I've finally managed to get apache/tomcat running successfully on a redhat
7.1 box (with stock kernel). Since I've seen several posts asking about this
so I'll post a quick how-to.
Install Sun's JavaTM 2 Standard Edition, 1.3.1 RC2
from: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html
Install tomcat (I used Jakarta-Tomcat 3.2.1)
Setup your classpaths, and environment in /etc/profile
Here's mine:
#Java Environment
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
export JAVA_HOME
#Tomcat Environment
TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
export TOMCAT_HOME
#Set Classpaths for java servlets
CLASSPATH=$TOMCAT_HOME/lib/servlet.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/:$TOMCAT_HOME/lib:$TOMCAT_HOME/classes:.
export CLASSPATH
Create a directory named classes in your $TOMCAT_HOME directory
Copy $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar to $TOMCAT_HOME/classes
Change to the $TOMCAT_HOME/classes directory
Expand with the command "jar xvf tools.jar"
Make sure you've added $TOMCAT_HOME/classes to you classpath as I did above
You should be able to start tomcat as a stand alone server at this point by
running the startup.sh script in $TOMCAT_HOME/bin
Test the server by connecting to http://localhost:8080
Shutdown tomcat using the $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh script
If all works well all that remains is to integrate apache and tomcat
( if not figure out whats wrong with these directions ;-0 )
Shutdown Apache
Follow the instructions at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/mod_jk-howto.html
The only place I deviated from the instructions was:
Move the original $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf to
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf-orig as a backup
Copy $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf -auto to $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf
Change the line --> LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
to read --> LoadModule jk_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_jk.so ( or wherever you
put it!)
Add the following to your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
###############################################################
# #
# Tomcat support #
###############################################################
Include /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/conf/mod_jk.conf
I also changed /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd to start tomcat as well. Here's my
script:
#!/bin/bash

esac
exit $RETVAL
Restart your new integrated apache/tomcat server with /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
start
Test your new server with your browser by accessing http://localhost/examples
and running some of the jsp scripts and servlets.
Sorry for the long post, but hope it's helpful (and hope I remembered
everything).
