I finally got tomcat
to serve up the proper web pages with mod_ssl in the picture. For those
who may not remember, here is what I was attempting to
accomplish: Tomcat and Apache sharing the same document root:
/apache/htdocs/pub for http, and /apache/htdocs/secure for https. The
problem seemed to boil down to the fact that the "" context could only be
established once for an IP address, irrespective of which ports the requests
came in on. So while HTML pages were correctly served up from the
appropriate directory from Apache, tomcat would only let me establish one ""
context and thus only one docBase, with the result that when I asked for a
secure page like https://www/myserver.com/jsptest.jsp,
tomcat would give me the page out of the pub directory, not out of the secure
one.
My solution to this
problem was to use two copies of Tomcat, once with a docBase of
/apache/htdocs/pub using ajp12, and the other with a docBase of
/apache/htdocs/secure using the ajp13 connector. Because I have two
instances of tomcat running, I had to modify one of them to put ajp12 on a
non-default port; I moved it from 8007 to 8008. I also couldn't include
the default workers.properties file, but had to handcraft
one.
But it is finally
working. Craig, you might want to consider allowing tomcat to be started
with specified server.xml and workers.properties files. As it is, I had to
install tomcat twice.
