How to configure Apache to serve static content? Please Help

Hi Guys,
I have a set of servers that are:
- Apache acting as a Load Balance;
- Admin Server;
- A cluster with 2 managed servers.
I have a web application deployed on my cluster, but I would like that the static content would be delivered by the Apache.
How should I do it?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Daniel,
A Reverse Proxy could do this but keep in mind that the primary goal of the RP is to shield your back channel infrastructure IP/access from either Internet or your private network e.g. secure your back channel infrastructure with a Firewall and expose it only to your Reverse Proxy infrastructure; quite effective for DoS type of attack.
Apache can be configured to do both static content as well as Reverse Proxy.

The simple answer is to download a web server that has a web container already integrated on it, so all that painful configuration work is avoided.
You can use the mature SJS Web Server 6.1 SP5 at
http://www.sun.com/webserver
Or you can try a preview of the upcoming version at
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=446518d5
You will get better performance and security, with easy of use, at about the same price ;)

Serving static content from a directory

Is it possible to configure WebLogic to serve static content (files) from a directory via an HTTP GET?
What I need is similar to the Apache functionality of publishing a directory by mapping a URL (http://weblogic.server.xx/somePrefix) to a directory on the file-system (e.g. /path/to/some/dir) and allow one to:
- list the directory content by visiting the URL
- fetch files by doing an HTTP GET (this would be by clicking on a file in the listing)
Can one do this without adding a separate HTTP server on the same machine as WebLogic?

I believe if you created a WEB-INF directory at that location and added a skeleton web.xml file, you could specify that location when you deployed a new application from the admin console. I believe there should be an option to allow listing the directory contents, perhaps somewhere in the server definition tabs.

How to configure apache for ssl in windows platform

hi all,
can anyone help me expalin how to configure apache for ssl in windows platform.

George,
I would take the following 'first steps'
1)Install Apache20 on your Windows machine following the Apache online documentation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/misc/tutorials.html
2)Make sure you can 'serve up' static HTML content from your Apache Server
3)Install Weblogic Server per our online documentation
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs61/install/index.html
4)Also, make sure you can 'serve up' both static and dynamic (e.g., JSP) content
directly from WLS server
5)Once you have both of the above 'sanity' checks attempt to configure a simple
proxy by ppath or mime type via our online documentation

How to configure Apache Virtual Hosts?

Hi, I was wondering, how does configure Apache virtual hosts for Mac OS X Client 10.4.5? At this time, I have added
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/janus
ServerName janus.php.test
ErrorLog /private/var/log/httpd/janus.php.com-error_log
CustomLog /private/var/log/httpd/janus.php.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Finally, when I try to use the name in the browser, I get the following error message:
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://janus.php.test/” because it can’t find the server “janus.php.test”.
Well, I must go and thanks in advance.
Peace,

If you want to use the fqdn you defined and can/do not want to register it as a Internet Domain you can add it to the hosts file in /etc/hosts if you are comfortable using terminal and the shell
open a terminal
and use the following commands
cd /etc
sudo vim hosts
(you will be prompted for your password here, enter it and hit return)
in vim scroll to the last line which will look like
::1 localhost
type
i
(you are now in insert mode)
type the following line
192.168.0.15 janus.php.test
(replace the ip address with the ip address of the host in question)
hit Control-C
type
:w (vim will confirm in the last line)
type
:q
you are back at the terminal
test your new hosts file by typing
ping janus.php.test
Hope this helps

How to configure trex name server

hi all
while creating index i am getting the error
Index could not be created; creating index failed: TREX Name Server (including back-up servers) is down or not accessable. (Errorcode 7217)
for the above error i need to configure the trex name server using TREX Configuration in the J2EE Engine in j2ee visual administrator .
can any one tell me the clear path that where to configure the above and where j2ee visual administrator installed how to configure the name server
awaiting for replies
regards
ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
In order to access the Visual Administrator, go to Start > Programs > SAP J2EE Engine > Visual Administrator. After you login, you will see 2 nodes i.e. Dispatcher and Server. Expand the Server node. Then go to "Services" and expand it. Then go all the way down to "TREX Service". Then on the right hand side, go to the property "nameserver.address" where you will key in "tcpip://<nameserver>:<port>". Then hit "Update" and click on the "Save" button. Then when you go to TRex Monitor, you should be able to see the Name Server running. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sri
P.S Please rewards points if you find this helpful. Thanks.

Problem in configuring Apache Web Server v2.2

Hi,
I am facing problem in configuring apache web server with tomcat 7.0. I want to configure the web server in such a way that I can access the application only using the localhost(without appending the port to it). Ex I want to access the application through "http://localhost" instead of "http://localhost:8080".
I tried to configure it using the concept of vertical clustering and "load balancer", but failed to do that.
Can anyone please tell me steps to configure apache web server with tomcat or provide any useful link / urls to do that one.
Thanks in advance

The only way you can achieve it is by running the web server to listen on port 80
Please change the port in your httpd.conf file for the webserver and restart it.
If any other processes are running/using on port 80 on that machine, then please stop them, otherwise you will not be able to achieve your requirement.

Values are just samples only. use what ever appropriate for your environment. Understand each of them before using in production.

Problem in configuring Apache Tomcat Server

Hi, I am facing problem in configuring Apache Tomcat server. I have downloaded its version 4.1.18 from the Internet. After unzipping and installing it, I have enabled the Root Context, enabled the Invoker Servlet, haven't changed the port to 80 from default 8080, have turned on the Servlet Reloading, have set the Java_Home variable in autoexec.bat, and have changed the DOS memory setting to 4096.
Also, the concerned lines in my autoexec.bat file look like this:
path c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\jdk1.2;c:\jsdk2.0;
c:\JavaWebServer2.0;c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
set java_home=c:\jdk1.2
set tomcat_home-c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
set classpath=.;c:\ServDevel;.;c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18\common\lib\servlet.jar;.;c:\jsdk2.0\lib\servlet.jar;.;
Still, after having done all this, when I start the server using startup.bat (which happens without any problems) and type in http://localhost:8080/ on the browser to test the server, nothing happens. It doesn't show me the Tomcat Welcome screen. I get an error page saying "This page is not available". Why? Where am I going wrong?
Sushant

1) Try http://127.0.0.1:8080
2) set tomcat_home-c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
Is the minus-sign after tomcat_home also in the autoexec.bat?
Replace it with an equals-sign
3) When you run startup.bat, is a new command window opened and are the following three lines displayed at the end? It should stay open, otherwise something is wrong (unless running as a service).
INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on port 8080
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
