I was able to accomplish what I wanted (remove the port from the url and make it accessible from the root path of the domain. Here's what I did (on Ubuntu linux):
install apache: sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork enable some apache modules: sudo a2enmod proxy_http Create a virtual host file in /etc/apache2/sites-available with the following contents:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName wiki.yourdomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory "/var/www/"> Options -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Allow from all </Directory> RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://wiki.yourdomain.com/xwiki/ ProxyPass /xwiki http://localhost:8080/xwiki ProxyPassReverse /xwiki http://localhost:8080/xwiki </VirtualHost>
