[opencms-dev] mod_jk (was: instructions for proxying ...)

[Alexander Kandzior]

Well the whole point about the mod_proxy setup as documented _is_ to remove
the /opencms/opencms/ prefix yet still be able to use static export and all
other things. Many people have required the wish to get rid of this prefix. 

Best Regards,
Alex.
