[Dspace-general] redirecting port 8080 to 80

[Tim Donohue]

Hennie,

It sounds like it has to do with whatever you specified as your 
"JkMount" in either your "jk.conf" (if you have a separate config file 
for mod_jk) or your "httpd.conf" (if you just put the mod_jk 
configurations in the HTTPD config file).

If you specified the "JkMount" to be as follows:
JkMount /* ajp13

Then, *all* of your virtual hosts on that machine will be forwarded from 
Apache to your "ajp13" connector, which forwards them on to Tomcat.  So, 
if you have the following virtual hosts in Apache:
http://my-server-name/dspace/
http://my-server-name/host2/
http://my-server-name/host3/

Then, they will *all* be forwarded to Tomcat!

If you only want the Apache "dspace" virtual host to be forwarded 
through to Tomcat, then you need a JkMount similar to the following:
JkMount /dspace/* ajp13
(this means that only URLs matching http://my-server-name/dspace/* will 
be forwarded to Tomcat).


Does this make sense?
