Nginx + Apache Tomcat Configuration Example

This document provides instructions for configuring Nginx as a reverse proxy to redirect traffic from port 80 to the Apache Tomcat server running on port 8080. It involves: 1. Configuring Tomcat to listen on port 8080 and set the document root path to "/apple". 2. Configuring Nginx to listen on port 80, set the root path to match Tomcat's "/apple" path, and redirect requests to port 8080. 3. Restarting both Tomcat and Nginx services for the changes to take effect.

Nginx + Apache Tomcat configuration example


This tutorial shows you how to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy to redirect the traffics from port
80 to Apache Tomcat on port 8080.
Here is the environment in my Linode server :
1. Debian 7.5
2. Nginx 1.2.1
3. Tomcat 7.0.28
P.S Both Nginx and Tomcat are installed via apt-get install.

1. Tomcat Configuration
Edit server.xml, check the Tomcat listening port, and configure the default path to /apple
/etc/tomcat7/server.xml
<!-- Tomcat listen on 8080 -->
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
redirectPort="8443" />

<!-- Set /apple as default path -->


<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

<Context path="" docBase="apple">


<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>

</Host>

Restart Tomcat, make sure when you access 127.0.0.1:8080, it will display the content in
127.0.0.1:8080/apple

2. Nginx Configuration
In Nginx, edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default, put following content :
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
root /etc/tomcat7/webapps/apple;

proxy_cache one;

location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
}
}

It tells Nginx to redirect the traffics from port 80 to Apache Tomcat on port 8080. Done, restart
Nginx.
