remove the need for :8443 in URLs needing https:

[Qmail List]

Hello,

It is more difficult to re-write urls as:

https://www.domain.com:8443/index.jsp

as opposted to

https://www.domain.com/index.jsp

How can I configure Tomcat (and/or underlying Unix box) to not need the
:8443 explicit port reference in the url?

I tried changing the https /etc/services entry to port 8443 instead of 443,
but no luck.

Regards

[Pae Choi]

That is wha the connector is for.

how do you run tomcat on port 8443 or 443, with the official tomcat
distribtion you root rights for serving content on port 443 under linux.

You can run Tomcat as root and have it listen on 443, as well as port 80.
This is definitely possible, though some people try to avoid running web
services as root for security reasons.

John,

I'm using your documentation to try and connect tomcat 4.1.12 to apache
1.3.26. The page I am using is this one...
http://www.johnturner.com/howto/apache1-tomcat404-howto.html.

Anyway, I am looking at what you have for the workers.properties file and
see that you say to put a worker.ajp13.host=www.servername.com.

Does that mean we will need to create a different workers.properties file
for every virtual host, that we will need to create a separate entry for
every virtual host? My old setup just used worker.ajp13.host=localhost and
everything worked fine, but that was with tomcat 3.2.4.

Thanks for your help!

Brandon

P.S. Those documents are great, if I make any significant changes for my
configuration, I'll send them to you.

"localhost" is fine when your Tomcat instance is on the same physical
machine as Apache.

Some folks separate the two, and others use load balancing (one Apache, many
Tomcats). With Tomcat on a separate machine from Apache, the "host"
parameter in workers.properties would be a FQDN or an IP address of the
Tomcat server.

HTH
