Can I use an existing web server installation?

Is it possible to install the Klaros Testmanagement System on top of an existing Apache Server installation?
Do I have to use the Apache Tomcat installation that comes with the installation package?

Hi Christoph,

the tomcat installation is needed in any case as it provides the web application container for the klaros-web.war to run in.

If you want to direct the traffic through your existing apache server you may provide a transparent reverse proxy mapping like shown below.

ProxyPass /klaros-web/ http://dev.verit.de:18080/klaros-web/
ProxyPassReverse /klaros-web/ http://dev.verit.de:18080/klaros-web/
#
# Restrict access to klaros-web
#
<Location "/klaros-web/">
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 10.140
</Location>


Be sure to set the application URL in the general settings in this case. This also described in the manual here.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Torsten
