1. Yes, Tomcat is a servlet container and thus supports servlet (spec. 2.3). No, it is not necessary to install JServ but JServ and Tomcat can work together (no problem with the mod_webapp connector).
2. Yes it makes sense since Apache can distribute static files faster than Tomcat. Apache has also modules that can help you (mod_rewrite, mod_php...). But tomcat 4.01 can work *alone* as an HTTP server (port 80, see server.xml). 3. For windows, check the archive: http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/bin/win32 /webapp-module-1.0-tc40-windows.zip Inside, there is a file 'INSTALL.TXT' which explains how to connect the mod_webapp connector under Linux and windows. For Linux, check for the following archive: http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/bin/linux /i386/webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar.gz Good luck Loïc Lefèvre -----Message d'origine----- De : Dong Wenyu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : lundi 4 février 2002 16:05 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : How to configure Tomcat 4.01 + Apache http server 1.3.19 work? I have been confused for weeks about Tomcat 4.01 + Apache http server 1.3.19. 1, Does Tomact 4.01 alone support servlet already? Does it necessary to install JServ in addition as the case with Tomcat 3.x? 2, Many books recommend the configuration of Tomcat + pache http server. Does it make any sense? Couldn't Tomcat 4.01 alone serve as a http server? 3, Anyone would give me instructions to connect Tomcat 4.01 + Apache http server 1.3.19 ? Or is there webpages to find them? Thank you very much in advance. sincerely, Dong Wenyu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!
