Hi guys
I was wondering whether it was possible to encapsulate Geoserver behind Apache on port 80.
I'm running geoserver on port 8080 and it's working fine, but I've noticed that some of my clients have problems accessing port 8080, now this is usually easy to fix on their end, but I was wondering whether I could save myself the bother and simply make apache act as a proxy for geoserver, basically to take a request to port 80 for something like HYPERLINK "http://my.apacheserver.com/geoserver/wms and query HYPERLINK "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms with the same parameters and then return whatever geoserver would return.
I realize that I can deploy geoserver in tomcat container, but that would still eintail me running it on a port other than 80, since I already have Apache running tilecache under mod_python on 80.
I realize I could write a script that does this, but I'm just wondering whether anybody has any experience in doing this. Like, is there noticable delay in routing everything through Apache? Am I perhaps going about this completely asswards?
Kind regards from Iceland,
Gissur

There's actually a page on the wiki about setting up Apache to proxy requests
so that geoserver appears to be running on port 80 even though Apache is
already using that port. You can configure the proxy url in the geoserver
configuration to have geoserver generate links that also use port 80, if you
want; otherwise it will still generate links using port 8080.
The wiki page is here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/How+to+proxy+Jetty+through+Apache+on+port+80
Hope this helps,
David Winslow

Hello.
You can use mod_jk (Tomcat Connector) to route requests to a tomcat server running on the same or a different machine.
Create a file in /etc/apache/conf.d with a name like “mod-jk”:
JkWorkersFile /etc/libapache2-mod-jk/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel info
JkMount /geoserver/* ajp13_worker
Configure your /etc/libapache2-mod-jk/workers.properties and you’re set.

Hello,
I have a geoserver/tomcat running on 8080 (and on Linux) but answering
external http requests on 80. For that I use a "Kernel space port
forwarding" technique described on
http://www.klawitter.de/tomcat80.html
Works fine and was no trouble to set.
Cheers,
Ugo
