Ok, so defining my app as the ROOT one is definitely not an option.Now I'm
sorry to ask but could you be a little more specific about where I need to
add those mod_rewrite configuration bits? Because I'm not really an Apache
configuration wizard and mod_rewrite is especially scary to me.
No Problem.
1) Loading the module (assuming httpd 2.0 or 2.2 here)
You need to add a line of the form
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
to the global part of your configuration. There shoud be already a coupl
of such LoadModule lines, maybe mod_rewrite is already there. If you are
using httpd coming via some Linux distro, then you need to find the
file, where your distro handles loading modules. This differs a bit from
distro to distro.
2) Connfiguring the RewriteRule in your VirtualHost
Add the RewriteRule I proposed and also a "RewriteEngine On".
If you want to check, what the rewriting is doing, also add a
RewriteLog /some/log/path/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
9 is very verbose, not for regular production. With 0 you can silence
the file, higher numbers mean more log info.
If you want to fight against getting scared:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html

I've got my JBoss 4.2 server running and I managed to configure one
virtual
host with mod_jk to get to it without having to enter the 8080 port.Here
is
my VirtualHost configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName myserver.com
JkMount /* loadbalancer
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/myserver-error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/myserver-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
So no when I access the JIRA application installed on this server, I can
do
it either from http://myserver.com:8080/jira or from
http://myserver.com/jira
Now I would like to be able to skip the jira suffix and access this same
application from http://myserver.com, but without making JIRA the home
application on my JBoss server.
Is that possible? How can I do that?
Use mod_rewrite in Apache httpd and a configuration similar to:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /jira/$1 [PT]
and
JkMount /jira|* loadbalancer
(JkMount /* would do it to, but is less precise).
If you want mod_jk to act after an internal rewrite, you need to use the
"PT" flag in the RewriteRule.
If it doesn't work, add a RewriteLog and see, what your RewriteRules are
actually doing.
A totally different approach would be, to deploy the jira webapp as the
so-called ROOT context in Tomcat. Then it would be reachable via
http://myserver.com:8080/ and thus also via http://myserver.com/ by the
same JkMount /*. Although all applications should be freely eployable under
any context name, not all are actually. So you would need to experiment, if
you can deploy jira as ROOT webapp. Using the ROOT webapp for normal
production is not recommendable in general, because if you always deploy
your webapps as ROOT, you will no longer be able to share a Tomcat instance
for multiple webapps (at least not in the same host), and secondly the ROOT
context catches all requests, that do not map to any other webapp, so is
generally also a good indicator if something is going wrong.
Have fun,
Rainer
