To options:
1. Use:
ProxyPass / http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/
ProxyPassReverse / http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/
and move XWiki from tomcat/webapps/xwiki to tomcat/webapps/ROOT
This means that you won't have the Tomcat manager app, but you will also
remove /xwiki/ from the path.
2. Add a redirect from http://wahlfreiheit.ch/ to
http://wahlfreiheit.ch/xwiki/

Thanks for trying to help me, but those to proposals are not solving the
problem IMHO.
1. I don't want to move XWIKI from tomcat/webapps/xwiki to tomcat/
because then I couldn't use anything else with Tomcat
It does not mean that you will not be able to put anything else. You can
have:
tomcat/webapps/ROOT/ -> XWiki
tomcat/webapps/myapp/ -> another application
tomcat/webapps/intra/ -> another XWiki instance used internally
tomcat/webapps/manager/ -> Tomcat manager application
What you lose is the Tomcat Welcome page, which I never found useful.
You will be able to use the manager app, since it is in another directory.
2. A redirect does somehow not work
What did you try? There is a mod_redirect component, AFAIK.
Even if I put the working link
(http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome/) into the
"ProxyPass" argument it does not work. The ProxyPass is actually working
but somehow not. Do I may have to configure something in Tomcat, too?
But then again, why is
http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome/ working when
addressed directly but not with ProxyPass...?
Because the way it works is like this:
- A = the url pattern on the left, like http://wahlfreiheit.ch
- B = the url pattern on the right, like http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki
- see some URL, U
- if U starts with A, then compose U' as B + (U - A), so for
http://wahlfreiheit.ch/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome/ this becomes
http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome/
If you map /xwiki to http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/ then it works
fine once the URL path starts with /xwiki/, but then
http://wahlfreiheit.ch is not passed to tomcat. This is why I said that
you must put a redirect in there.
All I want is if I enter http://wahlreiheit.ch in my
browser it should
go to http://wahlreiheit:8082/xwiki/ and show the xwiki installation...I
don't get it.. :-(
