Install opencms as ROOT with a very simple configuration of Apache and mod jk
Very simple, but the offline-project doesn't work with this.
Install opencms as ROOT with a very simple configuration of Apache (still works with OpenCms 7.05, Apache 2.2.9 and Tomcat 6). based on this.
In the following exchange ${tomcat_home} for your tomcat-directory.
Rename opencms.war to ROOT.war, copy it to your ${tomcat_home}/webapps and restart tomcat. Install opencms.
After install:
For the Apache (for each of your sites):
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.myWebSite.com DocumentRoot "${tomcat_home}/webapps/ROOT" <Directory "${tomcat_home}/webapps/ROOT"> AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/resources/(.*)$ - [PT] RewriteRule ^/export/(.*)$ - [PT] RewriteRule !^/opencms/(.*)$ /opencms%{REQUEST_URI} [PT] JkMount /* ajp13 JkMount /opencms/* ajp13 JkMount /export/* ajp13 JkMount /resources/* ajp13 </VirtualHost>
server.xml:
<Server port="8105" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> <Service name="myWebSite"> <Connector emptySessionPath="true" enableLookups="false" protocol="AJP/1.3" port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" acceptCount="10" debug="0"/> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common"/> <Connector port="8080" address="127.0.0.1"/> <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="myWebSite"> <Host name="myWebSite" appBase="${tomcat_home}/webapps"/> </Engine> </Service> </Server>
In ${tomcat_home}/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/config/opencms-importexport.xml in remove the opencms-String (webapp-name, servlet-name) so that it looks like this.
<rfs-prefix>/export</rfs-prefix> <vfs-prefix></vfs-prefix>
APPENDIX
Instead of installing as ROOT you may try making the folling changes after installing (as seen here. Edit webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/web.xml Modify the following record to let OpenCms know it's running as a root app. It will remove the first "opencms" from all links and referenced documents in displayed web pages (like stylesheets).
<context-param> <param-name>DefaultWebApplication</param-name> <param-value>opencms</param-value> </context-param>
Note: Do NOT use the "WebApplicationContext" record when running as root, OpenCms workplace would fail miserably. (WebApplicationContext would be used if you specified some other path in conf/Catalina/localhost/opencms.xml, e.g. path="cms")
