Thats because your configuration is incomplete, in order for Apache to
pass the cookie to the correct context you need to do some additional
configuration (or alternatively use a connector like mod_jk)
You may need to configure the jvmRoute parameter in server.xml, this
allows Apache to map to the correct Tomcat context, otherwise deploy
your web app in the Tomcat root context.
<Connector port="8082"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
proxyPort="80" disableUploadTimeout="true"
jvmRoute=T1/>
You also need to add a server mapping in Apache, one way to do this
easily is with a RewriteMap. (If you use Apache 2.2 then you could use
the in-built mod_proxy_balancer module). I also use Apache 2.0 so I just
make a static mapping, which looks something like this:
RewriteMap SERVERS rnd:/etc/apache2/servers.conf
--------------
servers.conf
--------------
T1 tomcat.server.com:8081
ALL tomcat.server.com:8081
#configure more instances for load balancing if you wish

I'm trying to proxy my Tomcat web application through Apache 2.0 using
mod_proxy.
I have uncommented the following in my server.xml:
<!-- Define a Proxied HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8082 -->
<!-- See proxy documentation for more information about using this. -->
<Connector port="8082"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
proxyPort="80" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
and I've added the following to my httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName foo.bar.com
ProxyPass / http://foobar.com:8082/app/
ProxyPassReverse / http://foobar.com:8082/app/
</VirtualHost>
The pages are being passed without any problems but the sessions are being
lost as cookies are not being passed. I'm guessing I need to add something
to the above stanza which rewrite the cookies. But what?
