Re: Using a MOTD

[ganesh ganesh <ganeshapache@xxxxxxxxx>]

if you just want to see the welcome page and by clicking a url on that page if you want to redirected to tomcat... easy way would be make your directory index as html for that particular virtual host and use then place a url or button on the welcome page and they you can get redirected to the java page... this might not be a best suggestion but effective one...

If you want to make the redirection automated after few seconds.. that can be achived too...

Good afternoon all,

I have installed Apache HTTPD 2.2 and set it up as a "pass through" server to Tomcat. I have a requirement that every user see a MOTD page before they get passed onto the application on Tomcat. Even if the user has bookmarked a page within the application deployed on Tomcat they need to first be directed to the MOTD then redirected to the bookmarked page.

 

I've looked into Apache::MOTD by CPAN and it's a viable option. My only issue is it requires that I install Perl. Installing Perl usually is not a big deal, but I would rather not have to do that.

 

Does anyone know how to intercept all requests, direct them to a MOTD, and provide a link to the originally requested page without having to install perl?

 

Thanks,

-Dan
