mod_webapp config problem

[Selvaraj N]

Hi,

I am experiencing problems in configuring webapp with Apache 1.3.26 and
Tomcat 4.0.3.

httpd.conf
---
LoadModule webapp_module libexec/mod_webapp.so
WebAppConnection warpConnection warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/


Tomcat starts fine and listens at the configured port - 8008. When the
Apache server is started I get the following error message.

Syntax error on line 1416 of /opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid virtual host name
/opt/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started


Line number 1416 is . WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/

Please note that the same Apache+Tomcat setup works fine with the mod_jk
module and I could access examples application.

Please correct me if I am missing anything in webapp configuration.

Regards,
Selva

tomcat-apache mod_webapp config problem

[matt]

I'm running Tomcat 4.0.3 and Apache 1.3.23 on Red Hat 7.2. Tomcat is set up correctly 
and is running on port 8080. Port 8008 is set up for use by the Tomcat WARP connector 
and requests to this port generate an error in the apache_log.txt file. Unfortunately, 
Apache doesn't talk to this port. I've installed mod_webapp.so in the /libexec 
directory. I'm trying to set this up with a virtual host. I do not have a ServerName 
defined outside any vitual host block, but adding one doesn't seem to help matters. 
Here are the relevant portions of my httpd.conf

LoadModule webapp_module  libexec/mod_webapp.so
(...)
AddModule mod_webapp.c
(...)

NameVirtualHost yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:8000
NameVirtualHost yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy


WebAppConnection webapp_conn warp mydomain.com:8008
WebAppInfo /webapp-info



ServerName www.myotherdomain.com
WebAppDeploy myWebapp webapp_conn /
WebAppDeploy examples webapp_conn /examples


The only change I've made to Tomcat's server.xml file is the addition of the virtual 
host settings for www.myotherdomain.com.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Matt Belcher

RE: mod_webapp config

[JStanczak]

Send me the steps. I'm running a Solaris 8 7/01 Sparc station with apache
and tomcat 4.0.1. I try to use the mod_webapp.so but get errors every time.
I complains that the mod can't be loaded. I'm going to ask the question on
the list again, but I think mod_jk is the only way.

Re: mod_webapp config

[vendo]

Hi Mike
I'm encountering a few pb with mo_jk, but at least Apache httpd is starting
without any pb.
When I request http://localhost:8009, I get this error message in tomcat4

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  | 
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

at
org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Processor.run(Ajp13Processor.java:424)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
=

I guess there is something wrong somewhere:
(I got the same result with all the lines about webinf ...)

here is what I've added to httpd.conf
# Tomcat 4.0 WebApp Connector

# Tomcat 4.0 AJP13 Connector
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.dll

JkWorkersFile "G:/Tomcat/conf/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "G:/Tomcat/logs/mod_jk.log"

#
# Log level to be used by mod_jk
#
JkLogLevel error

#
# Root context mounts for Tomcat
#
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13

"
And I've added the correct lines in the properties file.

If you have any idea about what is going wrong...

Re: mod_webapp config

[vendo]

Thanks a lot
I've seen a few pages, mainly about ajp13, I don't really know what it is.
I'd appreciate if you could send me a few notes on how I should install
mod_jk on Tomcat4 for Apache1.3.22 on win95.

Thanks by advance.

Re: mod_webapp config

[hanzo]

mod_webapp turned out to be quite easy to set up... (if we had decent docs and
tutorials) *sigh*

this is a Apache virtual host setting...


ServerAlias my
ServerName my.domain


WebAppConnection TestConn warp my.domain:8008
WebAppDeploy test TestConn /


DocumentRoot C:/Program Files/Apache Tomcat 4.0/webapps/test

ErrorLog logs/my-error.log
CustomLog logs/my-access.log common



then you can save below example as index.jsp in "C:/Program Files/Apache Tomcat
4.0/webapps/test"

<%@ page language="Java" %>


JSP Request Method: <%= request.getMethod() %>
Date: <%= new java.util.Date() %>



Go to http://my.domain from your web browser...

The reason why I cant get it working in the first place is the WebAppDeploy
directive.
If you want jsp pages on your root dir then the last parameter should be "/"
like the above examples
If you set it to.. lets say "/test/" then you should point your browser to
http://my.domain/test
I hope this will end a lot of confusion..

Great idea! Really! ;)

But I guess you loose a bit functionality, e.g. the
Context|Request|Config.getSomeAttribute() returns the wrong values?

Unlike mod_jk, mod_webapp is not supposed to distinguish serevlets from JSPs. It 
simply installs a handler for a virtual path and all requests made to an URL belonging 
to that path will be forwarded to it's registered Warp connection.

Nix.

I'm attaching my config file (web.xml) for detailed look.

I have Tomcat with a virtual host defined in "Tomcat-Standalone" service and I have 
also "Warp" service. Standalone works, as defined, but the warp connection refuses to 
deploy. The adiional "spice" to my config is that I'm trying to connect from Apache on 
another host.

The virtual host on Tomcat is "Mercury.ev.co.yu:8080" and it works from browsers. I'm 
trying to connect from Apache on Legba.ev.co.yu. On Legba I have defined ServerName 
(no virtual host on Apache, should I have one?) and my connect in httpd.conf looks 
like this:


ServerName  Legba.ev.co.yu:80
WebAppConnectionTomcat40warpMercury.ev.co.yu:8008
WebAppDeployaddr_book   Tomcat40/addr_book
WebAppDeployaddr_admin  Tomcat40/addr_admin
WebAppDeploytomcat-docs Tomcat40/tomcat-docs


All of these Deploy directives produce an error in Tomcat's log:

2001-11-27 21:22:38 [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConfigurationHandler] 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: addChild:  Child name 'legba.ev.co.yu' is not 
unique
at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java, 
Compiled Code)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.addChild(StandardEngine.java,

 Compiled Code)
at org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnection.run(WarpConnection.java, 
Compiled Code)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)

I have looked at the source, the error originates not from Warp, but deeper, from 
Container.addChild(...). Looks like Warp tries to register "Legba.ev.co.yu" twice, but 
I can clearly see it is synchronized on "getContainer", so it couldn't be the 
troublemaker...

