RE: Apache and Tomcat on different boxes

[Swart, James (Jim) ** CTR **]

if they are both *nix* machines you can use NFS to mount each other remotely
to access the conf files needed, no?

The idea seems great. But how would you access the worker.properties file on
the remote machine. Or is it that, as suggested, you would be "creating" a
worker.properties file in the conf/worker.properties

Did the idea work for you ? Let me know. Thanks.

Thks for replying,

                   So if i understand you correctly, i have to create 
a "workers.properties" file in my apache conf dir and have mod_jk look for
it 
there?

eg.
httpd.conf contains 

LoadModule    jk_module  libexec/mod_jk.so
AddModule     mod_jk.c

JkMount /someurl remotetomcat

and 

workers.properties file in apache/conf contains:

worker.remotetomcat.type=ajp13
worker.remotetomcat.port=8009
worker.remotetomcat.host=www.x.com
worker.remotetomcat.cachesize=30

           Is that all i have to do?

Thks a Million,
Paul
