RE: HTTP 1.1 Connector - Bye bye?

2004-05-19 Thread Adam Fowler
Hi,

IMHO Quite a few people seem to still use it. I'd be inclined to remove it
from future distributions but keep it up on the web somewhere, along with
its documentation, and put a note on the connectors documentation saying
"its deprecated but if you insist on using it follow this link".

If it magically dissappears you're only gonna end up with a few hundred
posts on the users list in the following months asking where its
dissappeared too.

Putting the code itself into some form of CVS attic seems sensible to me
tho.

Just my 5 pennies worth...

Adam.

RE: compiling mod_jk 2.0.4 on macos X (10.2)

2004-04-02 Thread Adam Fowler
Hi Marco,

It sounds like the configure script is telling Make (*simplification*) to
only build static files (.la), which is bizarre. Try running configure with
the following option to force it to build the shared (.so) libraries:

./configure --enable-shared=yes ... *plus other options as usual*

Then do:

make clean
make

as usual.

Hope that helps,

Adam.

Subject: compiling mod_jk 2.0.4 on macos X (10.2)



i'm trying to compile mod_jk (just the apache side, not the tomcat 
side).

I downloaded jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src. apr-0.9.4 and 
apr-util-0.9.4 and was able to successfully run configure (i'm building 
against apache 1.3).

however trying to do make results in an error about 
build/jk2/apache13/mod_jk2.so not existing (it doesn't). i have all the 
.o files and i have mod_jk2.a and mod_jk2.la, why isn't the .so file 
being built?

Attempts to build against apache2 result in configure errors about 
libapr not being found.

Connectors makefile typo...

2004-03-22 Thread Adam Fowler
Hello guys,

I have found a bug in the Makefile. Not sure whether to put this in the bug
DB as its a problem with the make file and not the connectors. Apologies if
I shouldn't have posted here. Here's the problem below, anyway.

I downloaded the connectors tar.gz
(jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-src-current.tar.gz version 2.0.2) and went
into jk/native2 to build the thing.

I used the instructions Kurt/Henri posted to dev (couldn't get the one in
README.txt working). I basically did the following:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs 
make

This failed miserably due to a problem in the server/apache2/Makefile make
file. This is the error output form the original try:

...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lapr-0
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../../../build/jk2/apache2/jkjni.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/root/work/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.2-src/jk/native2/server/apache
2'
make: *** [jk2-build] Error 1

The problem is on line 37 as follows:

JK_LDFLAGS=-L${APACHE2_LIBDIR} -lcrypt -lapr-0

Obviously the -lapr-0 should read -lapr -0. I fixed this and re-ran make and
all was lovely.

Thought you'd want to know. If you need anymore info, please feel free to
e-mail.

Adam.

Hi Henri,

I hope you don't mind, but I rewrote the build instructions
for Unix-like systems. If its OK with you I'd like to commit 
this (or something like it). Of course comments, additions or
criticisms welcome too. ;-)

-Kurt

Information on building mod_jk2:

  Starting with 2.0.4, APR is mandatory for jk2. For Apache 2.0
  or greater jk2 will use APR that was used to build Apache 2.0.
  For Apache 1.3, jk2 must build APR and APR_UTIL from source. 

DSO build instructions for Unix-like systems:

  The compiler used to build jk2 must match the one used to build
  Apache. You may need to set an environment variable before 
  configuring such as CC=cc. `apxs -q CC` will tell you what 
  compiler was used for Apache.

  The most straightforward way to configure jk2 is to use apxs 
  that comes with Apache. Linux distributions may need to have 
  additional rpm's installed such as Apache2 devel rpm, 
  httpd-devel or apache2-devel or for Apache 13, Apache devel 
  rpm, httpd-devel or apache-devel depending on your 
  distribution.

