Win2003, Apache2.2 & Tomcat6 Apache proxy to Tomcat

--0022150488a710cfc004917ff21c
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I am running a Win2003 server using Apache2.2 to basically just proxy to
Tomcat6 with SSL.

I had tried running just tomcat6 but from everything that I read it was
better for SSL traffic to proxy using Apache, so that is what i did.

Right now I am just pointing it to the Tomcat default page, that is easy
enough to change later.

Here is where I am at.

1. On the server if I go to http: //localhost: it brings up the page fine.
2. On the server https: //localhost also brings up the page fine. Of
course I do get a certificate error because the SSL cert is for my domain.
But it does work and the samples run fine.

3. From either the server or another PC, if I goto http: //my. domain.com
it works fine and brings up the Tomcat default page.
4. From either place going to https the browser says waiting and eventually
returns an error.

In my httpd.conf file I have:

Listen 80
Listen 443
The mod_proxy 's, mod_ssl & mod_vhost_alias are all turned on.



In my httpd-vhosts.conf file here is what I have:

NameVirtualHost *:80 (although on this try it isn't named, shows error in
the logs but doesnt seem to hurt anything)
NameVirtualHost *:443

SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin

ProxyPass / http: //localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http: //localhost:8080/

SSLEngine On
SSLProxyEngine on
SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/certname.cer
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/keyname.key
ProxyPass / httpa: //localhost:8443/
ProxyPassReverse / httpa: //localhost:8443/
ErrorLog "logs/mydomain.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/mydomain.com-access.log" common


I have tried several different rewrites on this and just not getting it to
work.
I did put the port 80 => 8080 pass in a VirtualHost tag, it works fine on
http: //localhost but when using https it gives some bogus message of the
server being too busy.
I took the 443 =>8443 directives out of the VirtualHost tag and that works
fine on http: //localhost but when using https it goes to the Apache
default page.
No matter what I do, I still get an error from http: //my. domain.com while
http: //my. domain.com runs fine.

Any ideas? I am definately not an expert with Apache setup. I am more a DB
& ERP system guy who has been writting more and more jsp apps.
Now I have one that I need to secure and having one heck of a time doing it.
(Sorry for the spaces. e-mail was seeing them as URLs and the listserv SPAM
filter was blocking the email)
Thanks in advance for any help.

I assume you have a more complete SSL config included, like setting the
cipher suite and enabling SSL session handling. See the default
configuration provided with the Apache web server.

> ProxyPass / httpa: //localhost:8443/
> ProxyPassReverse / httpa: //localhost:8443/

httpa does not exist, and the space between the scheme and the rest of
the URL won't be good either. What do you really have in your config here?

If you only want Tomcat to do http and the Apache reverse proxy should
do the full https, then use again

ProxyPass / http: //localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http: //localhost:8080/

If it still doesn't work:

What error message do you get in the client? If it is the general error
message provided by Microsoft Internet Explorer, use some other browser
to see the full error message.

Is there any message in the error log of Apache?

Sorry.
Yes they are https, not https just me mis-typing.
The email client was seeing all of those as links and the apache listserv
bounced my original email as spam. So I added the spaces to get it to go
thru. They are not in the conf files.

Yes general message in IE, I will try it in firefox and others and see what
I get. Really not getting anything in the error log, first place I looked.
Thanks

Don't overlook my hint about using port 8080 instead of 8443.

Re: Win2003, Apache2.2 & Tomcat6 Apache proxy to Tomcat

--000325579d92406d7404918dc6b4
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Made the change to port 8080.
I also changed the host file on the server to bypass DNS for
www.mydomain.com and to just loop back to the local IP address instead.
Between those 2 one of them worked.
From the outside I am getting a connection time out in Firefox.
So, since it is working fine from the server, with it not having to leave
the network and come back in, I am assuming that https traffic is being
blocked by the firewall. At least that seems reasonable to me. I do not do
the firewall work for this company but I would think when I asked them to
open up internet traffic to this server that they would of opened up port 80
& 443 traffic, but who knows.
Thanks,
Hopefully this has taken care of my problem.
Mike
