Apache ProxyPass Tomcat

Question

I have some trouble with Apache and Tomcat server inside same machine. I want redirect a virtual host, kb.domain to an tomcat app kb.

I have read some post on internet but I don't found a solution to my problem.

My configuration have one Apache server (http://domain) and in same machine an tomcat server (http://domain:8080); in my Apache I have mapped a VirtualHost that respond to kb.domain like this:


    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName kb.domain

    <Location />
    ProxyPass http://192.168.200.3:8080/kb
    ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.200.3:8080/kb
    </Location>
    </VirtualHost>

When I call the kb.domain url from browser he add an extra / at the end and go into redirect loop.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Your proxpass directives should be:

ProxyPass / http://192.168.200.3:8080/kb/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.200.3:8080/kb/

Same result. The browser add an extra / and say redirect loop message – stefanopulze Nov 13 '13 at 15:48
@stefanopulze where does the browser add this extra slash and are you sure it's the browser doing this? – Jon Lin Nov 13 '13 at 15:53
The first time i enter "kb.domain" in url bar and press Enter. The browser show me "kb.domain//". – stefanopulze Nov 13 '13 at 16:03

@stefanopulze try adding an extra slash to the end of the proxy target: `http://192.168.200.3:8080/kb/`. It looks like it may be a mod_dir thing on the tomcat end. – Jon Lin Nov 13 '13 at 16:36
OMG, I have added last / and now Work well Thanks men! :D – stefanopulze Nov 13 '13 at 17:05

try

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName kb.domain

    ProxyPass /kb http://localhost:8080/kb
    ProxyPassReverse /kb http://localhost:8080/kb

</VirtualHost>

If you want to pass regardless of path ( aka not /kb )

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName kb.domain

    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080

</VirtualHost>

With this configuration work well only if I add kb at the end: example kb.domain/kb – stefanopulze Nov 13 '13 at 16:53
