This suggests  http://pastebin.com/48W5Da20 that  Building a vanilla kernel 
is the way to go, but that looks to much for now.

Android Star s5: installing debian and java

Following my adventures with the Raspberry Pi, I decided it was time for a new phone. I went for:

Star One S5 5.0 inch (1280*720) HD capacitive 720P screen Android 4.2 OS 3G Smart Phone MTK6589 1.2GHz Quad Core 1G RAM 8G ROM 12MP back camera.

Looking good so far:

• Flashed and rooted with  http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-s5-9/
• Installed debian with Linux deploy
• Java with Linux ARM v6/v7 Soft Float ABI jdk-7u21-linux-arm-sfp.tar.gz

 Here is the result running BaseX via vnc:

Apache virtual hosts and proxypass

...what I wanted was to setup a new VirtualHost entry on Apache to handle the new domain but also make use of the ProxyPass and ProxyReversePass directives to have Apache transparently pass-through traffic from the VirtualHost domain to Tomcat running in the background on some non-conflicting port, like port 80.

thebuzzmedia.com

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin john@doe.com
    ServerName <my domain>.com
    ServerAlias www.<my domain>.com
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/<web-app context root>/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/<web-app context root>/
    ErrorLog logs/<my domain>.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/<my domain>.com-access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

Following these instructions for the  ReadyNas  I was able to
map from a dynamic domain name from http://www.noip.com/ through ReadyNas1 to a BaseX instance on velvet

<VirtualHost *:80>
    SSLEngine  off 
    ServerName test-apb.zapto.org
  ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.8:8984/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.8:8984/
</VirtualHost>
