[Geoserver-users] Geoserver and Apache - give me port 80 or letme eat cake

Hi David

Thanks a lot, that seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.

docs.codehaus.org hasn't been working for me for the last few days, so I completely forgot to look there.
Good to have it back on it's feet.

Kind regards,
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

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"http://my.apacheserver.com/geoser
ver/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
