AW: [opencms-dev] Problem with mod_proxy,parameters and sessions

[Daniel López]

Hi Manuel,

It seems that you have OpenCMS configured to be served under the suffix 
/vpmcms/ and that might be the problem. Reading the documentation 
regarding the use of mod_proxy, you should have configured Tomcat to 
serve OpenCMS as /, not /vpmcms/opencms/. And then your proxy settings 
should look like...
...
# Log only non-redirect requests in "normal" log file
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\/opencms\/*" redirect
CustomLog logs/localhost-access.log common env=!redirect

ProxyPass         /opencms/               !
RedirectPermanent /opencms/               http://www.vpm.at/

ProxyPass         /resources/             !
ProxyPass         /export/                !

ProxyPass         /                       http://127.0.0.1:8082/opencms/
ProxyPassReverse  /                       http://127.0.0.1:8082/opencms/
...

If you don't have opencms at the root level, then you might get links 
not working properly. Anyway, you could try to have it running under 
/vpmcms/, but then your mod_proxy would look like this(note the regular 
expression in SetEnvIf, '/' is escaped):
...
# Log only non-redirect requests in "normal" log file
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\/vpmcms\/opencms\/*" redirect
CustomLog logs/localhost-access.log common env=!redirect

ProxyPass         /vpmcms/opencms/               !
RedirectPermanent /vpmcms/opencms/               http://www.vpm.at/vpmcms/

ProxyPass         /vpmcms/resources/             !
ProxyPass         /vpmcms/export/                !

ProxyPass         /vpmcms 
http://127.0.0.1:8082/vpmcms/opencms/
ProxyPassReverse  /vpmcms 
http://127.0.0.1:8082/vpmcms/opencms/
...

But, if you wids to turn http://myserver.com/vpmcms/opencms/de/... into
http://myserver.com/de/..., then you need to set OpenCms as ROOT web 
application inside tomcat (getting rid of the /vmpcms/ suffix) and then 
use the first configuration. And I think you cannot get rid completely 
of the second 'opencms' suffix, as that's the way OpenCMS knows it is a 
dynamic resource.

I hope it helps,
D.
