302/301 and 404 redirect issue for apache redirection for tomcat



I'm using Apache HTTPD in front of Apache Tomcat with the following virtual host:




$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/onlinetaskboarddotcom 

    ServerAdmin comented@out.com
    ServerName www.onlinetaskboard.com
    ServerAlias onlinetaskboard.com
    DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/www/apache/onlinetaskboarddotcom

    ProxyPass / http://www.onlinetaskboard.com:8080/
    ProxyPassReverse /  http://www.onlinetaskboard.com:8080/


    
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    

    
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny

        allow from all
    

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

    
        AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all

    

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined




The URLs without www subdomain like onlinetaskboard.com/login and onlinetaskboard.com/someOtherValidPage work fine, however once I include the www subdomain like www.onlinetaskboard.com, then I get a 404 error in some browsers like Chrome.



Here are the request/response headers which I observed in Chrome.



With www subdomain:




Request:
        Request URL:http://www.onlinetaskboard.com/
        Request Method:GET

        Status Code:404 Not Found
Request headers:
        Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
        Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch
        Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8
        Connection:keep-alive
        Cookie:JSESSIONID=DE44F60835D23E6AB3CC2A2E8B9D6279
        Host:www.onlinetaskboard.com

Response headers:

        Connection:Keep-Alive
        Content-Encoding:gzip
        Content-Length:377
        Content-Type:text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
        Date:Thu, 14 Nov 2013 23:39:24 GMT
        Keep-Alive:timeout=5, max=99
        Server:Apache-Coyote/1.1
        Vary:Accept-Encoding
        X-Pad:avoid browser bug



And without the www subdomain:




Request:    
        Request URL:http://onlinetaskboard.com/
        Request Method:GET
        Status Code:302 Found
Request Headers:
        Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

        Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch
        Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8
        Cache-Control:max-age=0
        Connection:keep-alive
        Cookie:JSESSIONID=36D1DED5A3F7B5E185FE5D5EDD4457FC
        Host:onlinetaskboard.com
        User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/28.0.1500.71 Chrome/28.0.1500.71 Safari/537.36
Response headers:
        Connection:Keep-Alive
        Content-Length:0

        Date:Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:04:33 GMT
        Keep-Alive:timeout=5, max=100
        Location:http://onlinetaskboard.com/login
        Server:Apache-Coyote/1.1


How is this caused and how can I solve it?


Answer



Is there something validating the URL on the other side? What happens if you just go to ip.address:8080 do you get a 404? I am just wondering if it is something tomcat could be doing.




Also, if you add



"ProxyPreserveHost On"



this will keep the request header so you can pass it to tomcat.



Also, why do you have all of this? cgi-bin and such:




Options FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride None




    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all



ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/


    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all


ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...

linux - How can I get my mediawiki to stop thinking I have cookies disabled?

I've searched half a day for how to resolve this issue, and can't figure it out. Shortly after I made my wiki a simple private wiki according to the instructions at Mediawiki's website, it started giving me this weird login error message: Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again. If I remove those private wiki settings, the error disappears, even if I try logging in. But I need it to be a private wiki for only my team. So what do I do? Here's what I've done so far. Just to be safe, after ever change, I try rebooting Apache using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart In my php.ini file, I have the following set: session.save_path = "/var/lib/php5" session.cookie_secure = secure session.cookie_path = /tmp session.cookie_domain = my server's internal URL (should I even set this? this field was blank before, but not commented out) session.referer_check = Off I ran the following to ensure that the fold...
