This comment describes my efforts to implement Apache as a Proxy to Snipsnap Version 1.0b3 Uttoxeter .war

I have done this using

A Cobalt Qube running Linux 2.2 (Yeah, I know but its what I have got!).
Apache V1.3.29
Snipsnap Version 1.0b2 Uttoxeter .war
Tomcat Version 4.1

because this is an appliance, I can't turn Apache off, nor is it wise to upgrade it. So I implemented SnipSnap as .war on port 8080 and am now seeking to hide this from the world using the Apache proxy capability. This is to create a decent single naming convention accross my web space.

I had some problems, but basically, the following lines worked for me

httpd.conf

ProxyRequest off
ProxyPass        /snipsnap   http://davelevy.dyndns.info:8080/snipsnap
ProxyPassReverse /snipsnap   http://davelevy.dyndns.info:8080/snipsnap

So the big difference between what I had to do and the document above is that I has to use /snipsnap throughout and not specify the trailing slash.

The SnipSnap configuration

I set conf using the GUI provided

app.real.port=8080
app.real.path=/snipsnap
app.real.host=davelevy.dyndns.info

It seems to be working quite nicely, but many of the URLs held in snipsnap are now port aware, so I may have some legacy problems. I recommend anyone following me try and fix this before they insert any content.
