Tomcat/Apache/JK(2)?
Ok, I'm not a newbie to Apache 2.x, Tomcat 4.x, JK2 with Java SDK 1.4.x ... I have gotten these to work over the years with few problems either on a Windows or Linux environment. I've modified the httpd.conf file and workers2.properties files under Apache 2.x, and the server.xml and jk2.properties under Tomcat 4.x. However, now I am in unfamiliar territory once more. I am working on Windows 2000, and I want to use Apache 2.x which I have no problems working with. But now, I want it to work with Tomcat 5.5.x ... so, here the questions begins: I understand that I should be using the Java SDK 1.5 now with Tomcat 5.5.x, is that correct? I always thought that JK2 was the new version of JK. I have always used JK2 to connect tomcat 4.x to Apache 2.x. I understand that JK2 is now deprecated and is no longer getting any support? Does this mean I should now use JK to connect Tomcat 5.5.x with Apache 2.x? Do I still need a workers2.properties file? Where can I find documentation on using JK in order to connect Apache 2.x with Tomcat 5.5.x? Any sample files I need? I know I've seen a lot of questions about this on this list and on the net (yes, Google is my friend), but I only get bits and pieces of the whole, I was looking for anything more comprehensive.

RE: Tomcat/Apache/JK(2)?
I too am a Apache/Tomcat/Modjk2 vet. I have begun looking at moving to Tomcat 5.5 and evaluating the need for Apache, as well as other connectors for Modjk2. One you can look at would be Apache Mod Proxy, apparently that has caught on as an excellent way to connect Apache to Tomcat.

Tom, I have Tomcat 5.5.7, Apache 2.0.54, JRE 1.5.0_03, JK 1.2.11, running on Win2k3 server with no problems. The biggest hurdle I had to get over was making the necessary changes on the sample files included with the software. (the worker names didn't match) The files required are mod_jk.so (downloaded at http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/) The instructions I followed are at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/howto/apache.html. The other files involved are workers.properties, mod_jk.conf. The HowTo instructions at the above link are excellent.

Re: Tomcat/Apache/JK(2)?
I can't thank you enough. I was wondering if anyone had done it, and you certainly have. The sample files I have has always been the biggest hurdle for me also. The mod_jk.so I am using is "mod_jk-1.2.13-apache-2.0.54.so" which I think is for Windows. I'll refer to the same directions you used, and I am sure I will get it also. Thanks for giving me hope that it can be done! Now I just have to get past those sample files also. Thanks again!

Re: Tomcat/Apache/JK(2)?
I agree I should work with the files first to see if I can get it to work. I used the sample workers.properties file from Tomcat 5.5 in order to create my working workers,properties file.So, now when I restart Apache2, it doesn't complain and it looks like it is communicating with Tomcat 5.5. However, when I try my JSP page, I get a big 'OK' at the top of the screen and then I get this error message: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. So . after reading the documentation you referred me to, it looks like I need to update my httpd.conf file a bit more. I mean I got the LoadModule working, but it looks like I need to add some Jk commands like JkMount to my httpd.conf file. So, I am playing with that now. I might need your files as a sample, but I'll work on this on my own for a little while. Thanks very much. Tom Darryl Wilburn wrote: Tom, If you need them, I can send you my actual files.

Re: Tomcat/Apache/JK(2)?
The only change I made to httpd.conf was to add the line: Include "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\mod_jk.conf". (You can put the .conf file anywhere, you just have to tell Apache where it's located.) I did find that the HowTo instructions directed you to use "Auto-configure". I ran that once to build the mod_jk.conf-auto file. What I found was that it didn't build it correctly. The JKMount paths didn't match what I had in Tomcat. I don't recall what it put in the file, but it wasn't right. I ended up removing the line that they tell you to add to server.xml to auto-configure once I had the format of the mod_jk.conf file. Also, if you examine the mod_jk.conf file, one of the first things it does is to instruct Apache to "LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so", so it isn't necessary to add that to the httpd.conf file. I did populate the information for JkWorkersFile and JkLogfile. Once I had the url's correctly defined, it just worked. I wondered if it would be helpful for those who have been successful at configuring the connector to just publish a document for the various versions of Tomcat; 4.x, 5.0.x, and 5.5.x. I only say that because even the HowTo document that I used seemed to only get me about 50% of the way there.

Re: Tomcat/Apache/JK(2)?
I have Tomcat 5.5.9 using JK to communicate with Apache 2.0.54 just fine. The workers.properties file is configured correctly, the httpd.conf is configured correctly, and I had to make a small change to server.xml to call my new site. This is all running on one Windows 2000 Server machine. When I first started this I was getting the problem listed below. Looking at the mod_jk.log I found that Tomcat 5.5.9 wasn't listening. So, basically what I had to do was start Tomcat MANUALLY, and then everything worked perfectly. So, what I'd like to do is configure JNI so with JK (not JK2 since it is now deprecated) and get Apache 2.0.54 to automatically start Tomcat 5.5.9. Or, I'd like to use JK (via Apache 2.0.54) to start Tomcat 5.5.9 in-process. In short, can I do this? If I can, can someone refer me to the steps I have to take in workers.properties, server.xml, and httpd.config to make this happen. BTW, in my research I have found people using JK to connect Apache 2.0.x to Tomat 4.x, but it usually involves modifying server.xml to use the Tomcat4 CoyoteConnector, and I wasn;t sure if that was available for Tomcat 5.5. Any help would be much appreciated, and if you need any more information from me, please let me know. Thanks.
