Hi guys
I wrote a little howto for my installation. Some things I was not able to
cover (mod_proxy) or I just didn't do it so far (importing initial
database).
You can find the mini-howto http://88.198.238.101:8180/xwiki/bin/view/Main/
here . This site is not here to stay, so after cleanup the howto with your
feedback (feel free to edit it directly) I would like to give this howto to
the XWiki-guys and they can maybe find a place on their homepage were it
fits...although I have to admit, that it's not much different from the
already existing instructions, but in my opinion it could help total newbies
like me ;-)
Feedback is warmly welcome.
Note: The howto was written by a non-tech-guy so there are may mistakes. If
somebody from Europe could tell me whether the server is super-fast or
super-lame that would be great.

Guys,
I have a little problem. I've got finally the whole "ProxyPass" running,
well, almost.
Here is my Apache part:
***************************************
NameVirtualHost 88.198.238.101:80
<VirtualHost 88.198.238.101:80>
ServerName wahlfreiheit.ch
ProxyPass / http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/
ProxyPassReverse / http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/
</VirtualHost>
***************************************
The thing is, if you go to http://wahlfreiheit.ch http://wahlfreiheit.ch
you will see that something is wrong. It passes the thing to Tomcat but,
well, you see the site is mixed up.
If you go to http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki
http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki you will get the content but again, just
not the right way.
Now the weirdest thing: If I enter
http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
http://wahlfreiheit.ch:8082/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome (note the port), it
works just fine...
Funny thing is, if I change my Apache settings and let the "/xwiki/" part
from the ProxyPass away, it connects just smoothly to the welcome page of
Tomcat.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong??

When I'm doing that, the page works fine with
http://wahlfreiheit.ch/xwiki/but not with
http://wahlfreiheit.ch/. I do want to show the xwiki on root ("/").
I don't understand that behavior...

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
2. A redirect does somehow not work
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...?
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.. :-(

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.. :-(

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SERGIU!!!!
