 Hello Everyone, first post to the list  =)

 I have a test setup with Solaris 9, Apache 2.043, mod_jk and two tomcats
 (4.131  JDK 1.5.0)

 To have the Tomcats handling the applications, first I used the
 following lines but the problem was that my jsp's where taken by tomcat
 but my images, css and other elements where served by apache, hence my
 images, styles, etc where not found by the server since they are all
 inside /webapps/app_name/images

Use JkAutoAlias /.../webapps or just use a standard Apache Alias directive to 
map the Apache location around the webapps directory [Not sure what the 
different between JkAutoAlias and plain Alias - I just use the former]

Note also I had to jkmount /*.do to get struts to work.

Mapping everything to Tomcat? (mod_jk)

2005-07-07 Thread Luis Torres 

Hello Everyone, first post to the list  =)

Lines of httpd.conf:
JkMount /*.jsp loadbalancer
JkMount /servlet/* loadbalancer

Also, servlets never worked using this directives.

To solve this, probably in not the best manner I just passed everything 
to tomcat using (in httpd.conf):

JkMount /* loadbalancer

This worked without a glitch altough I havent done extensive testing.

So the question is... what is the best way to achieve this?? And, How 
bad can things get if I leave it like that. The server is meant to be 
used only as an apps server and not a normal web server so I'm using 
apache strictly as a front end for load balancing and all the things you 
get with mod_jk


Thanks,

Luis
