Getting my tomcat app to show up on port 80 on MediaTemple

  • 772

My boss just switched her web hosting to MediaTemple VPS (in spite of my recommendation of Linode or Panix). I've got everything running now except for one thing - the app only shows up on port 8080. Does anybody know how to set up a mod_proxy or mod_jk redirect on MediaTemple so that it will show up on http://<our domain>/foo?

    Ok, this is what I had to do:

    The file ~/conf/httpd.include for the domain said that you could put things in ~/conf/vhost.conf, but that didn't work. Anything I put in there was apparently not read or recognized, and nothing appeared in /var/log/httpd/error_log to say why, so I suspect the file wasn't read at all. On the other hand, trying to do a "ProxyPass" in ~/httpdocs/.htaccess got a server failure, with a notice in error_log saying that you can't do that there. Then I discovered that /etc/httpd/conf.d/ had a file called "proxy_ajp_conf" which had some commented out some ProxyPass commands. Putting a directive in there did what I wanted. The only downside is that it does it for all domains on this host, not just the one I wanted it for. But that's minor.

    ProxyPass /foo ajp://localhost:8009/foo
