| Dear All,
The website I am maintaining is having problems. It is hosted on a
Windows 2003 server with Apache 2.0.50 as web server. Part of the
functionality was developed using Delphi, a newer part is working with
Java Server Pages. The latter is served by Tomcat for which a connector
was used. It is the part developed in Delphi that is causing the
current troubles.
We basically made a few CGI executables and those executables are
invoked by URL's like http://www.myserver.com/scripts.abc.exe?arg1=bla
etc. We used a third party component to take care of the CGI specific
issues. There is no support anymore for this component, so we have to
do away with it now. One of the short-time solutions could be to create
a standalone server application from the existing Delphi code to
generate the required web pages and graphics. This server application
can be made to listen to http requests at a different port, e.g. 85.
My question is: can Apache be configured so that it will forward
requests to files in a certain virtual directory - i.e. scripts - to a
different port, while leaving the working of the web server for request
to files in other directories intact and ditto for the working of the
Tomcat connector? Any help will be appreciated.
TIA & Regards,
Dobedani
