Hi all
I'm setting up a website using Apache webserver 2.2.11 / mod_jk 1.2.28 (Windows
Server 2000) that connects to two
backend Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 server (Windows Server 2003) with load balancing.
The webserver also uses mod_proxy to forward some requests to an IIS5 server
running on the same server but on a
different port.
The IIS5 hosts an Episerver 3 installation.
To speed things up, Apache webserver is serving the /images folder used by
Episerver using an Alias directive
Alias /images "E:/Inetpub/EPiServer3/root/images"
<Directory "E:/Inetpub/EPiServer3/root/images">
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
For mod_jk, the uriworkermap.properties -file specifies that all requests to
/images/... should be sent to
Apache Tomcat since the webapp contains a lot of images with that path
/images/*=wlb
Is there some way to achieve any of the following behaviours?:
1. A request for /images/logo.jpg is processed by Apache webserver (This
file is located on the Apache webserver, in
E:/Inetpub/EPiServer3/root/images)
2. Mod_jk forwards the request to an Apache Tomcat server which returns a
404 since logo.jpg does not exist
on the server
3. Apache webserver detects this 404 response and fetches logo.jpg from
E:/Inetpub/EPiServer3/root/images and returns it
Alternative
1. Same as above
2. Apache webserver returns logo.jpg from E:/Inetpub/EPiServer3/root/images
(3. In the case that logo.jpg is not found in
E:/Inetpub/EPiServer3/root/images, an attempt is made to send the request to
the Apache Tomcat server using mod_jk)
I have done some research and came accross the mod_jk option ForwardDirectories
but it doesnt seem to handle any of the above
scenarios? It seems more related to directory indexing?! (I'm quite new with
Apache Webserver / Apache Tomcat :-) )
Thank you for your attention!
Best Regards
