I'm unclear why you don't want to reverse proxy /opencms/, /resources/,
and /export. Don't those directories also exist through tomcat? Do you
ever want to see /opencms/opencms on the URL? If so, why the
RedirectPermanent?
I need to have Apache sitting in-front of OpenCMS but it serves other
things, so reverse-proxying the root is a bad idea. Unless I explicitly
*exclude* apache's own directories (I suppose).
I'm able to successfully reverse proxy tomcat's own /admin/ and
/manager/ locations through Apache to Tomcat using:
ProxyPass /admin/ http://localhost:8082/admin/
ProxyPass /manager/ http://localhost:8082/manager/
So I though I should be able to redirect /cmss/ to my own module using:
ProxyPass /cmss/
http://localhost:8082/opencms/opencms/system/modules/gagne.tgagne/
ProxyPassReverse /cmss/
http://localhost:8082/opencms/opencms/system/modules/gagne.tgagne/
which works for localhost/cmss/main.jsp but not for much that links off
it--especially nothing using <cms:link/>.
All-in-all, as easy as it has been to reverse-proxy IIS and other tomcat
servers, I'm confused why OpenCMS presents such a problem.
Why must it be the root application?
Should we every attempt this with static exporting enabled?
Should I run a separate Tomcat just for OpenCMS or should it be able to
co-exist with other Tomcat applications front-ended with the same Apache?
