[Sorry for the repost but I still don't have an answer to this one] On Fri, 2005-09-09 at 15:50, Steve Dodge wrote: 1. VirtualHostis an apache http server directive. Right, but it was put there by Tomcat's auto-config. What I was trying to find out was, by localhost did Tomcat mean my (Tomcat's) localhost -- the server on 8080 -- or Apache's localhost, which is the server on port 80, which responds to many Virtual Hosts already in the httpd.conf file. 2. With JkMount you're not actually mapping a physical directory, it's a url pattern. Yes, but all the ones that Tomcat auto-config'd into mod_jk.conf are relative to the Tomcat webapps directory. How do I write a url pattern that can be interpreted as relative to Apache's document root, so that JSP files in there will be passed to Tomcat for serving? If you have a tomcat webapp that serves jsp's such as http://localhost:8080/mywebapp, then you can map jsp requests to that webapp using JkMount /mywebapp/*.jsp Ah...this exposes the gap in my understanding. Where do I get a tomcat webapp that serves jsp's? This is what I need. I thought one was built into Tomcat -- in fact I thought JSP serving was the original purpose of Tomcat. If Tomcat doesn't have any such webapp, where do I get one? I certainly can't write one, as I'm not a Java programmer. ///Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If Tomcat doesn't have any such webapp, where do I get one? I certainly can't write one, as I'm not a Java programmer. I am limited in my knowledge of tomcat but from my understanding, tomcat can be ran either as a standalone server or behind a webserver. In your case, it seems like you don't actually need a webserver in front so you should be able to connect to tomcat using the url: http://localhost:8080/ Just make sure in your server.xml that you have this line: Connector port=8080 / or whatever port you want to connect to. In fact, I don't think you even need mod_jk if you are using tomcat as a standalone. Hope that helps. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In my httpd.conf, I add the following lines in my virtual host: ProxyPass /app http://localhost:8081/ ProxyPassReverse /app http://localhost:8081/ Just make sure you have loaded the following modules: LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so What the above does is when Apache sees an url like: http://www.myhost.com/app It passes all traffic to tomcat which is listening to port 8081 (on the same machine). The beauty of this is that you can put this in your ssl.conf too and Apache will handle all encrypted traffic and passes it on to tomcat. The only advantage I see from mod_jk is if you are using it for load balancing too. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
