Just something that I found to be very useful. If I use the minimal server.xml and put the context.xml files into place. I can use the same server.xml file as well. The only thing I have to do is to put the context file into the new install and I am done. Works great!

So in other words - I start with one tomcat install. Get it working - then copy the whole thing to a new dir. The only difference between those 2 tomcat installations is server.xml. Yes - I end up with redundant copies but I prefer it that way. But when I want to upgrade or make changes - its much easier to keep things running 24x7 since the directories are NOT shared. I do not keep any webapps inside my tomcat installation. They all live somewhere else on my filesystem. -Tim armalai wrote: > Tim., > I understand that i should use mod_jk instead of mod_jk2 .. > Let me start with my basic problem. > 1.How do i create more than two instances.? > Using CATALINA_BASE i have created one instance.but i'm not able to get > the jsp pages from the original instances. > > Thanks., > MALAI > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tim Funk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 9:21 AM > Subject: Re: Tomcat Loadbalancing > > > >>Start here first >>http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/ >> >>-Tim >> >>armalai wrote: >> >> >>>Hi., >>> I'm trying to do Loadbalancing in tomcat. >>>My environement details are, >>>Windows >>>Tomcat 4.1.xx >>>Apace 2.x >>>Mod_jk2 connector >>> >>>Right now i'm stuck up with apache to tomcat >>>communication thru ajp. >>> >>>my questions are below.. >>>1.How do i create multiple instance of tomcat? >>> using CATALINA_BASE i could able to create one >>>instance with new server.xml from different location. >>> but not able to retrieve the jsp pages from default >>>tomcat instances webapp. >>> i want to create more than two instances. >>>2.How do i do the loadbalancing & clustering? >>> give me the idea about worker properties config. >>>3.Is it possible to do session replication?in few >>>websites they talk about sticky session? >>>what is sticky?does it covers session replica? >>> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
