Servoy Forum

Hi

I've set up servoy server behind an apache server thats serving a website http://www.mysite.com (using a reverse proxy)

All works fine:
http://www.mysite.com/servoy-admin shows the servoy admin page etc..
However, http://www.mysite.com now resolves to the index.html page from Servoy. (showing the smart client starting page)

How do I make sure http://www.mysite.com keeps displaying the website?

Added settings to Apache Virtual host

Code: Select all

ProxyPass /tunnel ajp://myservoyserver:8009/tunnel flushpackets=on
ProxyPass / http://myservoyserver:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://myservoyserver:8080/

Added http connector to application_server/server/conf/server.xml

Code: Select all

<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" connectionTimeout="60000" maxThreads="400" />

Added settings servoy-admin>Network Settings

Code: Select all

servoy.jnlpCodebaseOverride:    www.mysite.com

Thanks for any pointers.

so you want everything from servoy working through www.mysite.com
but not the root?

you use this for smartclients?
Because if you do use it for smart client / should be mapped on the server server (for getting messages and so on)
That will make it tricky then i think, because what you want is that parts of / is servoy and some parts are not?
i guess you could move the complete site into webapps/ROOT folder of servoy?

Hi Johan,

Thanks for replying.
I talked to Nicola Gervasi last night who gave me some good pointers.

1) no need to proxy the servoy root dir, also for safety. So servoy admin remains on whatever:8080/servoy-admin

2) I cleared "servoy.jnlpCodebaseOverride: http://www.mysite.com" in servor-admin>network settings, since this is only for smartclients. (i'm only aiming for webclient)

3) In the http://www.mysite.com Virtual Host file I've only defined proxy paths that are necessary and added:

 

Code: Select all

<Location "/servoy-webclient">
     # Enable compressions
     AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript     //helps compressing content
     ProxyPass ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/servoy-webclient flushpackets=on
     ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/servoy-webclient
</Location>

Also add this path, otherwise images will be broken in the webclient

Code: Select all

   # Reverse proxy to let webclient access the images folder
   <Location "/images">
     ProxyPass ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/images
     ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/images
   </Location>

iFrames on http://www.mysite.com working ok now when deeplinking to

Hope this will help others improve their Apache Kung Fu skills
