Lighttpd, Tomcat, mod_proxy
Just a quick guide to setting up Lighttpd (http://www.lighttpd.net/) and Tomcat using mod_proxy. there are only two steps involved here:
1. Make sure mod_proxy is enabled in the list of server.modules
server.modules = ("mod_proxy",
...
2. Add a HTTP host block to redirect requests on localhost to port 8080 for Tomcat.
$HTTP["host"] =~ “127.0.0.1|localhost” {
proxy.server = (
“” =>
(”tomcat” => (”host” => “127.0.0.1″, “port” => 8080, “fix-redirects” => 1) )
)}