  Example Apache2 build and install:

cd jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jk/native2
./configure --with-apxs2=/your/path/to/apxs
make
cd ../build/jk2/apache2
apxs -n jk2 -i mod_jk2.so

  Example Apache13 build and install:

apr and apr-util will be configured and built for you while
configuring and building jk2. There is no need to separately
configure and build them. 

  cd jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jk/native2
  ./configure --with-apxs=/your/path/to/apxs \
  --with-apr=/your/path/to/apr-source \
  --with-apr-util=/your/path/to/apr-util-source
  make
  cd ../build/jk2/apache13
  apxs -n jk2 -i mod_jk2.so

NOTE: pthread support may be automatically detected and built
into apr. If apache13 was not built with pthread support, you
can either disable it by adding --disable-apr-threads while
configuring, or load the pthread library in httpd.conf using
the LoadFile directive.

  Optional configure arguments (for 1.3 and 2.0):

If you want to have JNI support, add --with-jni and be sure
to have the JAVA_HOME environment variable point to your Java
Environment. This will build inprocess jni support into
mod_jk2.so and additionally build libjkjni.so. libjkjni.so
can be used by tomcat to provide support for channel unix and
should be installed in the apache libexec dir. Use 
`apxs -q LIBEXECDIR` if you are unsure of its location. 
Libjkjni.so will be located in the same directory as 
mod_jk2.so after building with this option.

If you want to have PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular
Expressions) support for jk2 uri directives, add --with-pcre
while configuring.

Hi guys,

I just "upgraded" to Mozilla 0.9 and tried having a look at the "Server 
Configuration" part of the tc4 doc site. (I hope to have my tc4 appendix 
shelled out by the end of the day.)

I noticed that the background on the left is set to black...Problem is, 
the styles your using don't seem to be valid as the text comes out black 
too. (Spotted the problem yet!?! 8o) ) Also, a black background is a bit 
gash! (call me old fashioned)

Mozilla works fine with my XHTML site which uses CSS 1 and 2 so I think 
it may be your site. I can get by without it, but as you can tell its 
not exactly ideal!

Hey all,

I've updated my initialisation script. Installation details are in the file.

I also forgot to mention in my last post with regards to the nice INSTALL.txt

So to allow easy upgrades. This is also detailed in the tomcat script

  Apache Tomcat Version 4.0 Beta 6
  
Install Guide
=

<<< cvs keyword thing >>>


INTRODUCTION:


Welcome!

This document explains how to perform a stand-alone installation of the
Tomcat 4.0 servlet container.  Once you're up and running, you will have
access to the more detailed documentation locally via Tomcat's default
home page, as well as administration and sample applications.

As well, the documentation is available locally at:

$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/docs/index.html

where $CATALINA_HOME is the root of the directory you extracted the Tomcat
files to.  The absolute latest version of the documentation is always
available online at the following URL:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/index.html

Because the documentation released with each version of Tomcat is the latest
as of that release, there is a good chance the online documentation will be
slightly updated.

NOTE: It is STRONGLY reccomended that you complete this minimal, stand-alone
installation before continuing on to more advanced topics.

===
DOWNLOADING:
===

In the rare occurence that you find yourself reading this file without
a copy of Tomcat 4 to install, you can obtain the latest version here

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.html

==
INSTALLING:
==

Fortunately, installing the Tomcat servlet container consists of a few,
easy steps: extract the archive, and set environment variables.

Of course, since Tomcat is written in Java, it is assumed that you have
install at least version 1.2 of the JDK.  You can download the JDK from
Sun at the following URL

http://java.sun.com/j2se/

1) Unpack the files

You've most likely completed this step already =)

Lets say that for installation (A), you're on a Windows machine and
you've unpacked the files to "C:\tomcat"

Or for installation (B) on a *nix machine, you've unpacked it to
"/usr/local/tomcat"

 
cd /var
(I thought TC should go in /var for most platforms???)
mv  /var/

tar xzvf jakarta-tomcat-4.0-br.tar.gz
OR
unzip jakarta-tomcat-4.0-br.tar.Z
tar xvf jakarta-tomcat-4.0-br.tar


2) Set your environment variables

Tomcat 4 requires 2 environment variables: CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME.
CATALINA_HOME should be set to the root of your Tomcat installation, and
JAVA_HOME should be set to the root of your JDK installation.

