Release Candidate History

A common scenario is to have tomcat running over http on localhost, and use Apache HTTP server to make it visible to the outside world.

For example, you have tomcat running greenstone on port 8383, with context /greenstone3. These are set in build.properties using properties:localhost.port.http and greenstone.context.

Your Apache webserver is running as https://mysite.org.nz. To have the tomcat available at mysite.org.nz/archive, for example, add something like the following to your apache config file.

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerAdmin [email protected]
  ServerName mysite.org.nz

  LogFormat "%a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
