Hi,

We use a reverse proxy to forward a lot of websites via 1 central place.
so http://blahblahblah/smt should forward to an internal server.
I already managed to forward a lot of website correctly, except for this one:

when I type: http://blablahblah/smt/webtier-7-11 it doesn't work correctly, but http://blablahblah/webtier-7-11 does !
How can I make the first url to work ?

ProxyPass /smt http://192.168.10.38:8080
ProxyPassReverse /smt http://192.168.10.38:8080
ProxyPassMatch ^/((smt|webtier-7.11)(/.*)?)?$ http://192.168.10.38:8080/$1

ProxyPass /webtier-7.11 http://192.168.10.38:8080
ProxyPassReverse /webtier-7.11 http://192.168.10.38:8080

ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain 192.168.10.38 172.16.20.143

& proxy_ajp.conf:

ProxyPass /smt/ ajp://192.168.10.38:8009/

Hi,

I guess you can use mod_rewrite to rewrite internally /smt/webtier-7-11 to /webtier-7-11

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/smt/webtier-7-11
RewriteRule ^smt/webtier-7-11 /webtier-7-11

ProxyPass /smt http://192.168.10.38:8080
ProxyPassReverse /smt http://192.168.10.38:8080
ProxyPassMatch ^/((smt|webtier-7.11)(/.*)?)?$ http://192.168.10.38:8080/$1

ProxyPass /webtier-7.11 http://192.168.10.38:8080
ProxyPassReverse /webtier-7.11 http://192.168.10.38:8080

ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain 192.168.10.38 172.16.20.143

Thanks, just tried that, but now the application is not loading decently (cleared all cache, etc. first)
Think it has to do with tomcat, but can't find the clue.

What you mean by "not loading decently"?
Are you using the default:

Code:

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off

Also I don't think you need the "ProxyPassMatch" and "ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain" any more

We used the 'JkMount' options to handle our tomcat requests.

How do I do these redicrections now with the 'Rewrite':

/smt --> /webtier-7.11/index.do
/smt-ess --> /webtier-7.11/ess.do
/smt-calendar --> /calendar

You can use:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^smt$ /webtier-7.11/index.do
RewriteRule ^smt-ess$ /webtier-7.11/ess.do
RewriteRule ^smt-calendar$ /calendar
