Apache forwarding question (simple I think)
am 03.10.2007 01:18:51 von JeffSaraccoHi all,
I am kind of new to this and have a rather simple question. I have a
web service running on a server on port 5757, the web server basically
receives an XML message and sends one back ( I don't know if this is
important or not but whatever). The service address that I put into
the client is of the format http://servername.net:5757/servicename .
Anyway, what I want to do is set up a "nicer looking" address that
people can put into the client. So something just like http://blah.com/foo...
I have been looking around and it seems like I might be able to use
Virtual Hosts in apache but am unsure of how to set it up. I want any
requests that come into blah.com to just go to the homepage (which is
actually already setup) but anything that comes into blah.com/foo to
go to the server running on port 5757.
Is this something I can do with virtual hosts or will I have to use
something like mod_proxy? Any examples would be very beneficial as,
like I said, I am rather new to web services.
Thanks
- Jeff
