Fronting with Apache HTTPD

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to front JForum with a different url than the servlet that JForum is installed at. Hard to explain in words so here is my setup:

I call apache on http://localhost/forum/ it correctly forwards to Tomcat and I get the text from the forum base page but all pictures and links there are broken since they use /JForum-2.1.6/ as base (servlet context) not just /forum/. (I thought that if I put forum url to http://localhost/forum/ it would be respected by the JForum servlet now it seems to use the servlet context)

I my my Apache httpd.conf I have
<Location /forum/>
ProxyPass ajp://localhost:8009/JForum-2.1.6/
</Location>

Maybe I could fix it with a better Apache config but I can't find any setup infor for mod_jk1 on windows for v2.2+ any tip is most welcome

PS An idea would be to have a separate servlet context variable in the admin configuration

Your context will have to be called "/jforum" as well. There is no other way to do that.

we are also trying to front jforum on apache. the only problem is after the message post redirect, it goes to the tomcat url instead of apache. any ideas on this one? i'm beginning to think it is a tomcat configuration issue.

thanks!
