For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Simplest ever proxy configuration?

Scenario ... Apache Http Server fronting an Apache Tomcat server. Http Server has mod_rewrite and mod_proxy installed.

When we first did httpd and Tomcat courses, getting the two to talk to each other involved builds of extra modules and all sorts of configuration. I did my "simplest ever" this morning - it came down to these two directives in a .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://192.168.200.102:2080/latmjdemo/$1 [P,L]


Works a treat to forward a whole webapp. Our Deploying Apache httpd and Tomcat course has moved forward considerably over the years- we not have plenty more time for load balancing, cluseting, monitoring, sticky sessions and the like ... runs five of six times a year as a public course, with more delegates being taught on our other private courses than on the public ones.




So as not to overlook the more complex stuff ;-)

That's a load balanced, sticky session working example
