Install Apache Proxy

The Apache Proxy is used to provide access for users to edu-sharing and let you control which parts of alfresco you want to be public accessible.

It's strongly recommended that you block any direct access to tomcat server ports and only allow access to the apache ports (80/443)

1. Install apache via apt-get:
   apt-get install apache2
2. Install the ajp and proxy module to enable the proxy-passing to tomcat:
   a2enmod enable proxy
   a2enmod enable proxy_ajp
   a2enmod enable proxy_http

3. Edit your VirtualHost (located at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled)
   
   

   ProxyVia On
   # Pass edu-sharing
    ProxyPass /edu-sharing ajp://localhost:8009/edu-sharing
   # Pass alfresco (optional)
    ProxyPass /alfresco ajp://localhost:8009/alfresco
   # Pass alfresco share (optional)
    ProxyPass /share ajp://localhost:8009/share

4. Restart Apache:
   /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

5. After Apache started, you should be able to access edu-sharing via <your-domain>/edu-sharing
