Hi All,
I have what I hope will be a simple question. I have 2 Win 2K boxes. One running Tomcat and the other Apache.
How do I deploy a web app on the Tomcat server and configure it to talk to the Apache web server on a completely separate box.
Do I need to configure both ends? Does it make sense to split the boxes this way just to have Apache server static files?
Here's a copy of information from the list a while back. I would post the url to the archived message, but I don't have that at the moment. Attribution of this solution goes to the original poster, not myself...
Here it goes.................
Machine A (Apache), Machine B (tomcat) ---------------------------------------------
httpd.conf changes... --------------------- Below # LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
Add following lines # # Load mod_jk # LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so # # Configure mod_jk # JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel debug
Below DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"
Add following lines...
JkMount /examples ajp13 JkMount /examples/* ajp13
(if you want to configure a application examples running under webapps on tomcat, just specify /examples, you need not sepcify the full path of the application)
Then create workers.properties under $Apache_Home$/conf/ like this
# In Unix, we use forward slashes: ps=/
# list the workers by name worker.list=ajp13
# worker.ajp13.port=8009(ajp13 port from server.xml on tomcat machine) worker.ajp13.host=hostname(Machine B) worker.ajp13.type=ajp13
(no need to define tomcat_home and java_home parameters here, you define them on catalina.sh on tomcat machine)
this is all you need to do on apache machine.......
server.xml changes on Machine B(tomcat machine) ------------------------------------------------------
Set the required environment variables JAVA_HOME AND CATALINA_HOME in $TOMCAT_HOME$/bin/catalina.sh
Commen out the Standalone HTTP port(port 8080) Connector.
<!--
<Connector
className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/>
-->Also Comment out the WARP connector
<Service name="Tomcat-Apache">
<!--
<Connector
className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector"
port="8008" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" appBase="webapps"
acceptCount="10" debug="0"/>
-->
Change the both the <Engine> Tag and <Host> tag defaultHost to tomcat hostName(ex: tomcat.apache.com) (This should match with your workers.properties host name.)
<Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="tomcat.apache.com" debug="0"> <Host name="tomcat.apache.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"> </Host> </Engine>
start tomcat and apache, you should be able to access examples from apache machine....
I have pretty much followed the http://www.ubeans.com/tomcat/ documentation......many many thanks to Pascal Forget.
Let me know, how it goes...............
