Virtual directories/Host via mod_JK2

2003-08-30 Thread Sai Sivanesan
We have a bunch of customers using JSP on JDK 1.3.1 / Tomcat 3.1?2? / mod_jk /
Apache 1.3.  The default directory setup for these customers is

DIRECTORY  http://- path- 
-
./site_url/htmlhttp://siteurl
./site_url/jsp http://siteurl/jsp
./site_url/cgi-bin http://siteurl/cgi-bin
./site_url/logs--

we use mod_jk.conf-auto to when we add a new site all we have to do is add the
virtual host in apache and server.xml, reboot tomcat & apache and we are set.

We'd like to move the same setup to JDK 1.4.2_01 / Tomcat 4.1.27 / mod_jk2 /
Apache 2

All the HOW-TO's I've found do far and are hence far more more complex than we
need.

My understanding of how this should work is as follows:

in Apache conf file in server.xml

VirtualHost1.exported_dir -  -> VirtualHost1.contextpath->jsp_dir
VirtualHost2.exported_dir -  -> VirtualHost2.contextpath->jsp_dir
VirtualHost3.exported_dir -  -> VirtualHost3.contextpath->jsp_dir
VirtualHost4.exported_dir -via mod_jk2.so-> VirtualHost4.contextpath->jsp_dir
VirtualHost5.exported_dir -[one entry in -> VirtualHost5.contextpath->jsp_dir
VirtualHost6.exported_dir -via mod_jk2.so-> VirtualHost6.contextpath->jsp_dir
VirtualHostN.exported_dir -  -> VirtualHostN.contextpath->jsp_dir

can someone point me to a resource which might provide some info on piping
requests to certain virtual directories thru mod_jk2.  thanks.

Sai.

PROBLEMS:> memory / cpu usage - Tomcat 3.2.1

2003-08-30 Thread Sai Sivanesan
We have a box[P3/700/512MBram] serving JSPs, with about 20 virtual hosts - and
the server comes to a grinding halt after about 12-18 hours.  The server gets
about 30K hits per week, so it not exactly overloaded...

versions:
RedHat 7.2
Apache 1.3.20
Tomcat 3.2.1
mod_jk.so mod_jk.so-ap1.3.27-eapi-rh72

processes seem to persist longer than they should.  here is a line out of top:
12568 root  18   0 25300  24M  7924 S 3.8  4.9  56:19 java



anyone have similar experiences?

Re: PROBLEMS:> memory / cpu usage - Tomcat 3.2.1 - SOLVED!

2003-09-06 Thread Sai Sivanesan
ok.  i have found my elusive problem.  our client has a site with fairly
moderate usage.  and over the years we have changes the site a fair bit.  it
seems that the problem stems from requesting a jsp file that is no longer on
the server - once the 404 is logged, the apache <-> tomcat connection does not
terminate.  it stays running, and  starts to consume cpu time.  a sufficient
number of these will over time, bring the machine to a crawl - to a point
where it is almost impossible to even login via ssh or even locally.  Time to
read the conf file to see what we can do about 404 error documents.

RE: Memory leaks?

2003-09-06 Thread Sai Sivanesan
may be a little off topic, but - check to see if you are logging any 404
messages on the tomcat side - i have found that memory and cpu idle time seem
to dissappear with every 404 request passed over to tomcat from apache

Re: Multiple Tomcat instances for virtual hosts

2003-09-06 Thread Sai Sivanesan
I really like the idea of setting up multiple instances of Tomcat per virtual
site - i have 2 questions:

1)  How does it affect memory usage, i.e.  if we are on a server with X
ammount of ram and there are 20 sites, does each site end up needing a minimum
of ~21 MB RAM for tomcat so we have a basic need of 420MB ram being used just
to keep tomcat up / site?

2)  If one site gets busier then will it slow down the other sites more so
than using mod_jk / mod_webapp?

Re: help with domain and ip

2003-09-08 Thread Sai Sivanesan
let me see if i understand your question?  you wan to type http://123.45.67.89
in a webbrowser and see your apache server dishing out content?

well, if that was the quesion you should set the port on yout apache config
file to serve using port 80  not 8080.

basically when you type http:// it tells your browers to go to 123.45.67.89:80
as that is the default port for "web" services.  there is no such thing as
serving on 123.45.67.89.  any tcp/ip comm happens on a port on an ip address.
or i am confused as well?