Any additional insight? Any unhealthy practices in my approach?

Nix.

RE: mod_webapp config

[William Tansill]

I've just gotten Tomcat up and talking to Apache, so I'm not certain.  In
looking at the file server.xml though, I see the following entry:




followed by a number of other entries dealing with persistence and such.

My guess is that if you want to create and run your own JSP's, you will need
to install them per the standard deployment mechanism, update server.xml to
reflect the new deployment context, and then restart Tomcat.  At least those
are the steps I'm planning on taking when I get an example up and running.
If you get your stuff working first, write back to the group and let me know
how you did it.  Thanks!

How can I tell Apache to process jsp files ?
the above config dont process jsp files.. for example.. if I drop index.jsp
into
the /ROOT/ dir, Apache wont process it
Even if I have add DirectoryIndex directives, it just display the file (just
like HTML files), but not 'process' it
The strange thing is if I click on the examples, it works..
Should I modify the config, or I just have to use port 8080 (which I don't
want
to)

RE: mod_webapp config

I haven't modified server.xml.  I just got Tomcat up and running, and
haven't started any development yet.  Simply adding the VHost and Hosts
entries let me connect to Tomcat and run the examples.  FWIW, I've started
getting ArrayIndexOutOfBounds errors just running some of the Servlet
examples, so all may not be well after all...

What does your web.xml look like? I'm having troubles with Tomcat side, I'd

I'm using one of Pier's nightly builds, but I have a nasty feeling it's me
screwing something up - Pier's code looks clean on the part that's bugging
me.

This is a partial listing of my VHosts section of Apache's httpd.conf file:

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost 192.168.123.105


   ServerName www.servlets.com
   DocumentRoot "d:/Program Files/Apache Tomcat 4.0/webapps/ROOT/"

   WebAppConnection conn warp localhost:8008
   WebAppDeploy examples conn /examples


Since this is a LOCAL server for my development, www.servlets.com doesn't
actually exist.  Instead, I've edited my HOSTS file (on Win2k this is
located in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc) to add the line:

192.168.123.105  www.servlets.com

If you have DNS up and running, then you'll need to add something similar to
your DNS configuration.

There's information about virtual hosts in the mod_webapp install doc: 


Maybe this helps.

Well, it's definitely weird, as WARP uses the same classes of HTTP for
contexts. There shouldn't be any functional difference between the two.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that the two web-application
instances (the one accessed thru HTTP, and the one accessed thru Apache and
WARP) are different, they are _NOT_ the same instance... And this might
create some problems (but I don't think so)...

Craig, any hint?

Re: tomcat 4 mod_webapp config

The patch works fine for me -- the deploy directive works as expected when 
using a URI of "/"

I am now seeing some other weirdness.  In $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml, 
this context has a jdbc resource defined with it.  I'm testing access to 
it with a simple jsp which picks up the Context, looks up the resource, 
and casts to a javax.sql.DataSource.  When this context is accessed via 
Tomcat's HTTP server port, it works fine.  When I try to access it via the 
mod_webapp connector via apache, Context.lookup() returns a null 
reference. 

What's odd is that I tried iterating through what was bound in that 
context, and it does show a reference to the specified resource via tomcat 
http and apache.  It's just that I can't successfully do the lookup() via 
apache.

I've tried both of the syntaxes (sp?) for specifying a resource-ref in the 
webapp's web.xml suggested by Craig here recently.  Here's what I have 
now:

  
laser datasource
jdbc/laser_ds
javax.sql.DataSource
  

I don't know how the naming context would be different between the two 
setups, unless the Warp connector interferes somehow (I'm not familiar 
with its internals at all)

I'm stumped.  Any ideas?

Nope, they don't... You can even remove the whole full first part of the
server.xml (you can keep only the Tomcat-Apache engine).
If you need virtualhost support, just configure them in your Apache
httpd.conf, and put your WebAppDeploy lines inside your  
tags.

It's all done automatically (no mod_rewrite, no auto-creation of
configuration files, no nothing)

tomcat 4 mod_webapp config

[VASQUEZ_JASON]

All,

I'm having a little problem with mod_webapp (or maybe I'm not 
understanding this properly).

I have an application deployed in catalina (v. 4b7) called "laserweb" 
(accessible via tomcat's http server port under /laserweb).  I'd like to 
deploy this as the root of a virtual host in apache.  I've configured the 
connector like this within the virutal host:

WebAppConnection myconn warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy laserweb myconn /

This doesn't seem to have any affect, as .jsp's, etc. are not being 
processed.  If I pick an URI other than "/", it will work.  (i.e.,

WebAppDeploy laserweb myconn /testuri

works as expected -- the webapp is available via 
http:///testuri

Also, does the module have some way of resolving symbolic links?  laserweb 
is symlinked into the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory, yet the 
/webapp-info/ page from my virtual host displays the "actual" directory 
location (the target of the link)---I found this a little odd.  How does 
the module know?

My understanding is that using mod_webapp, tomcat virtual hosts don't 
matter.  Is this incorrect?  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Jason
