Nginx subdomains ajp module

Server NGINX
#1

Hello,
i tried to use nginx as a reverse proxy for tomcat and jboss application
(that live on other servers) , using subdomains (eg. app1.domain.com,
app2.domain.com etc), but, unfortunatelly, tomcat and jboss application
have
some problems with it (using subdomains there’s no way to make jsp
available) … so I decided to try the ajp_module.
Now, I’ve installed it and seems to work but I’m not able to configure
subdomains for the apps.
Any suggestion?

Thanks

Luciana

can you post your config please?

beside this, is there a reason you stick to AJP-connector? iirc this is
not
a default-module for nginx,
and on my testing i found the HTTP-connector as fast as AJP, but working
kind of smoother
for tomcat-appservers

regards,

mex

Hi,
of course!
I’ve used the standard package (the one I install with apt-get on ubuntu
server) and I made this configuration:

upstream tomcat_server {

    server tomcat.domain.com:8080;

}

server{
listen 80;
server_name app1.domain.com;
location / {

            proxy_pass      http://tomcat_server/app1/;
            sub_filter      /app1/       /;
                       }
         }

to use subdomains, but the application didn’t work properly: once I did
login, the user session wasn’t loaded , so I couldn’t use it (after
login, I
saw alway the login page with some parts of other pages) , so someone
adviced me to use ajp connector.
I’ve installed again nginx without the use of apt-get and now my
configuration is:

worker_processes 1;

#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;

#pid logs/nginx.pid;

events {
worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
upstream tomcat {
server tomcat.domain.com:8009;
keepalive 20;

                    }

    server {
            listen 80;
            server_name app1.domain.com;

    location / {
            ajp_keep_conn on;
            ajp_pass       tomcat/app1/;
                    }
            }

}

but I don’t know how to configure it to have something like
app1.domain.com
and check if it works.
With this config, when I go on app1.domain.com, I see the main page of
tomcat server

I have to add (I don’t find the Edit button :slight_smile: ) that I have to use
subdomains for jboss application too and I have a problem with those
apps …
in that case, with the use of subdomains I cannot see the login pages
ever.

I apologize for my english, I hope what I wrote would be understandable
