Hello
I would like to point my main page (on Apache) to app hosted on JBoss AS called myapp. Now i'm using mod_rewrite which rewrites all reqests to main page by adding myapp on the end of the address. After this mod_jk forward this request to application server.
Is there any way to point main page to this alias without mod_rewrite or to map f.x. myhost.com/aaa to /bbb application in application server ? |

For that you could use apache as reverse proxy e.g.
| Code: |
<Location /examples/>
ProxyPass ajp://localhost:8009/examples/
</Location>
|
or
| Code: |
<Location /examples/>
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/examples/
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/examples/
</Location>

This is not i'm looking for couse of two reasons :
- this is not mod_jk module but mod_proxy
- i need to point apache alias to different application name than alias name f.x. apache : mydomain.com/xxx/example ---> tomcat : tomcat_host/example |

The first example with ajp:// uses mod_jk

The location must not exist on apache document root, so it can be used like an alias.
So in your example case
| Code: |
# inside the vhost
<Location /xxx/example>
ProxyPass ajp://tomcat_host:8009/example
</Location>
|
It might help if you post your mod_jk setup
edit ---------
Using the a reverse proxy is the right way to bind tomcat into apache see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/ajp.html |

I'm sure that you must be mistaken - ProxyPass is not mod_jk directive. |

Yes you are right. The reverse proxy is not mod_jk, but it uses the same protocol AJP. AJP is the reason why using mod_jk, cause it is a binary protocol and faster than http.
Ok back to your problem. You can use JKMount for that
JkMount <URL prefix> <Worker name>
So
| Code: |
<Location /xxx/example>
JkMount /examples/*.jsp worker1
</Location>
#maybe
<Location /xxx/example/>
JkMount /examples/*.jsp worker1
</Location>
|
or it might work without the location container.
I can't try cause I don't have mod_jk |

Unfortunately such configuration is not possible. I got this error with your config :
| Code: |
JkMount can not have a path when defined in a location |
So the proper configuration with Location directive is :
| Code: |
<Location /xxx/example/>
JkMount worker
</Location>
|
which means that Location path = application name. In that case my problem is still on board. |

A solution might be vhost in the server.xml with a dummy domainname.
Than put in {Tomcat}/conf/Catalina/{domain.de}/ a xml ROOT with the fitting context. Than you can mount / |

What i need is to point 3 different aliases to exactly the same application (let's call it XXX) so :
mydomain.com/en/xxx/
mydomain.com/dk/xxx/
mydomain.com/pl/xxx/
I don't want to run 3 instances of same application (to many issues to solve will be involved then) but this config you gave me require to do so. |

| So I think rewrite would be the easiest solution for you even if you don't like it... |

This is http request behavior i want to accomplish :
Scenario 1:
1. User from USA requesting my page by www.mydomain.com
2. Apache based on mod_geoip checks his IP address (based on this information user's request is gonna to be rewritten)
3. Mod_rewrite rewrites user request to www.mydomain.com/us/xxx (xxx my app name)
4. Mod_jk will point this request to application server (jboss/xxx)
5. Application will recognize that site should be shown in english
Scenario 2:
1. User from Canada requesting my page by www.mydomain.com
2. Apache based on mod_geoip checks his IP address (based on this information user's request is gonna to be rewritten)
3. Mod_rewrite rewrites user request to www.mydomain.com/can/xxx (xxx my app name)
4. Mod_jk will point this request to application server (jboss/xxx)
5. Application will recognize that site should be shown in english
Scenario 3:
1. User from Germany requesting my page by www.mydomain.com
2. Apache based on mod_geoip checks his IP address (based on this information user's request is gonna to be rewritten)
3. Mod_rewrite rewrites user request to www.mydomain.com/ger/xxx (xxx my app name)
4. Mod_jk will point this request to application server (jboss/xxx)
5. Application will recognize that site should be shown in german
Scenario 4:
1. User from France requesting my page by www.mydomain.com
2. Apache based on mod_geoip checks his IP address (based on this information user's request is gonna to be rewritten)
3. Mod_rewrite rewrites user request to www.mydomain.com/fr/xxx (xxx my app name)
4. Mod_jk will point this request to application server (jboss/xxx)
5. Application will recognize that site should be shown in french
Thats why i need to point three different aliases to same application in JBoss. |

Hi All,
how can we configure apache or tomcat-
1. User request to www.mydomain.com/abc/xxx (xxx my app name)
2. Mod_jk will point this request to application server (tomcat/xxx) |
