- server.xml configures Tomcat.
- mod_jk.conf-auto is created by Tomcat based on your
server.xml configuration and can be included in Apache's
httpd.conf.
or
- My preferred way is to put all of the mod_jk directives in
httpd.conf myself and maintain them manually...no surprises,
but others have luck with the automated method.
- workers.properties is used by mod_jk to figure out how to
connect to Tomcat (IP address, port number, load balancing,
etc.). If everything's on the same machine, the default file
is fine. You can use ajp12 or ajp13 workers by those names
from the default settings.
- uriworkermap.properties is IIS/ISAPI only...I think. No need to
worry about it.
The only other file I've had to mess with is tomcat-users.xml to set
up authentication through Tomcat on one site where a webapp
relied on it. Otherwise, I just stick to Apache's security.
Hope that helps.
