Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Apache + Tomcat

Okay, this is what I have, it still doesn't work, but hey, it's the
trying that counts

In the httpd.conf file, I removed the alias I had pointing to the
directory /webuser/directoryname

Then I enabled the proxy module in the httpd.conf file and added the
following:

ProxyPass /url alias/ http://server ip:8000/tomcat server alias
ProxyReversePass /url alias/ http://server ip:8000/tomcat server alias

Although where in the httpd.conf file I'm supposed to stick these
lines is beyond me, but I presume that they are supposed to be stuck
in the area where you enable the proxy.

Now I get a forbidden error, I don't have permissions to access the
/alias/ on this server.

The idea of a proxy is that apache acts as a remote browser for you.
You define URL in your server (e.g. http://your-server/jsp-stuff)
which looks like it refers to a local directory, like
DOCUMENT_ROOT/jsp-stuff. This directory doesn't need to exist (in
fact, it shouldn't). The ProxyPass directive matches requests to this
URL to another server (Tomcat). This means that if you have:

ProxyPass /jsp-stuff http://tomcat-server:8000/jsp

then a request for http://your-server/jsp-stuff/page.jsp will cause
apache to request http://tomcat-server:8000/jsp/page.jsp for you and
return the data as if the client requested the page directly from the
tomcat server.

There is a wealth of documentation - go to the main apache site and
follow the links for Jakarta.

Rgds,
Owen Boyle
