We can redirect apache request to tomcat by enabling the mod_proxy module in httpd.conf.
Uncomment the modules in httpd.conf
=========================
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
========================================
Add following lines in /etc/httpd.conf under virtual host:
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /
http://domain.tld:8080/ retry=1 acquire=3000 timeout=600 Keepalive=On
ProxyPassReverse /
http://domain.tld:8080/ProxyBadHeader Ignore
# Configuring the timeout
Timeout 2400
ProxyTimeout 2400
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
==================================
Add following changes in : /etc/tomcat6/server.xml
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
connectionUploadTimeout="36000000" disableUploadTimeout="false"
connectionTimeout="60000" redirectPort="8443" />
=====================================
Please note that the option "disableUploadTimeout="false". The default option is disableUploadTimeout="true" which might give 502 gateway timeout error.
======================================
/etc/init.d/tomcatx restart
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
===================================
Done.
