Re: Multiple virtual host with individual webapp dirs , one tomcat
Actually, if you put your hosts in webapps, Tomcat will automatically create contexts for them, However, these will be in the form http://server.domain..com/appname/. This is essentially the same as your .war suggesting. Creating virtual hosts out of them is a different kettle of fish. However, it seems that a simple shell script would do the trick - just find each directory and generate a virtual host entry for it.

If you want to *change* the code in a context, you can do this just by adding the new class files under the WEB-INF directory. If you want to add a *new* context that didn't already exist, you have to edit the server.xml file. One other option is to have the developers jar up the whole application and deploy it to TOMCAT_HOME/webapps as a .war file. Then, no changes are needed to server.xml; tomcat just reads and expands the .war file and runs with it. Never did this, not sure how well it works. Will
Re: tomcat and apache on different machines
I'd imagine - haven't tried it myself - that you should set it up as if the two were running on the same machine but use the UNC paths everywhere you need to connect Apache to Tomcat. That includes not only the hosts but also the workers and references to the Tomcat server in general. Nick Stoianov wrote: Hey guys, I have the following question. I set up a tomcat server.

Server.xml and mod_jk.conf-auto
Can I ask something really, really basic here? When I add a virtual host to Server.xml, should it show up in the conf-auto file? Of course, I wouldn't be asking if it was, but I am getting a new conf-auto generated each time I stop and restart Tomcat. The only contexts I see however are the ones automatically generated in the webapps folder. The one's I specify are nowhere to be seen. I've added ajp13 to Server.xml as well (basically just took the ajp12 connector, copied it and made it refer to ajp13 port 8009), but I don't see that in the .conf-auto file. All the references in .conf-auto are to ajp12. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Re: Tomcat + Apache on NT
1) Tomcat won't start as a service if the configuration is invalid. However, you don't need to worry too much about the start order if the configuration doesn't change between restarts. 2) You don't need to include it if you have a custom config that includes the relevant information. Some people prefer to do this. 3) Use the Services control in NT. Set startup type to automatic.

Re: Tomcat works as NT service when logging off in JDK1.3.1
The problem I've found however is that when you stop the Tomcat service, it takes longer to shut down than Windows expects.

Re: Making Tomcat 3.2 A Service On Win 2000 ( using jdk 1.3.0_02 )
Are you sure there are no problems with jdk1.3.1? The main problem I found with 1.3.0 was that it shut down when you logged off. I found the same problem in 1.3.1. The fix is to add -Xsa to the execution line that starts Java in Tomcat. As for making Tomcat a service, I found the jk_nt_service.exe (zipped up) in the jakarta downloads. I thought that was the standard way of making it into a service. Is this what is causing the shutdown problem? ShouldI be using a different method? Randy Layman wrote: 1. No quotes and no spaces in filenames allowed. Use one backslash (\) in your paths. The examples that come in the conf directory are correctly formatted, but probably for the wrong directories. 2.

Also, all versions of the 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.1.8, and 1.1.7 line that I have worked with have been fine, although rumor has it that some versions of 1.2.0 had the same problem.

Re: jk_nt_service is not shutting down
I'm getting the same error (2186). It started when I added the -Xsa parameters to the Java startup, which seems to be necessary to keep the service from shutting down on logout. The problem seems to be that the service takes, as you noted, about 20 seconds too long to shut down. I'm ignoring it for now but would also like a solution.

When I connect Apache to Tomcat, using http://servername/ doesn't recognize that the / context should go to ROOT.

You can make it more straight foreword and redirect every thing under context_path to Tomcat by: ApJServMount /context_path /context_path But then also static files ( like HTMLs and GIFs ) will be directed as well to Tomcat ( which usually you don't want ) You are right, and I don't have the answer for this, that in order to redirect only servlets from Apache to Tomcat we need to write specifically the servlets url-pattern in a special ApJServMount command, which actually duplicates the information in the web.xml file.