For the Win9X-series of operating systems, add the following lines to
your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1

In WinNT-based systems, you modify environment variables by first right-
clicking on the "My Computer" icon, and going to "Properties".  In NT
you get to the properties by doing THIS, and in 2000, by doing THIS.

For *nix, is there any different for the different shells?  I'm no *nix
expert by any means =)


export CATALINA_HOME=/var/jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b5
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3

NB This should either be done in a systemV startup script or /etc/profile to
make it system wide. (Preferably startup script so its available on tomcat
start on boot if required)


3) Start it

To start the container, execute the scr

Re: [DOC] TOC - thoughts

2001-07-15 Thread Adam Fowler

Hi

Everyone on the TomcatBook project (Hitchhiker's guide to tomcat 8o) ) are 
using DocBook too.

ATM we are only producing an appendix for tomcat 4 (Well, I am) but I would 
like to see it evolve into a separate Document.

The reason it is only an appendix ATM is that 4.0 hasn't been deployed widely 
like 3.2.x yet. So my job is detailing all of the differences in 
configuration and deployment.

There is a list of authors for TomcatBook at
http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=26042

As I say, I'm the only Tomcat 4 guy ATM.

I'd be glad to work with you on this and share thoughts etc. If you'd like.

Is this documentation going to be used on the jakarta-tomcat site? If so who 
can commit the documents? Also, TomcatBook are using the GNU FDL so if 
apache's license is more restrictive that could be a problem (why 
documentation is covered by apache's software license I don't know!)

I know Alex on the tomcat-dev list is also doing documentation. My advice is 
to also go and join tomcatbook at groups.yahoo.com/group/tcbook as this is a 
good place to ask questions about such things.

Do you know of a good editor for DocBook? I know AbiWord should do it.

I also have the task of converting our projects docs to html for our site 
(http://tomcatbook.sourceforge.net) and am using jboss. I'm having issue with 
converting someon's build.bat file to a nice build.sh file though. Any help 
is much appreciated.

I have a mandrake 8.0 machine here with tc 4 installed and am currently 
working on getting it communicating with apache 1.3.x then once that is 
working i'll switch to 2.0 and get info on that.

Drop me a line with your thoughts either on tomcat-dev or at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Adam.

Yup that's correct.

It does work OK with 8.0 +

Thanks for the fix - I'll put it on my site.

Re: [DOC] Vote on oustanding doc issues?

2001-07-12 Thread Adam Fowler

*being random* The RPM of tc4 worked great on Mandrake 8.0 beta 3.

Incidentally, the tc4 docs suck. I had to read deeply into the config files 
to find out how to get it working with apache. This is fine for a seasoned 
admin, but the general web community wouldn't have a clue (By that I refer to 
the quantity of mails in tomcat-user!) 8o)

We could do with better tc4 docs. 

Just sticking my neb in - I think a separate tree for 3.2+3.3 would be a bit 
unnecessary.

Re: [DOC] TOC - thoughts

Putting little notes about things like the JDK 1.3.1 linux issue are VERY 
useful. I hate it when M$ have docs that don't mention things such as "none 
of your data is encrypted, by the way" 

Not that I'm bitter 8o)

RE: mod_jk for Apache 1.3.17

2001-02-24 Thread Adam Fowler

Hi,

Lots of people have been having trouble with the standard downloadable
binaries not working lately.

You may need to recompile it for your machine. I'm not sure of how to do
this in Win32. Try downloading the source (from the jakarta website) and
going to src/native/apache1.3/ and opening the workspace there in Visual
Studio 6 and compiling it.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Adam.
