Re: Connecting Tomcat 4.1.12 with Apache 1.3

[Jerry Ford]

John:

Thanks, I'll try it.
But, your website matrix of connectors/OSs/server versions just misses my setup on each detail---I'm running Apache 1.3.27 and Tomcat 4.1.12 on Red Hat Linux 7.1; your matrix shows Apache 1.3.26, Tomcat 4.1.10, RHLinux 7.2.
How critical are version numbers?

Mod_webapp is deprecated, and has some fairly serious limitations.

JK/JK2 is the better choice if you are concerned with future growth.

If you're having problems, perhaps my HOWTOs will help:

Denise:

I have just got my Apache 1.3.27/Tomcat 4.1.12 connection to work.

Answers to your questions are yes, and yes. You need a connector between them, and mod_jk.so is one such connector.

However, I had a devil of a time locating any connector on the apache.org website, and I never was able to make mod_jk work (I tried using the version that did work with my Tomcat 3.2 installation, but it did not work with 4.1 and I was not able to locate mod_jk---any version---on the apache website in order to rebuild).

I ended up using mod_webapp.so, which is another connector.

It's located in the jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.12-src.tar.gz, which you can download from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.12/src/ (the same directory as tomcat itself).

When you unpack it, look for README.txt in the webapp directory. It will tell you how to build the connector from CVS. Follow the directions in the readme. They're clear, straightforward, and the build process was smooth and routine, for me at least.

Hi all,

I am fairly new to using Apache / Tomcat. I currently have my website set

up

in Apache, running in the /var/html directory. I have installed Tomcat
because I have a form page (HTML) that I want to run a servlet with to
process a credit card payment with an outside payment processor. I have

seen

some instances that people have stated I have to do some special
configuration in order to use both Apache and Tomcat together. Is this so?
If so, then are there any good resources for this?

Perhaps using JSP for the form will be better because I want a custom page
to display depending on what error message will come back from the payment
engine. If that is the case then wouldn't I need the connection between
Apache and Tomcat? (the images I will need for the JSP page is stored in
apache web directory as well). Is this the mod_jk plug in? (I am running
RedHat Linux 7.3)

Thanks in advance!
