Package: libapache2-mod-jk
Version: 1:1.2.28-2
Severity: wishlist
webserver_howto/apache.html of libapache-mod-jk-doc describes how to connect
apache2 and tomcat. According to that page in the "Using Tomcat auto-configure"
section it should be as simple as adding the following line to the Engine tag
of the /etc/tomcat6/server.xml :
<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"
modJk="/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so" />
Doing that and restarting tomcat6 results in a failure, since it tries to write
files to locations in which it can't write since they don't exist.
I got it working file the following Listener tag:
<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"
modJk="/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so"
jkConfig="/etc/libapache2-mod-jk/mod_jk-auto.conf"
workersConfig="/etc/libapache2-mod-jk/workers.properties"
jkWorker="ajp13_worker" jkLog="/var/log/tomcat6/" />
The link to the "Tomcat docs website" in that section was quite helpful though.
After I'd figured it out, I read the README.Debian which pointed to the
httpd_example_apache2.conf, but that explains the/a debian way to use
"Custom mod_jk configuration". But in my situation I have both apache2 and
tomcat on the same machine, so I went for the auto-configure variant.
There are a couple of ways to fix this and I'll leave it up to the maintainers
to choose which one(s).
1. Update libapache-mod-jk-doc to mention that auto-configure doesn't work as
described there and the user should use the custom configuration option.
Optionally mention the README.Debian there, since I/most people(?) expect
to find all info in a -doc package.
Note 1: If it applies to tomcat6 as well, please mention that. If not please
specify what to do when using tomcat6.
Note 2: libapache2-mod-jk-doc would make for a more logical package name IMO.
2. Use debconf or sth like that to set the package up (including
workers.properties, see below for my workers.java_home value).
3. Extend the README.Debian, so it includes the configuration for
auto-configure.
4. Provide a manpage for this package which explains how to set it up. For help
that's the first place to check I thought. It wasn't until later that I
found
the README.Debian.
If you have question or need more info, don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Diederik
