Hi Everybody, INTRO: I don't seem to be the only one having problems configuring Apache 2.0.35 and Tomcat 4.0.3. So I am going to try to summarize every tips and problems found so far and I'd like to suggest we all treat this topic as a single topic instead of concurrently having three or four topics about the same thing.
OBJECTIVE: integrating Tomcat 4.0.3 in Apache 2.0.35 under Windows 2000/XP in order to serve JSP and Servlet requests. Nothing fancy, no special features expected (ie. load balancing), at least during the first stage of the configuration. SUGGESTION: use of mod_webapp module, since mod_jk1 module seems not to be developed and tested under the previously mentioned settings and since mod_jk2 seems under heavy development and unfortunately not expected soon. BUT other working and suitable suggestion to achieve the objective are more than welcome... QUESTION: as anyone succeeded in the specified task? using mod_webapp module or other solution. CURRENT PROBLEM: there is actually a installation guide line showing how to achieve the specified task. However it seems outdated since several users had Apache refusing to load mod_webapp module even having followed the installation step. To summarize here are the steps we all fully double checked to make sure no mistakes were done: 1) Install Apache 2.0.35 (as a Win service), make sure it's running. DONE 2) Install Tomcat 4.0.3 (as a Win service), make sure it's running. DONE 3) Copy mod_webapp.so to apache/modules/ directory. DONE double checked 4a) Copy libapr.dll to apache/modules/ directory. DONE double checked (if 4b) done maybe not required) 4b) Copy libapr.dll to to windows/system32/ directory. DONE double checked (if 4a) maybe not required) 5) Add "LoadModule webapp_module modules/mod_webapp.so" in Apache httpd.conf DONE double checked 6) Test Apache httpd using Apache.exe -t in the console. FAILED: Cannot load APACHE_PATH/modules/mod_webapp.so into server: The specified module could not be found. QUESTIONS: are we missing a step? Or is there some bug there making the whole undertaking impossible? Would it be a Tomcat, an Apache, or a web_app problem? POTENTIALLY LINKED PROBLEM: some of us also tried to integrate PHP4.2 under the same environment. The same problem has been reported whenever "LoadModule php4_module PHP_PATH/sapi/php4apache.dll" was added in the Apache httpd.conf. That seems surprisingly similar to us. Would it be an Apache problem? Is there some problem in the way Apache 2 is working with modules in its Windows release?
