Proxying with Apache on Windows
November 25, 2010
I wanted to proxy all local traffic onto a specific WAR file in a local tomcat. This was because a client was having trouble calling my service through Apache, but was working calling it direct.
I installed Apache on Windows, and then uncommented the following modules:
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
Then I used ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to redirect the traffic:
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/war-file-name/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/war-file-name/
