Apache control panel under the Elastic server manager
How do one use the Apache control panel under the Elastic server manager?
When setting a port configuration for the control panel under the Apache configuration settings nothing happens, even though the port (I used 8090) is open on the firewall.
How does this work or am I suppose to install something else?
I need an easy way to configure http UTL requests on port 80 to selectively redirect traffic to say Tomcat or Glassfish running of port 8080 or 8181

Inappropriate?Hello,
There's a couple of steps that you need to take here.
First you'll need to configure things for Apache. The default ESM configuration doesn't actually link to the Apache configuration files (we did this for security reasons, but it does mean an extra step). To enable it you select "configuration" under the Apache menu item and click "Edit". In the "Configuration Files" section type "/etc/apache2/*.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*" (you enter a list of configuration files separated by spaces, wildcards are allowed). Click "Save".
Now you should be able to edit the Apache configuration files in ESM. Once you've finished restart Apache (from the System Overview menu).
Since you've already opened the port on the firewall you should now be good to go. There is one caveat here: If you're using EC2 then you need to make sure you've also opened the port on your security group for the running instance. (We've not linked up ESM to EC2's security groups because that would require either storing your EC2 creds on the instance image or having you enter them in each time.)
Hopefully that helps.

Hi Nicholas
Thanks a lot. This solves the problem with editing the config files.
One more question: What is the "Has Control Panel" function for, since nothing happens if I allocate a port to that. -
Inappropriate?The idea of the "Has Control Panel" function is for those apps that have some sort of control/administration tool -- Tomcat, ActiveMQ, WebLogic, etc. for example. What you can do there is set a relative URL (and port, if necessary), then ESM will have a link that allows you to easily open it up in a new tab/window.
If you want to see this in action then check the checkbox and add what you want (control panel port, control panel URL, etc.). Then save and select the System Overview menu item and then choose the service you've updated. (Note: You may have to click the Refresh link also.) Now you should have a new link above the Start option: Administration Console. If the URL you created is a valid one then it'll open up in a new tab or window.
