Hello, First, my apologies for inadvertently hijacking a previous thread. Long time reader, first time poster. Won't happen again.
Now, First the versions: Apache : 1.3.33 Tomcat: 6.0.13 mod_jk: 1.2.23 I am currently working on upgrading our environment to a newer version of Tomcat and mod_jk, and seem to be running into an issue with mod_jk and mod_dir. More specifically, the issue I am running into is the default file list. As I understand, it is intended behavior for the Apache DirectoryIndex directive to be more or less ignored, and instead the <welcome-file-list /> directive in web.xml is used to determine which files are loaded and in which order by default. Now, the issue I run into is that I do not know in advance what our customers will be loading on their site. There is a very real possibility that they may have an index.php file, which we want to have load first. This is something that I want to have Apache load, instead of Tomcat attempting to parse it, since we run php in a sandbox (suPHP). Everything I have attempted, ends up basically the same when attempting to view a site by the hostname only (ie., http://hostname.tld/) If I add <welcome-file>index.php</welcome-file> to the <welcome-file-list> in my web.xml, it simply asks me to download the php file, instead of it being parsed by Apache. If it is not in the welcome-file-list, it simply goes to the next one that is (index.html) and is still parsed by Tomcat, not Apache. The related Apache Jk settings are as follows: In addition, after the mod_jk include, but prior to any Jk settings, I have the following: LoadModule dir_module libexec/mod_dir.so LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex default.html default.htm index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm home.html home.htm welcome.html index.jsp </IfModule> <Location "/"> SetEnvIf REQUEST_URI ^/(.*)/*.php$ no-jk SetEnvIf REQUEST_URI ^/(.*)/*.html$ no-jk </Location> JkWorkersFile /web/conf/workers.properties JkUnMount /*.php local JkMountFile /web/conf/uriworkermap.properties JkLogFile /web/logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel info JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] " JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %U %T" The contents of workers.properties are: worker.list=local,jkstatus # Set properties for worker1 (ajp13) worker.local.type=ajp13 worker.local.host=localhost worker.local.port=8009 worker.local.lbfactor=1 worker.jkstatus.type=status worker.local.mount=/ /* The contents of uriworkermap.properties are: #exclude extensions !*.html=local !*.php=local I understand that there are a few settings that are redundant, but I have tried every "don't touch php, tomcat" setting I can find, and it is still attempting to parse it. Also a thing to note. This only happens when attempting to view the default page. If I browse directly to http://hostname.tld/index.php, it works fine. So, my question is, how do I either prevent Tomcat from handling these requests, or tell it to pass them back to Apache if it doesn't know what to do with them? I thank you for your time and help in this matter, Dan D.
