This is the simplest way to re-route requests from the Apache HTTPd to the Geronimo servers (or any other server you may have). To use this feature you will need to enable some specific modules and add a few lines to the HTTPd configuration. These steps are described next.
- Open the
httpd.conf
file located in the<httpd_home>\conf
directory. - Look for the following LoadModule directives and uncomment them by removing the # at the beginning of the line.
Code Block LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
- At the bottom of the
httpd.conf
add the following lines to enable the re-rountingrouting.Code Block ProxyPass /console http://localhost:8080/console
ProxyPass /images http://localhost:8080/images
ProxyPassreverse / http://localhost:8080/
You may need to add more ProxyPass directives depending on the requirements of your application. The last ProxyPassreverse directive captures the responses from the Geronimo server and masks the URL as it would be directly responded by the Apache HTTPd hiding the identity/location of the Geronimo server.
...
As the result of this configuration, when you point your browser to http://locahost/console, the request will be redirected to http://localhost:8080/console. This option allows to re-route URLs and ports.
Note: If you prefer to use mod_proxy_ajp rather than mod_proxy_http, you need to load proxy_ajp_module
in httpd.conf
and change the routing port to 8009(default) as followed:
