Apache plugin support for WLS 6.1 is not working for me.

Question

Following are the additional configurations I used in httpd.conf after doing LoadModule
& AddModule
Alias /weblogic "/opt/BEA/wlserver6.1/config/petstore/applications"
<Location /weblogic>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
</Location>
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
WebLogicHost localhost
WebLogicPort 7003
</IfModule>
I get Permission denied & not even 403/forbidden for Petstore example jsps. I
am trying
to proxy it by URL basis not on mime type. I tried doing same thing for one of
my own domains
& server. The results were same. Now, If I try to comment out the Alias line from
my httpd.conf
file, it gives me 404 error. Can anyone help me out in this regard? I doubt my
configurations
in my weblogic's config.xml file.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi.
I'm not clear on what you are trying to accomplish with the alias pointing to the absolute
path of your WLS applications directory. This is not how the plugin works. As you have it
set up now the plugin looks for URLs with /weblogic in them and proxies those requests to a
running instance of WLS.
For example, the plugin will accept the following URL and forward it to WLS:
http://host:port/weblogic/index.html
WLS will respond IF you have a webapp named weblogic. From your example it looks like you
are trying to proxy to the petstore example. The URL to access the petstore example that
ships with wls is something like: http://localhost:7003/estore/control/main so if you want
to proxy by path you may want to proxy when the path contains /estore instead of /weblogic.
Hope this helps.
