I've asked this question in a few places and I've found no answer. It should be pretty simple and a pretty common problem. Unfortunately I know nothing about tomcat and mod_proxy so I'm unable to figure it out.
I have a few apps running in tomcat, installed as wars and I can access them at
myserver.com:8080/myapp
I simply want to create an apache vhost that forwards myapp.myserver.com to this myserver.com:8080/myapp using mod_proxy.
Hudson is a perfect example, there's no extra config, just a deployed war. So I set up the following apache vhost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName hudson.myserver.ca
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/hudson
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/hudson
</VirtualHost>
and my proxy.conf is:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
# ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
ProxyVia On
</IfModule>
Every request on every app has the same behavior. I go to hudson.myserver.ca for example, and it for some reason forwards on to hudson.myserver.ca/hudson, which gives a tomcat 404 that says
The requested resource (/hudsonhudson/) is not available.
happens for hudson, jira, confluence, and any other app.
What's with the extra 'hudson' and why isn't this working?
