RE: [users@httpd] LocationMatch and RE help Plz

["Douglas Acheson" <douglas.acheson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just an update to this.  The problem is that proxypass does not work inside
the locationmatch, that is proxypass cannot evaluate a RE.  You need to use
rewriterule to achive this task.  Here is an example:
 
 
	RewriteEngine On
	
  <Proxy balancer://myCluster>
      BalancerMember ajp://10.0.0.152:8009 loadfactor=100 route=152
      ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID
      Order Deny,Allow
      Allow from all
  </Proxy>

	RewriteRule (^/myproject/(.+\.(jsp|html|form)))
balancer://myCluster$1 [p]

	ProxyPassReverse /myproject ajp://10.0.0.152:8009/myproject

  <Location /balancer-manager>
      SetHandler balancer-manager
      Order Deny,Allow
      Allow from all
  </Location>

Hope that helps some people ...

Regards,
Douglas WF Acheson

Subject: [users@httpd] LocationMatch and RE help Plz


Hello,

I am having an issue with LocationMatch and PCREs :-(. Here is the scenario.
I am using Apache httpd as a loadbalancer between two tomcat instances,
which is working fine. Now I want to have the web server serve up all static
content, and tomcat server up JSPs and the other dynamic content. So I read
the docs and decided that the LocationMatch directive would server my needs
best. Below is the snippet of config for this. My intent is to have all .jsp
and .frm with the context /myproject be served from the tomcat instances,
all other requests httpd would server up. Any help would be appreciated.

 

# include the proxy module if not already loaded <IfModule !proxy_module>

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so </IfModule>

# include the proxy http module if not already loaded # this requires proxy
module be loaded first <IfModule !proxy_ajp_module>

LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so </IfModule>

# include the proxy balancer module if not already loaded # this requires
proxy module be loaded first <IfModule !proxy_balancer_module>

LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so </IfModule>

#

# Define the tomcat load balancer #

#

#

<IfModule proxy_balancer_module>

# list each member element with the loadfactor

# the sum of each load factor must equal 100

<Proxy balancer://myCluster>

BalancerMember ajp://10.0.0.8:11009 loadfactor=100 route=jvm1

<LocationMatch "^/myproject/(.*)\.(jsp|frm)$">

# cookie tomcat uses to store the http session.

ProxyPass balancer://myCluster/myproject stickysession=JSESSIONID

ProxyPassReverse balancer://myCluster/bpsproject

</LocationMatch>
