I've configured Apache web server and Tomcat like this:
I created a new file in apache2/sites-available, named it "myDomain" with this content:
| Code: | <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@myDomain.com
ServerName myDomain.com
ServerAlias www.myDomain.com
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009
<Proxy *>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options -Indexes
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost> |
Enabled mod_proxy and myDomain
| Code: | a2enmod proxy_ajp
a2ensite myDomain |
Edited Tomcat's server.xml (inside the Engine tag)
| Code: | <Host name="myDomain.com" appBase="webapps/myApp">
<Context path="" docBase="."/>
</Host>
<Host name="www.myDomain.com" appBase="webapps/myApp">
<Context path="" docBase="."/>
</Host> |
This works great. But I don't like to put static files (html, images, videos etc.) into {tomcat home}/webapps/myApp's subfolders instead I'd like to put them the apache webserver's root WWW directory's subdirectories. And I'd like Apache web server to serve these files alone.
How could I do this? So all incoming request will be forwarded to Tomcat except those that ask for a static file. |

Add an exception to the ProxyPass
e.g.
| Code: |
ProxyPass /static !
ProxyPass /javascript !
ProxyPass /images !
ProxyPass /another !
