Running Vivo behind Apache server

[Ruan Kruger]

Good day Vivo Tech




I have edited the server.xml file as per https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VTDA/Running+VIVO+behind+an+Apache+server 




the concern is that on my ubuntu installation im using Apache2 so there is no httpd.conf, the tech forums read the new file is etc/apache2/apache2.conf




When added the: ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/




The Apache2 server fails to start and when reading the sudo systemctl status apache2.service it says that the syntax is incorrect, thus where must I add 

the ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/ when using Apache2. Also tried placing it in 000-default and the 000-defaultssl with the same fail to start. 




This is all vital for ssl is configured on Apache2 and the proxy is needed to the application.




Yours Faithfully

It seems when placed the ProxyPass before the end of the VirtualHost tag it worked to reroute the request, albeit now the following error is given:

Fatal error

The application detected a fatal error during startup.

• FATAL: ApplicationSetup

  • Failed to initialize the Application.

I got around this by adding the vitro/home path as an environmental variable within the Tomcat config context elements like so:

<Environment

type="java.lang.String"

name="vitro/home"

value="/usr/local/vivo/home" override="true”/>
