Apache is running on 443 successfully earlier. Forwarding request to tomcat which is running on port 8080. But now i have to change configuartion so that apache can run as reverse proxy to tomcat.For this i added following line to httpd.conf file ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /xyz/ http://localhost:8080/xyz/ ProxyPassReverse /xyz/ http://localhost:8080/xyz/ <Location /xyz/ > Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> Both apache and tomcat are running on same linux machine. Please save me . I am not good at configuration thing.Trying to do it from last four days. PS: Situation has become worst.When i did- netstat -antuwp | grep httpd it doesn't show port https:443 . It has stopped listening on 443. All mentioned changes are in separate file which is included by original config file.
