Greetings List,

 

System information for starters:

 

Database: MS SQL Server 2000 SP4 on Windows Server 2003

Application: Remedy 6.3 on Windows Server 2003

Web: MidTier 6.3 on Windows Server 2003 with IIS6 and Servlet Exec.

 

Now, onto the "problem".

 

I've gleemed from the list that the Win2K3/IIS6/MidTier/ServletExec combination is rather slow.  I've noticed some sluggishness myself.

 

I've also seen people mention that an Apache/Tomcat combination is quicker.

 

Therefore, I've stood up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 server with Apache and Tomcat.  Furthermore, I've installed MidTier 7 rather than 6.3 and pointed the install to the Application server listed above.

 

My questions are:

 

1.) Will MT7 work with ARS 6.3?

 

2.) Given that the above answer is "yes", what caveats do I need to know to get MT working correctly with Apache/Tomcat?

 

I know Apache is working as I can see the standard test page when accessing it from another box.  The same goes for Tomcat.

 

As far as installation is concerned, apache is at /etc/httpd and tomcat is (unfortunately at this time) is in a user's directory /home/<user>/apache-tomcat-<version>

 

MidTier is installed at /usr/ar/mid-tier.

 

These are all of the configuration settings I passed into the MT7 installer script, which finished without errors.

 

Any special configurations I need to make to MidTier, Apache, Tomcat, or all of the above?

 

When I attempt to access (from the RHEL box) http://localhost/arsys/config/config.jsp as annotated in the documentation, I get a page not found. 

 

I made a symbolic link in /var/www/http/ and pointed it to the MT install home directory and when I visit the page above, I see the JSP script in the browser window.

 

Thanks,
