Serve java application on port 8080 as default and blog.mydomain on port 80

Question

Hi.

My full application is a mix of a Wordpress blog and a Java application.

I’m running Apache and Apache Tomcat on the same droplet. In this way, if I try http://mydomain.com it runs my Wordpress blog, and if I try http://mydomain.com:8080 it runs my Java application. Both applications are running fine.

But what I need is:

http://mydomain.com runs the Java application;
http://blog.mydomain.com runs the Wordpress blog;

Is there anyway to do that with DNS or a virtual server? I’m very confused of how do I configure my Apache server to do that.

Thanks a lot.

No, but I made it.

For some reason I had to execute this:

a2enmod proxy_http

Now it’s working.

Thanks to you all.

Is there any output in /var/log/apache2/error.log

Thanks a lot! I’m almost there!

The blog.mydomain.com is working fine!! So, it’s 50% success!

But the www.mydomain.com is returning this:

–

Is there anything missing?

Listen 80
< VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomain.com

ProxyRequests Off

< Proxy *>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
< /Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
< /Virtualhost>

Those < > tag just got eaten …

You can’t setup apache and tomcat both on port 80

But you can setup both domain on apache with
mydomain.com proxying localhost:8080

The following command should be enough to to enable mod_proxy (ubuntu)
sudo a2enmod proxy

Then change your site config file to something like this:

Listen 80

ServerName mydomain.com

ProxyRequests Off

Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all

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

blog.mydomain.com ’s configs …

You have to install & enable mod_proxy
