Apache 2 proxy for Tomcat 7
- by hsnm
Following the how-to, I wanted to make a proxy for traffic to the address /app to be processed by Tomcat 7.
I added this to my httpd.conf:
LoadModule proxy_module {path-to-modules}/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
ProxyPass /app http://localhost:8081
ProxyPassReverse /app http://localhost:8081
I also have this on my server.xml:
<Connector port="8081" enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000"
proxyName="localhost"
proxyPort="80"/>
And I have the folder /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/app with my application files.
I restarted both Tomcat 7 and Apache 2 after doing the configurations above.
Problem:
When navigating to my webpage.com/app, I get the error 500. I consulted apache logs, it says:
[warn] proxy: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /app. If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule.
Update:
This is running in ubuntu.
I resolved this by adding LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so to my httpd.conf.
Now I have another question: How can I make this proxy to work on SSL through port 443?
