Btibucket on Apache

Question

Dear support, I'm running a self-hosted Bitbucket server on a machine which runs an http service yet, Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips mod_auth_kerb/5.4 PHP/5.5.38
I'm thinking to move Bitbucket on this one to power off Tomcat, what do you think can I do it? Is it a good idea to save memory on my server? My server is running with 4 sticks of ddr2 of 1GB and without videocard is giving me 3.05G with less than 2GB used.

You need the Tomcat application server to run Jira.  Apache (httpd) is not an application server and cannot run Jira.

Yes, another box apache httpd which runs on the same machine. I thought I can simply power off Tomcat to use Apache httpd, but I'm reading I can only proxy the requests by httpd to Tomcat and can't power off it

Hi Dario, your question doesn't look very clear, from my understanding it seems like you have another box running Apache that you want to use to route traffic to your Bitbucket Server, is this correct? In that case, the information you're looking for should be covered in the article https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver042/integrating-bitbucket-server-with-apache-http-server-794209970.html

If that's not what you meant or you have other questions, please let us know!

Best regards,
Ana
