Rupert,
Just for a little more background - I'll concentrate on
mod_proxy/mod_rewrite as there seems to be plenty info on mod_jk out
there - this will hopefully help you on your way...
mod_proxy turns your apache server into a proxy server, allowing you to
pass requests through to the local/remote application server.
mod_rewrite allows you to transform the URL coming in to address the
appropriate appserver.
E.g. you may want all requests coming in for
http://www.mydomain.com to
go to
http://localhost:8080/mydomain - mod_rewrite transforms the URL
and mod_proxy passes the request.
So you might end up with httpd.conf entries like this (where x.x.x.x is
mydomain.com's ip)...
-----------------------
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com mydomain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$
http://localhost:8080/mydomain/$1 [P,L]
RewriteRule ^/myimages(.*)$
http://localhost:8080/an_image_folder/$1 [P,L]
ProxyPassReverse /
http://localhost:5000/mydomain/</VirtualHost>
-----------------------
Note the entry for myimages, this is where this combination comes into
it's own - here you have mapped requests coming in to myimages through
to a completely different directory (it could be a different server if
you wanted)
Regardless of whether you chose mod_jk or the above this is a real pain
when you're doing it for the first time. I hope this helps you get
everything sorted out!
Kind Regards
