I have a server running Rails and Tomcat applications with Apache. I currently have a rails app setup to port 80 and a tomcat application on port 8080. I'm attempting to have Apache forward all requests on /uploader to tomcat. The tomcat application works OK when visiting it's own url, but when using the redirect it takes ~60 seconds per request. Here is my httpd file. Any help is really appreciated! Thanks!

tcpdumpto see which side is sitting on the request for 60 seconds.localhostto127.0.0.1make any difference?ProxyRequests Offas that is for enabling forwarding proxying rather than (what you need) reverse proxy withProxyPass
