Hello, I have been struggling for the past couple of weeks to redirect external traffic from the Apache 2 server to Tomcat 5.5 on a godaddy dedicated server.
We have created a new domain on the server, which default public path is /home/myadmin/public_html/ when someone points there browser to www.mydomain.com At the same time I have uploaded and deployed the application under usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain/ As I understand at this time web content is served by the apache server and not Tomcat. What I have been trying to do is to have all pages static and dynamic be served by Tomcat. Godaddy offers limited support unless we buy into their assisted service plan. I followed some steps they initially suggested which involved creating a symbolic link between the default public directory /home/myadmin/public_html/ and the application directory usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain/ by using the command: ln -s /usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain/index.html /home/myadmin/public_html With this I hoped all requests from www.mydomain.com going to /home/myadmin/public_html would be automatically redirected to the actual tomcat content starting with the deployed application's index.html page. But unfortunately this does not work. I am always returned the 404 error message. Is there a known or recommended way to resolve this issue? After some searching I believe there are workarounds involving editing the /usr/java/tomcat-5.5/conf/server.xml and the etc/httpd/conf/http.conf files. Would it be possible someone to provide some general steps how to do this? Many thanks for any practical help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
