How to setup a reverse proxy

Post #1 of 4 (1634 views)

Hello all,

I discover Cherokee and after few hours spent with it, I am still unable to set a reverse proxy.

Here is my architexcture : I want to use Cherokee on the port 80, and when submitting this url http://localhost/myWebApp in my browser I want to see in fact http://localhost:8080/myWebApp (a Tomcat 7).

I succeeded to do it with nginx in few minutes, but I did not with Cherokee.
I tried a lot of things, like a clean new virtual server/source, to based my conf on the Glassfish one etc...

I always see either 404 or the list of files of the directory /var/www/myWebApp if I create it.

Can you please explain me step by step what to do?
I already posted on other forums but nobody answer.

Thanks a lot !
Regards.

Hello,

Just create new source (with your backend app)

then create vserver set the default rule handler to rev proxy, scroll
down, select RoundRobin, and then at the bottom your previously added
soruce.

"The end"

Hello,

Thank you for the quick answers.
This is exactly what I did, but it does not work.

This is why I am confused... I will make a screenshot tomorrow of my conf, perhaps there is something I missed.

One more question, how do you choose the port listen by the virtual server?

Regards.