I am running tomcat 3.2.2 and apache 1.3.11 on win98. I have a web application packaged up as a war file and deployed to the webapps directory. The web.xml file contains (among other things) servlet servlet-nametheServlet/servlet-name servlet-classcom.myco.test.TheServlet/servlet-class /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-nametheServlet/servlet-name url-pattern/myServlet/url-pattern /servlet-mapping Now, I've confirmed that the mapping is correct by accessing it using the URL http://myserver:8080/context_path/myServlet- This is fine, no problems As I understand it, this is connecting to the tomcat web server (on port 8080), which is aware of the servlet mapping because it has read the web.xml file for application. And this is how I would expect it to work. Cool. However, I don't want Tomcat to be my web server. I want apache to be my webserver. So I try to access the application using the URL http://myserver/context_path/myServlet- This fails! everything about the web-app works with apache except the servlet mapping, so I assume Apache is unaware of it. The closest thing to a solution I have found is that I need to add a line to 'tomcat-apache.conf' that looks something like - ApJServMount/context_path/myServlet /context_path/servlet/theServlet which seems like a really annoying thing to have to do. The whole point of web-apps is that you define everything you need to in web.xml, so that you don't have to change configuration files on the deployment system. If this is necessary, then what is the point of the servlet-mapping? Surely tomcat should generate the necessary ApJServMount lines in tomcat-apache.conf when it starts up and reads web.xml? So, the big question is - * Is it possible to get apache to recognise servlet mappings defined in a web-app's web.xml without explicitly making a modification to an apache config file? If so, how? * If not can someone give a concrete example of a servlet mapping, and the corresponding ApJServMount line that will get apache to recognise that mapping? I hope this all makes sense - appreciation in advance, Colin

Re: Should we do moderation on this mailinglist??
Your points are well taken. However, in defence of newsgroups, this is a high-volume list that I think would be better handled as a newsgroup. 1) I think a lot of people aren't able to stay in the list continually due to the volume. There's a lot of subscribe, unsubscribe going on for people who need occaisional help. 2) the process of subscribing to a listserve can be a little off-putting and then there's the delay in getting getting on. 3) How many firewalls block all news groups? I wouldn't want to exclude anyone, but surely anyone in a position to be running a java server has access to newsgroups somehow. 4) Threaded discussions are better handled in newsgroups than listserves. 5) You can see the (recent) history before asking the same question that someone else asked a couple of days ago. 6) Yes, you can keep the mailing list going but hopefully a news group would open things up to whole new range of people while reducing the mail volume to something manageable.

Regarding moderating the mailing list, I don't think that is feasible. For one thing, as some have suggested, it would take a lot of work, so it would be hard to find people to do it. Plus philosophically, I'm not sure we really want to go that route. And of course, there is a list owner (that exists as an entity, if not a person or persons, even if they don't show themselves around here much :-), and they'd get final say it what happens with this list. That may be the biggest point, because there has been no input from any owner on this list for a while on any of these issues (although they are on record as saying a newsgroup is a bad idea, mostly because many people don't have access to newsgroups because of firewalls, proxies, and such). Also, no disrespect intended, but I'm not sure it's such a good idea to try to come up with sweeping ideas to improve a mailing list after having only been subscribed a few weeks. That's not very long to get to know the ins and outs of a mailing list, how things ebb and flow, what's been suggested/tried or not, etc. Anyway, of the recent ideas suggested, I think the one that has the best combination of merit/feasibility is dividing up the list into sub-lists. This would have to be done carefully, of course, to actually improve the situation. I'd be willing to give this a go (although it might be the kind of thing where it would be good to have more than one person involved).

I'm in the same boat myself. It looks like Apache isn't fielding your servelet requests.

Re: Should we do moderation on this mailinglist??
Maybe I should, but Milt Epstein is correct in that it would be presumptious of someone who is not a regular on this listserve to try to make major changes to it. I'll follow your advice about reading up on the process anyway. I've gotten into the habit of checking newsgroups for answers first anyway, and I'd hate to change this late in life. Of course, I had a difficult time finding comp.infosystems.www... as a source of information on Apache, but since that seems to be the prefered location instead of just comp.www, for example, I suppose it's best to leave it at that.

