Hi
I have Apache 2 (as part of a `LAMP' install) and TomCat 5.0.28 installed on a Debian Linux: 2.6.12-1-686 system and I want to make Apache and Tomcat listen/connect to the same port.
2 services can not listen to the same port, you probably want Apache to listen to port 80 and Tomcat on another port and configure the mod_jk apache module + the Java-based Connector on the Tomcat end to passe the data between the two.
After a little searching I found: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc-archive/jk2/index.html which describes how JK2 is a refactoring of JK which replaced JSERV, but then I read else where that JK2 is no longer supported and all the `useful' bits from JK2 are now in JK. .... jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk-1.2.14-linux-sles9-x86_64-prefork.so jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk-1.2.14-linux-sles9-x86_64-worker.so ... should I rename these? ... and if so, to what?
Yes, one or two pages contain wrong information, the situation is the following: - if you can, use apache 2.2.x and mod_proxy_ajp - if you prefer, or have to, use apache 2.0, use mod_jk. In this case, I wouldn't use a connector build for another distribution: download the source from tomcat's web site and compile following the instructions. Then you need to setup working entities, i.e Workers, between the apache and Tomcat engines using the mandatory workers.properties file (A Tomcat worker is a Tomcat instance that is waiting to execute servlets or any other content on behalf of some web server). Concrete steps are: 1 Create a workers.properties file in your httpd's configuration folder 2 Add the module "jk" to the list of apache modules 3 modify your httpd.conf to point to the workers file, something like JkSet config.file /etc/httpd/workers2.properties 4 create the jk.properties file in your tomcat root. 5 (optional) Create an apache virtual host "dedicated" to tomcat, something like: <VirtualHost myhost:80> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName myhost DocumentRoot "/opt/jakarta/tomcat/webapps" ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/myhost-error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/myhost-access_log combined <Location "/*"> JkUriSet worker ajp13:localhost:8009 </Location> </VirtualHost> Hope it helps Regards, Gaël
