If you want to run another web server in front of Tomcat, you'll have to install and configure /that/ web server. It sounds like you're trying to set up Apache httpd (which is a web server) so that it proxies (some?) traffic to Tomcat. Where is Tomcat already running? If it's already running on another box, and this new Windows machine is intended to be the "proxy", then your first step is to uninstall Tomcat. Really. Next, download Apache httpd (you can find it here: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi). The latest version is 2.2.11. Get the windows binary and install it. Now, you'll be able to find things like httpd.conf (part of Apache httpd). You will want to configure a module called mod_proxy_ajp or mod_proxy_http (use the 'ajp' one if you want to use the binary connector or the 'http' one is you want a plain-text connector... which one should you use? it depends...). Basically, your configuration should look like this, in httpd.conf: ProxyPass [path to proxy] protocol://host/remote path For instance, if you were running Tomcat on a server called "scratchy" and your web application's context path was "/itchy" and you had an HTTP connector running in Tomcat on port 8080, then this would be an appropriate setup: ProxyPass /itchy http://scratchy:8080/itchy On the other hand, if you were using the binary protocol on port 8009 and everything else were the same, you would do this: ProxyPass /itchy ajp://scratchy:8009/itchy This should be enough to get you to ask a /lot/ of other questions. ;) Good luck, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAknbvEIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDzrgCdFy1cUkccBhuntygu1U9rPOLt D+0AnRfvnYDuteatEBSMB9kNy/el0Gua =DgQl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
