I've been wrestling the past week with the hassles of upgrading to
Apache-2.0.54-r31 on my Gentoo system. I think I've finally got
everything working the way it's supposed to except mod_jk for my user
directories. I tried to do the userdir thing you suggested, but I
couldn't get it to work. Right now I use symlinks to my individual
users' website directories, but now that I've discovered Alias I'll
probably switch completely to using Aliases. I created a test Alias
point to the ~/webspace/webapps directory in my personal account, but I
can't seem to JkMount it, and I can't figure out why. Here is the
mod_jk portion of my httpd.conf file:
#mod_jk stuff
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkMount /*.jsp wrkr
JkMount /servlet/* wrkr
# Deny direct access to WEB-INF
<LocationMatch ".*WEB-INF.*">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</LocationMatch>
Alias /michael /home/michael/webspace/webapps
<Directory /home/michael/webspace/webapps>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
I don't know if I need that <LocationMatch> stuff - It was part of a
<VirtualHost> block that seemed to be unecessary, so I took it out. I
tried putting my JkMount statements inside the <Directory> block, but
when I tried to restart Apache it gave me the following error:
JkMount can not have a path when defined in a location
In /home/michael/webspace/webapps there is a file called colors.jsp.
When I navigate my browser to www.espersunited.com/michael/colors.jsp I
get the Tomcat 404 error, yet when I navigate to
www.espersunited.com/index.jsp I get the Tomcat start page. What am I
doing wrong?
