apache2.2 tomcat5.5.27 Windows 2008 virtual hosts
Dear all, This is the first time I have to set up a web application (Struts 1.1) and I have been hung up with this problem for days. I have searched and read every how to and other forum, mail list, blog I could find and I am probably misunderstanding something very obvious and simple. I have a Windows server 2008. An Apache2.2 httpserver is listening on port 8080. The application is deployed as a docbase on Tomcat 5.5.27. The Apache httpserver is running as a service. Everything worked before but after reinstalling the httpserver everything went wrong. When I go to http://retour.mycompany.com/ I get: http status 404 - / message / descripion The requested resource (/) is not available. I add my configuration here and hope somebody can easily point out what I missed or misunderstood. => Apache: httpd.conf: ServerRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2" # # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, instead of the default.

Re: apache2.2 tomcat5.5.27 Windows 2008 virtual hosts
Hi André, Thank you so much for the quick response. I will check your feedback as soon as I have access to the server again. The reason for the Apache http server is because I thought I need it to handle the virtual hosting. As for the port 80, something else is already using it on the server. First I will try to have Tomcat listen on 8081 and see where that gets me. Then I will try without the Apache http server.(though my predecessor must have had a reason to use it) In the mean time kind regards, Piet On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 2:57 PM, André Warnier wrote: > Piet, > > Thanks for providing all the information needed to help you. > Not everyone does, and it's a p. in the a. > > But your configuration is a bit strange. > Actually, it cannot work the way it is described, because you have both > Apache httpd AND Apache Tomcat (2 different processes) trying to "listen" on > the same port (8080).

Re: apache2.2 tomcat5.5.27 Windows 2008 virtual hosts
Thank you for the feedback. Sorry for the incomplete information. The Apache http server is functioning as a reverse proxy. Multiple applications have to be accessed through the internet. Now, I have Tomcat listening on 8081. Going to retour.mycompany.com:8080 or retour.mycompany.com:8081 gives a network timeout. (The server at retour.mycompany.com is taking too long to respond.) On the other hand, when I use the ip address like http://192.168.210.143:8080/ I get the resource (/) not found error while http://192.168.210.143:8081/ gives a network timeout. Tomcat without the Apache http server service gives the same network timeout when accessed through 8081. Hope this gives a clearer picture. Kind regards.

Sorry David, The addresses and names are fakes for reasons of confidentiality. The addresses and names in my code have worked before though.

Re: apache2.2 tomcat5.5.27 Windows 2008 virtual hosts
Hi David, You can find the server.xml close to the bottom of my first post. I get very little logging. The only trace is a failure of a GET(/) in one of the logs. I will check with the system administrator if anything was changed related to DNS. The Apache server definitely works. I will try Tomcat locally as soon as I have access to the server again.

Re: apache2.2 tomcat5.5.27 Windows 2008 virtual hosts
Hi, Just one last update. Nothing changed related to DNS or firewall rules. Tomcat does not work via localhost either. Kind regards and thank you all for the feedback.
