12. Installing an Apache reverse proxy as a front-end to your MMBase server

Installing an Apache reverse proxy is an easy alternative to the JK 2 Connector to use Apache as a front-end to your Tomcat server.

Add to your Apache (virtual) server configuration (replace <hostname> with your hostname): 

  
  ProxyPass /tomcat/ http://<hostname>:8080/
  ProxyPassReverse /tomcat/ http://<hostname>:8080/
  ProxyPass /mmbase/ http://<hostname>:8080/mmbase-webapp/
  ProxyPassReverse /mmbase/ http://<hostname>:8080/mmbase-webapp/

This allows you to access your Tomcat server as (replace <hostname> with your hostname): 

  
  http://<hostname>/tomcat/

and your MMBase server as (replace <hostname> with your hostname): 

  
  http://<hostname>/mmbase/
