hi all
i have succesfully installed and configured the fasthpat app for openfire on my server.
the server is w.a.m.p. server (apache server running on windows) and only the port 80 - 8080 is open.
is there a way to reach the FastPath help page through these ports?
best wishes.
Yes, in the virtual host of httpd.conf, add ProxyPass (provided by mod_proxy.so) as below.

<VirtualHost *:80>
…
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / https://127.0.0.1:9091/
ProxyPassReverse / https://127.0.0.1:9091/
Hi,
does port 9091 really work with mod_proxy?
This enables also access to the admin console, so may want to add “ProxyPass ^/login.jsp !” or “ProxyPassMatch ^/login.jsp.* !”

LG: interesting but if there were security vulnerabilities in Jetty, in the login.jsp page, or by crafting a SESSION cookie.dat file then this may pose issues.
Yes, it works. Here I forwarded all traffic on port 9091 (e.g. HTTPS), but one could protect that with mod_auth. For Fastpath, only ProxyPass (forward) port 9090 (non-https) to dir /webchat/. Another way to prevent traffic to the admin console, simply use rewrite rules.
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /webchat/ http://127.0.0.1:9090/webchat/
ProxyPassReverse /webchat/ http://127.0.0.1:9090/webchat/
<Directory “/var/httpd/www”>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [http://www.website.com/$1](http://www.website.com/%241) [R=permanent,L]
Note this works with Apache 2.x. Apache 1.3.x does not have the ProxyPreserveHost keyword.
