I am running Debian Etch Apache2 with Tomcat backending it connected via the standard Debian libapache2-mod-jk package. Something has happened (a Debian upgrade maybe) that has made it stop working properly. It has been working Accessing http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk hangs with no reply whilst the url that it is re-written to http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk/blog/app works fine if you enter it manually. The site is one of several virtual hosts based around IP addressing (from inside and outside my house) My basic structure is two files, one included via the Debian "sites-enabled" facility and the other included from it. the first file defines the virtual hosts, and their rewrite rule to determine the home page, the second is all the common directives. so the first is like this (this is a subset of the file) <VirtualHost home.chandlerfamily.org.uk:80 > Include /etc/apache2/sites-available/www-common RewriteRule ^/$ /blog/app [PT] RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 0 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 192.168.0.32:80 > #money.home Include /etc/apache2/sites-available/www-common RewriteRule ^/$ /akcmoney/app [PT] </VirtualHost> ------------------------------------------------------- the included file starts like this ServerName www.chandlerfamily.org.uk DocumentRoot /var/www/chandlerfamily # define which URLs get passed to tomcat JkMount /blog/* tomcat ... ------------------------------------------------------- I increase the RewriteLogLevel to 2 and it is rewriting the null url to the required thing (if you can see this, with linewraping form my mail program) 158.234.250.71 - - [22/Aug/2007:16:31:29 +0100] [www.chandlerfamily.org.uk/sid#83d7940][rid#860ee88/initial] (2) init rewrite eng ine with requested uri / 158.234.250.71 - - [22/Aug/2007:16:31:29 +0100] [www.chandlerfamily.org.uk/sid#83d7940][rid#860ee88/initial] (2) rewrite '/' -> ' /blog/app' 158.234.250.71 - - [22/Aug/2007:16:31:29 +0100] [www.chandlerfamily.org.uk/sid#83d7940][rid#860ee88/initial] (2) forcing '/blog/a pp' to get passed through to next API URI-to-filename handler and my access log shows that url being accessed, but no other evidence. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, or how I could debug it -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
