Tomcat Farm Recommendation

I'm trying to move my Apache Http Server Farm to a Tomcat one and I guess that Tomcat needs more resources than Apache does. Our approach has been always to have many medium size machines than a few big ones, does anybody have any suggestion to the kind of machine + OS needed to get the best

RE: Tomcat 5 + Red Hat Linux. Exception trying to load keystore

You are right, when I look up the services I can see that Tomcat is running using the JVM that you have told me: /usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dcatalina.ext.dirs=/usr/... I changed that from the tomcat5.conf file: # tomcat5 service configuration file # you could also

The Solution

Well, just as a matter of corollary of the soluction everybody was right because even if I had the Sun Jvm installed, the red hat tomcat5 service was getting the JAVA_HOME env entry from the one defined in the file /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5 and not from /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf, so if you changed

Re: Load Balancing Tomcat 5.0.X, hardware or software?

Many Thanks for your comments, I have everything working now using a HW load balancer but the ssl is being managed by every node just because the guys from networks think that we need to upgrade the current HW Load Balancer to be able to support it and that is not going to happen soon. Johann --

I have the same problem than you Werner, everything looks fine but the browser is unable to verify the identity of my site. Firefox says: a) Or the browser doesn't recognize the CA that is supporting the cert. b) Or the cert is uncomplete because of a wrong server configuration. c) Or the site is

Did you replace the JVM for the SUN's? I had many problems using the Red Hat packaged tomcat and without installing tomcat again it worked fine just replacing the JVM. If you look at the following post The Solution maybe It could help you.
