Thread: apache to be used as proxy for tomcat applications

Hi,
I am trying to use Apache as a front end to an application which runs on a
Tomcat server.
On lan I am able to correctly see it but from internet things are not working.
I tried understanding mod_jk page but I was unable to get to the correct
settings.
following is the application I am trying to get up and running
hxxps://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+2.7
(the binary version of above page).

apache vhost can be read here

<VirtualHost *:80>


ServerName research.openitup.in
ProxyRequests off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPreserveHost Off

ProxyPass /portal ajp://192.168.1.4:8009/portal
ProxyPassReverse /portal ajp://192.168.1.4:8009/portal


ProxyPass / hxxp://192.168.1.4/
ProxyPassReverse / hxxp://192.168.1.4/

</VirtualHost>

On lan it is accessible
hxxp://192.168.1.4:8080/portal
perfectly but from internet I am not clear as what is wrong with it.
To access it from internet you need to type
hxxp://research.openitup.in/portal

Here is a relevant page to doc
hxxps://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/~steve.swinsburg/Fronting+Tomcat+with+Apache+via+mod_proxy_ajp

As per above doc I have done

<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

and a file named sakai.properties has been changed

serverUrl=hxxp://localhost:80

The server which faces internet and the server where research.openitup.in are different machines but sakai.

Sakai and research.openitup.in are running on same system
so as the doc says
to have

ProxyPass / hxxp://192.168.1.4:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / hxxp://192.168.1.4:8009/

The same is not possible for me since root of my site
research.openitup.in is itself proxied inside as

ProxyPass / hxxp://192.168.1.4/
ProxyPassReverse / hxxp://192.168.1.4/

So can any one suggest any thing in this situation.

Replace hxxp by http I was not able to post it because this is my first post on forum and I need to have 10 to post links.So replaced http by hxxp

just try this on your vhost:

Code:

ProxyRequests off

ProxyPass / ajp://192.168.0.4:8009/

<Proxy ajp://192.168.0.4:8009/*>
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from none
                Allow from all
</Proxy>
