Hi Dim & all...
My troubles are gone. ;-) One of the biggest problem was too sophisticated
configuration... ;-) I let myself to be inspirated by Jason Koeninger - in fact,
when I configure something I also would like to know what's the effect -
exactly. Summary: mod_jk.conf-auto included in httpd.conf interfered with my
directives. I wiped it out (include) and then I inserted all directives just
inside my VirtualHost in httpd.conf... and IT STARTED RUN!!! :-)))
I wanna thank to Dim which helped me to "drift" in good configuration of tomcat
itself - and thank to Jason for his hint to not include mod_jk.conf-auto.
Sometimes it can be good. But it is better to do it yourself - really! E.g. I
was always wondering why ajp12 worker is asked when I mounted my ajp13 worker!
So just this include was a reason. :-)))
At last: Something out of this topic. "Re: reference material" - Dmitri wrote
something about look at mod_jk-howt and tomcat-apache-howto... so...
In these HTMLs (on the server - so called "latest documentation" or something
;-)) is mentioned ApJServMount... really often! This confused me always I read
it. Because both documents are in mod_jk section of documentation... In fact -
tomcat-apache-howto starts with mod_jk and config examples are with these
ApJServMounts... Hm? Is it historical reason? (Many times mentioned problem of
documentation to Tomcat?)
Oh - one another question:
For one webapp I have these lines inside VirtualHost in httpd.conf (virgo is
worker ;-)):
JkMount /*.jsp virgo # this is common for all webapps
JkMount /admin/* virgo # this is because of servlets
# Admin application
Alias /admin "/export/home/ias/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/admin"
<Directory "/export/home/ias/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/admin">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
<Location "/admin/WEB-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
<Location "/admin/META-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
This is copied from that mod_jk.conf-auto (only changed ajp12 for virgo, etc.) -
but I tried it without Alias and it runs... is that Alias needed? Isn't it
solved with JkMount?
And really last question :-)))...
When I have servlet short names (url-mappings):
http://host:port/admin/servlet/Class
and
http://host:port/admin/shortname
Where shortname is mapped to Class class ;-)... When in such a servlet is link
to image (eg. obligate "images/tomcat.gif"), one is good (shortname), but other
not (.../admin/servlet/images/tomcat.gif doesn't exist). Which way is obvious to
solve this problem?
- Have I use only shortnames?
- Have I use absolute link? (Works in both.)
- Have I use ../images link for Class? (First case.)
- Or have I configure alias remapping servlet/images to images? (I guess this is
configured in Tomcat, not in httpd.conf - because this URL part is solved by
Tomcat, hm?)
- Or something else? :-)))
So that's all...
Thanks for solved things or any future suggestion...