Re: How to connect Apache and Tomcat?
Have you considered using mod_jk instead? It's supposedly more uptodate and has some nice features if you're doing virtual hosting. Read the mod_jk-howto file in the tomcat docs.

how do I test the Apache-Tomcat mod_jk connection?
Sorry for this newbie type question but I'm not a Java programmer. I am required however to give advice on this subject. I believe I have the connection set up properly but from what I've been reading about running jsp applications, it appears that you need to build them for a particular location. For example, I can run the examples OK by simply going to http://servername:8080/examples/ if Apache isn't running, or to http://servername/examples/ if it is. I also can get at various applications that were set to run in subdirectories of webapps as http://servername/appx/. And I can view html pages through dns entries I have set up as http://appx.domain.dom/. The Java pages however give me a long string of type 500 error messages. The point is, it looks like I have the Apache-Tomcat connector working and I may even have the virtual hosting (through ajp13 mod_jk) set up properly. Is there something simple I can do to verify this? Is there a .jsp page that will run anywhere, for example, or is there a simple change I can make to the examples to get them to run in a virtual host?
Re: Should we do moderation on this mailinglist??
I'd prefer to see a news group rather than this mailing list. Something like comp.infosystems.www.servers.apache.jakarta or just comp.infosystems.www.servers.jakarta would be appropriate. For that matter, there should be comp.infosystems.www.servers.apache group too. The ms-windows and unix subgroups of www.servers aren't very appropriate since many of the issues relating to Apache are common to multiple OSs. Swart, James (Jim) ** CTR ** wrote: wowsers.

Hi to everybody who is actually trying to get some information on this mailing list, or to help others, The 2 weeks I've been a member here, just trying to get new ideas and help others out with tomcat issues, I would say, were pretty horrible. about 50% of the mail is actually rubbish (which means double mails, requests for unsuscribing and other SPAM.

Re: jdk1.3.0_02 tomcat 3.2.1 jdbc problem
Could be one of two problems. When you run it as a service, it probably is running as system but when you run it as an app, it runs with your user id. Check the privieleges! Or it could be the jdk1.3 problem. It won't run as a service - shuts down when you log off! I'm not sure it is fixed in jdk 1.3.2 but I'm using 1.2.x which doesn't have this problem. rohit kamath wrote: when I run tomcat as a nt service, I have problems connecting to the database.

Re: Should we do moderation on this mailinglist??
IMHO: Unfortunately the online documentation isn't always that good.
e.g., trying to get a good doc on setting up Apache Tomcat using
mod_jk requires digging through a lot of stuff that is out of date or
wrong. Too much of the online docs refer to mod_jserve or haven't been
properly updated for mod_jk.
For example, the Tomcat User Guide makes no mention of mod_jk even
though this seems to be an important step forward in configuring virtual
hosts. The Tomcat-Apache howto mentions mod_jk but manages to be totally
useless because it fails to give the the correct sample code for the
server.xml file (it repeats the httpd.conf code by mistake - this has
been going on for a long time and has never been fixed). It also is
hoelessly interwoven with mod_jserve examples so that it's next to
impossible to figure out anyway.
The mod_jk howto gets things right, I believe, but isn't very clear on
the apparent need to repeat stuff that is also in mod_jk.conf-auto.
Then of course there is the problem of finding online docs in the first
place. As far as I can see, there is no link from the Jakarta page to
online docs. You need to go through the Tomcat subproject to get there.

FYI: I just sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to

JMHO, but back in the good 'ole dayz there was a footer and I haven't
seen any perceivable volume increase on the list since it was removed.
It all boils down to there are a lot of people out there, you know who
you are;), who are just plain lazy and want to be given their answer
and don't want to search for themselves. Whether it be a 3 line msg
footer or an 8*{ {0 -1},
