Apache & Tomcat: ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse

Question

I'am having troubles configuring Apache and Tomcat, this is the scenario: I have an Apache Web Server, running and working normally, I can access to this one just typing: ``` http://localhost ``` Also, in this host, I have a Tomcat running and working fine; I've created a mini web-app which files are inside "prueba" directory, I can access typing: ``` http://localhost:8080/prueba ``` (I know that Apache is running in 80 port and Tomcat in 8080) What I want to do is that througt Apache an user can access to 'pruebas'(running on Tomcat), I mean: ``` http://localhost/prueba ``` I've readen a lot of this, and I think that there are 2 ways to do this, and I've decided enabling the proxy modules(proxy and proxy_ajp, with a2enmod), also I've readed I must edit this file: sites-available/default, this is the content: ``` NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName 127.0.0.1 DocumentRoot /var/www ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /static/ ! ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:800…

Accepted Answer

You have to put

```
 ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
 ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
```

on your apache virtual host

Then you have to uncomment ajp listener in tomcat

```
<Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
```

Then you have to configure host and context path in server.xml
