We got this working by replicating the tomcat directory structure on the apache box. the reason for this lies somewhere in the way MOD_DIR and AUTO_INDEXING work. A good example of what i mean follows
for the below to work you would have to have a /test directory on you apache server. even if you did not have any data in it. When mod_dir checks to see if a directory exists it does not for some reason transverse accross the plugin but only the local filesystem based upon your DOC_ROOT directory. On you tomcat server you would create a directory called test inside the ROOT directory of jakarta-tomcat /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ROOT/test This is where you JSP's would go. You will also need to modify you workers.properties file and put a copy of it on the apache server. the particular line that is important for this is the host line. It is set by default to be "localhost" change it to the machine that is your tomcat server. <IfModule mod_jk.c> JkWorkersFile /usr/local/apache/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile logs/jk.log JkLogLevel warn JkMount /*.jsp ajpB12 JkMount /test/servlet/* ajpB12 JkMount /test/*.jsp ajpB12 Alias /test "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/test" <Directory "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webXpps/test"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory> Alias /test "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ROOT/test" <Directory "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webXpps/ROOT"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory> </IfModule> This is the only way we have found that allow mod_jk to work correctly with tomcat and apache. if some else on this list has gotten this to work, possibly a more correct way please post it to the list. If this is the correct way please let me know i have not been able to find ANY documentation pertaining to the setup of mod_jk using remote workers. Good luck with this, Israel -----Original Message----- From: Y Toshiko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 10:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Apache and remote tomcat server I've going through the archives and discovered many messages relating to this problem. As in "mod_jk and remote tomcat server" (25 Apr 2001), Jserv enables Apache to access remote tomcat. Is it possible to do the same thing with mod_jk? Any advise or information is appreciated.
