Hi Everybody,
Now I will show my real ignorance about what I know after NOT working with
Apache or Tomcat for several years now. I have been working on a project that
allows our CGI web pages to authenticate users from their windows desktop
against Windows AD and not requiring any kind of unix account. I am slowly
getting the information I need to move forward but information is just not out
there to get. I am just chipping away at it.
My basic question is: do I need to install apache as well as tomcat to have an
httpd.conf file? I have tomcat running on several AIX servers, 6.1 and 5.3,
with tomcat 7.0.27 installed. I was doing a simple search to find the
httpd.conf file when I realized none of my servers have it installed. When I
try to find out which app creates it I get the answer apache (from google
searches). So I guess that tomcat is a subset of apache? A virtual java app I
suppose? See I told you the questions were basic. Yikes it is hard to
understand as a newbie, especially when I can load tomcat and get web pages
working in a few minutes. LOL
Any help is appreciated in regard to helping me wrap my brain around this. ARGH
Regards,
Jen

Hi Jen,
basic answer:
Apache HTTPD and Apache Tomcat have generally nothing in common. They
are totally different.
The httpd.conf is the main configuration file for the Apache HTTPD
Webserver. It comes with the installation of an Apache HTTPD Webserver
and is located in <apache_home>/conf/httpd.conf. Tomcat neither
generates nor reads this file.
Bye
Thomas
