John,
That's a really good excuse to do url-rewriting. In that case you might want to take a look at nginx (http://wiki.nginx.org/Main) as a high performance http server. Or Apache... -Jeroen On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 10:27 PM, John D. Hays <[hidden email]>wrote: > Jeroen, > > I can tell you for long established e-Commerce sites old URLs are very > important.

I am currently looking at using an IIS webserver to do my url rewrite and
redirects to the Ofbiz Tomcat app server. Do I need any plugins or configuration changes to the underlying Tomcat in Ofibz to accomplish this? -----Original Message----- From: Jeroen van der Wal [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 4:48 PM To: user Subject: Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules John, That's a really good excuse to do url-rewriting.

Hi Len,
I think the following document should be all you need to follow: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html Cheers, Chris Len Shein wrote: > I am currently looking at using an IIS webserver to do my url rewrite and > redirects to the Ofbiz Tomcat app server.

In reply to this post by Jeroen van der Wal-2
Len,
I still do not see your reply to the "why rewrite" question? Is the assumption made above correct? Can you let us know what the background is? We're at risk to be off into assumptions while not looking at what the requirement really is. All the above is correct, however a solution for rewriting is then probably putting an Apache (or other httpd) in front of OFBiz. OFBiz as such is agnostic of the URL is serves (that is my understanding). As such, it may be enough to manage multiple DNS entries for your domains to your public IP and then make sure the default app (assumed, ecommerce) is mounted to webroot.

Yes the assumption is correct, besides the fact I have converted an old site
to new which means I will need to maintain the old urls for a time being and redirect (301 redirect) to the new I also need some redirecting for SEO purposes and the bot engine urls coming in. -----Original Message----- From: Carsten Schinzer [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 6:10 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules Len, I still do not see your reply to the "why rewrite" question?

Hi Len,
I guess, then you are off on a 3-tier-setup track, i.e. Tier 1 - Apache + this Tier requires the (loadbalanced?) public IP + this service's public IP needs to be pointed at from the DNS entries of all your apps + includes your rewrite rules here + targets are into mountpoints of ofbiz app(s) on Tier2 Tier 2 - OFBiz + this Tier can run with a private IP + conventions on OFBiz mountpoints are relevant to your rewrite rules Tier 3 - Database + configure this tier just as described in the OFBiz setup guides Regards Carsten 2009/12/8 Len Shein <[hidden email]> > Yes the assumption is correct, besides the fact I have converted an old > site > to new which means I will need to maintain the old urls for a time being > and > redirect (301 redirect) to the new I also need some redirecting for SEO > purposes and the bot engine urls coming in. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Carsten Schinzer [mailto:[hidden email]] > Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 6:10 PM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules > > Len, > > > I still do not see your reply to the "why rewrite" question?

Yes that is the setup I am looking at except I am going to use IIs as my
webserver instead of Apache. I am using the following link as my guideline http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html Do you know of any loopholes I should be aware of from your experience? -----Original Message----- From: Carsten Schinzer [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 9:02 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules Hi Len, I guess, then you are off on a 3-tier-setup track, i.e. Tier 1 - Apache + this Tier requires the (loadbalanced?) public IP + this service's public IP needs to be pointed at from the DNS entries of all your apps + includes your rewrite rules here + targets are into mountpoints of ofbiz app(s) on Tier2 Tier 2 - OFBiz + this Tier can run with a private IP + conventions on OFBiz mountpoints are relevant to your rewrite rules Tier 3 - Database + configure this tier just as described in the OFBiz setup guides Regards Carsten 2009/12/8 Len Shein <[hidden email]> > Yes the assumption is correct, besides the fact I have converted an old > site > to new which means I will need to maintain the old urls for a time being > and > redirect (301 redirect) to the new I also need some redirecting for SEO > purposes and the bot engine urls coming in. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Carsten Schinzer [mailto:[hidden email]] > Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 6:10 PM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: Apache Mod Rewrite Rules > > Len, > > > I still do not see your reply to the "why rewrite" question?

Hi Len,
I am not aware of any, but also we do generally use Apache and have migrated all IIS, SunOne and others to it whereever we use Tomcat / JBoss / WebLogic behind. IIS is only an option for us where is is part of a .NET setup. Regards Carsten [The above is way beyond the context of this list.
