Re: Trying to configure apache, tomcat and mod_jk
Thanks to Paul Constantine and Alan Chandler for their responses. I've managed to get it all working (eventually!). I think there were two stumbling blocks: 1. I had rebuild Apache but was accidentally running the old version, so the httpd.conf was not being picked up. 2. Paul's blog clarified which settings I should be using in server.xml. I've tried to record exactly what I did here: http://philoxenic.blogspot.com/2005/07/setting-up-tomcat.html. This might be particularly useful for anyone else trying to set up Tomcat on a Go Daddy virtual dedicated server. I set things up considerably different, though. For example, I was just trying to serve jsp's from the $CATALINA_HOME\webapps directory. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the JkMount directive only points to that directory. I think the JkMounts are just telling JK to try to pass on the request to Tomcat if the URL fits a particular pattern. I've JkMounted all of the directories I need, and Tomcat is happy to look for the files in a different directory from Apache. It looks like you're defining more workers in your workers.properties than you're actually using in httpd.conf. I don't think you need the ajp12 worker. Yes, you're right. Thanks. Another thing is that you have not defined a JkShmFile (a shared memory file). This is required for connectors 1.2.10 and later (although 1.2.13 might set one up on its own). I didn't need this with 1.2.13. Just a quick look at your server.xml file seems to be missing the engine jvmroute= ... that I have. I still don't have an engine jvmroute= However, my workers.properties sets up the paths for Java and Tomcat. I don't know whether this is the same thing. Computers -- don't you just love em! ;-) Thanks again Matthew -- Matthew Strawbridge http://www.philoxenic.com Bespoke software development and freelance technical copy editing - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Trying to configure apache, tomcat and mod_jk
Hi After spending several days trying to set this up from the documentation, I've finally decided I need some expert help. I have a server set up with several domains sharing an IP address. I want to be able to have JSP files in amongst my static files, and have apache serve the static ones and to forward the requests for *.jsp to tomcat using mod_jk. At present: http://www.philoxenic.com:8080/test.jsp correctly serves up /home/httpd/vhosts/philoxenic.com/jsp/test.jsp through tomcat. (I would rather have these files in ../httpdocs/, but thought it might be easier if apache couldn't find the files itself). http://www.philoxenic.com/test.jsp comes up with a 'Not Found' error. This is what I want to get working. If I copy test.jsp from 'jsp' to 'httpdocs' then http://www.philoxenic.com/test.jsp serves it up as plain HTML (i.e. bypassing Tomcat). Please can someone point me in the right direction. To get this far I've had to recompile apache, compile tomcat and mod_jk, and think I have been going round in circles following out-of-date documents on the Web. I feel I'm close, but perhaps can't see the wood for the trees.

Re: Trying to configure apache, tomcat and mod_jk
Hey Matthew, I'm no expert, but I can tell you what I did to get it running. I'm running Apache 2.0 on Fedora Core 4. I basically ended up just rolling back my versions to get things to work. I rolled back to Tomcat 5.0.28 with mod_jk 1.2.10. It's true. The documentation on the web is out of date and very confusing. I set things up considerably different, though. For example, I was just trying to serve jsp's from the $CATALINA_HOME\webapps directory. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the JkMount directive only points to that directory. It looks like you're defining more workers in your workers.properties than you're actually using in httpd.conf. I don't think you need the ajp12 worker. Another thing is that you have not defined a JkShmFile (a shared memory file). This is required for connectors 1.2.10 and later (although 1.2.13 might set one up on its own). Here's a link to the relevant lines in my config files. I got this working this weekend, so you can be sure they're fresh. http://ill-conditioned.stanford.edu/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Fedora If the wiki link doesn't work, then you know I'm still having problems. :) Hope this helps, Paul Quoting Matthew Strawbridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi After spending several days trying to set this up from the documentation, I've finally decided I need some expert help.
