Hi all, On the subject of Apache web server, we are going to be building a new MT server in the near future (Window 2003). We have decided to use Tomcat without IIS. I am wondering what the benefits of using Apache for the web server and Tomcat for the jsp engine would be (if any).
My thought is that it may give us a little bit more flexibility than just using Tomcat as the web server. We do run some static pages as well as RKM. We plan on creating different Tomcat instances for MT and RKM (following the teachings of Christopher Strauss). Would it be beneficial to run an Apache front end web server on ports 80/443 that directs traffic to the correct website or jsp engine? I am more familiar with Apache than Tomcat and am not too clear on what differences in features are (i.e. what features are missing in Tomcat). Would there be a negative performance impact using Apache in front of MT running on Tomcat? Would the results be similar to running IIS with the Tomcat plugin (the slowest combination in BMC's benchmarking)?
