Re: window 98/tomcat set up ?? FAQ page down

2000-10-25 Thread Bill Stearns



Tomcat unpaks to jakarta-tomcat unless you renamed the directory...
If this is the case, you'll need to update your TOMCAT_HOME

Configuration Files in /conf directory

2000-10-24 Thread Bill Stearns

Hi,

We're running Apache 1.3.12 with Tomcat 3.1 and have
several questions regarding the configuration files in the /conf
directory (Windows NT)

I read in the documentation that the tomcat-apache.conf
file is generated when you start Tomcat. Are any of the other
files used as input to Tomcat when generating this file ??
Originally I thought that if I made changes to the tomcat.conf file,
this would be used as input to create tomcat-apache.conf, but
it doesn't appear so. So, my question is, if I wanted to, say, add a
new servlet zone, do I just make a copy of the tomcat-apache.conf
file to another name, then make the changes and update the
include directive in the httpd.conf file with the new name ?? If
there are no input files to create the tomcat-apache.conf file,
is Tomcat spitting out the same file each time it starts ?? If so,
why ?? If not, please point me to the proper configuration file
to alter to have the changes appear in the newly created
tomcat-apache.conf file. On a similar thread, some documents
recommend including tomcat.conf in the httpd.conf file, others
include tomcat-apache.conf. Is there a preference ??

Also, does any one know where there may be documentation
on what all the configuration files in the /conf directory are used for
??
I found explanations on server.xml, web.xml, tomcat.conf and
tomcat-apache.conf but nothing on any of the others.

TIA, Bill Stearns

mod_jk vs ApacheModuleJserv.dll on WinNT

2000-10-24 Thread Bill Stearns

I'm a little confused. In the documentation on
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/mod_jk-howto.html

It recommends that, if you're including tomcat.conf or
tomcat-apache.conf in the Apache httpd.conf file, you
should remove these to use the mod_jk module instead
of the mod_jserv.

Should we be using the mod_jk instead of the
ApacheModuleJserv.dll ??

Thanks for your input, Bill Stearns

Converting from JRun

2000-10-24 Thread Bill Stearns

Can anyone point me to any documentation regarding
JRun - tomcat conversions ? Specifically in the area of
mapping a URL to a servlet ??

ie, in JRun, one would add a line to rules.properties
such as:

/url/   Yourservlet

What is the equivelent in Tomcat ??


thanks, Bill
