Where is the login homepage? Where does it POST? Where is the application? What URLs do clients see? How do those URLs reach the correct server/port? How does the application send URLs usable by the client? >From my understanding of your needs, only example.com:80 should be accessible to clients. You want to firewall port 8080 from clients. Apache httpd on port 80 will proxy to port 8080. Questions: 1. Are all requests using the proxy? Why bother using a proxy? (That was my previous question.) 2. Does a virtual server name indicate using the proxy? (app.example.com) 3. Do certain paths indicate using the proxy? (example.com/app/...) Your current issue is the application is not aware of the proxy. mod_proxy only rewrites request URLs. You need to use one of the following options: 1. Configure the application for use behind the proxy. Something like: ROOT_PREFIX = "http://www.example.com/app/"; The syntax will depend on the application and the abilities of the developers. 2. Use mod_proxy_html to rewrite the HTML sent by the application to change every "http://www.example.com:8080/"; to "http"//www.example.com/app/". solprovider On 10/18/07, Patrick Coleman <pat@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I may have spoken a little too soon. > > While the entries I used .. > > ProxyPass / http://www.ourcompany.com:8080/ > ProxyPassReverse / http://www.ourcompany.com:8080/ > > ..work on the initial screen and the first screen after logging in > if I click on any that the 8080 shows up again in the URL? > > Is there something else that needs to be added to pick that up each > time? > > On Oct 18, 2007, at 2:31 AM, solprovider@xxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Why not put the homepage/login page on port 80 and proxy the POST to > > Tomcat?
