Re: how to set auto redirection in apache with tomcat

[James Godrej <jamesgodrej@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Igor,

thanks for message I had tried.I just came across a trick which did the job.

I had 

hat I did to get it working was deleted

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT

and renamed my application

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/olat

to

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT

and removed the olat.war from

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/

then restarted tomcat6

/etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart

and I could see auto redirection happening.

Here I would like to mention I did not changed the original vhost which I posted in my first question and ProxyPass /olat ajp://192.168.1.5:8009/olat

had not worked.But this trick which I mentioned above did the job.Mentioning here so that it helps some one else.

Does this work?

       ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat
       ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/olat

Also not sure if "ProxyPreserveHost On" has eny meaning in case of reverse proxy but not sure and don't have time now to double check :) Maybe someone else can confirm ...

right now what you are seeing is a default Tomcat6 page.
I am using mod_ajp as a front end and Apache vhost configuration for same is

<VirtualHost *:80 >

       ServerName social.openitup.in
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

       ProxyRequests off
       <Proxy *>
       Order deny,allow
       Allow from all
       </Proxy>
       ProxyPreserveHost On

       ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/
       ProxyPassReverse / ajp://192.168.1.19:8009/


</VirtualHost>




How ever I have an application running on it
http://social.openitup.in/olat
what I want to do is when some one opens
http://social.openitup.in
then rather than seeing Tomcat6 home page from
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/index.html
the person is  redirected to olat application which is in
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/olat
how can this be achieved?
