[Red5] Apache 2.2.4 / Tomcat 6.0.13 mod_jk-apache-2.2.4.so binary file capability to run RMPT and RTMPT

[Lenny Sorey]

OK, the following is the setup to allow a Tomcat 6.0.13 user to be able to
run Apache 2.2.4 and Tomcat 6.0.13 in concert

The following confg is what I used setup Apache / Tomcat on a local machine
for testing before I deployed to a live server.

I am going to start with Apache first. The Apache version is the latest:
2.2.4


  1. First the http.config file in the Apache22/conf folder
  2. Around line 115 add the following:
  3. LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
  4. Down around line line 474, uncomment this line
  5. # Virtual hosts
  Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
  6. Save http.conf and exit.



  1. The second item to be done is to find the httpd-vhosts.conf in the
  Apache22/conf/extra folder.
  2. The following is my config for this file for everything below line
  42.. Everything down to line 42 I commented out.

  JkWorkersFile D:/java/Apache22/conf/workers.properties

  JkLogFile D:/java/Apache22/logs/mod_jk.log

  # Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
  JkLogLevel info

  # Select the log format
  JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "

  # JkOptions indicate to send SSL KEY SIZE,
  JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories

  # JkRequestLogFormat set the request format
  JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"

  <VirtualHost *:80>

   ServerName red5
   DocumentRoot D:/java/Tomcat6/webapps2
   JkMount /* worker1

      <Directory "/">
          Options Indexes MultiViews
          AllowOverride None
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
      </Directory>

      <Location "/WEB-INF/">
        AllowOverride None
        deny from all
      </Location>

  </VirtualHost>
  3.

  Edit httpd-vhosts.conf for your respective paths (Items in BLUE ) and
  save the file.
  4.

  Next, download mod_jk-apache-2.2.4.so , rename it mod_jk.so and place
  mod_jk.so in the
  Apache22/modules folder. The following url is where to download:

  http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/
  5.

  Copy the following item config and name it workers.properties and
  place workers.properties in the Apache22/conf folder

  # Define 1 ajp13 worker
  worker.list=worker1
  # Set properties for worker1 (ajp13)
  worker.worker1.type=ajp13
  worker.worker1.host=localhost
  worker.worker1.port=8009
  worker.worker1.lbfactor=50
  worker.worker1.socket_keepalive=1
  worker.worker1.socket_timeout=300
  6. This is all that is to be done to the Apache side.




  1. OK, now let's configure the Tomcat side:

  Be sure in your environment variables that you have Catalina_Home
  defined
  where you have Tomcat installed. i.e.- D:/Tomcat6
  2. Find the folder Tomcat6/conf and open up server.xml
  Just below line 146, insert a space and add the following:

  <Host name="red5"
         unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
         xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

     <Context path=""
              docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps2/red5"
              reloadable="true">
          </Context>
   </Host>
  3.

  Save server.xml and exit
  4.

  Manually add webapps2 folder to Tomcat6 : -> Tomcat6/webapps2

  (The reason we add webapps2 is so you can have complete control over
  Apache.
  if not, then Tomcat's default page will display when you enter
  http://localhost )
  5.

  Now if you use webapps2 in Tomcat, you will need to change 2 files in
  RED5 and recompile in
  order for red5 to find webapps2. The files are as follows:

  red5/src/org/red5/server/Standalone.java  - down around line 143

  // Set Red5 root as environment variable
          System.setProperty("red5.root", root);
    log.info("Setting Red5 root to " + root);

    System.setProperty("red5.webapp.root", root+"/webapps2/");
    log.info("Setting webapp root to " + root);

  red5/src/org/red5/server/TomcatLoader.java  - down around line 81
  (Actually I am not sure about this file but I chnaged it anyway.

  static {
    log.info("Init tomcat");
    // root location for servlet container
    String serverRoot = System.getProperty("red5.root");
    log.info("Server root: " + serverRoot);
    String confRoot = System.getProperty("red5.config_root");
    log.info("Config root: " + confRoot);
    // root location for servlet container
    appRoot = serverRoot + "/webapps2";
    log.info("Application root: " + appRoot);
    // set in the system for tomcat classes
    System.setProperty("tomcat.home", serverRoot);
    System.setProperty("catalina.home", serverRoot);
    System.setProperty("catalina.base", serverRoot);
  6.

  After all this, place red5 in the webapps2 folder
  7.

  Restart Tomcat Service
  8.

  Restart Apache Service
  9.

  Type http://red5   , You should see the RED5 default index.html page.
