Dave, I have to agree with John. I spent a great deal of time helping on that debacle as well...it is really sad to hear that you lost everything as a result of a corrupt file system...(:<)
You have to know what you want to achieve before I would be willing to lend more assistance. How will you get there if you don't know where you are going? Apache...Tomcat...port 80...port 8080...meta-redirects...body onload handlers...this is way more complex than it needs to be. I think John's idea of running tomcat as root and changing the http connector listen port from 8080 to 80 is the simplest idea. Why you would use apache just to redirect from port 80 to 8080 is beyond me. Your situation is exactly what Craig McClanahan was referring to recently when he made a valid case for using tomcat in a standalone environment. -Mike Schulz -----Original Message----- From: Turner, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 12:43 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: problems with paths using mod_jk 1.2 Whoa, I think you've got some things mixed up. If you want to use mod_jk, then requests NEVER go to 8080. That's the whole point of a connector. It connects Apache to Tomcat so that requests are served on port 80, not port 8080. I hesitate to get involved, because we went around and around in circles the last time you had a problem, so I will try and sum things up as clearly as I can: - if you are getting some error message from a Turbine servlet, then fix that error...don't go grabbing at straws - if you want your app served on port 8080, don't use Apache at all...use Tomcat in stand-alone mode - if you want your app served on port 80, and don't mind running Tomcat as root (some people do mind this) then change server.xml to listen on port 80 and be done with it - if you want your app served on port 80 with Apache, then setup Apache with mod_jk. There are NUMEROUS docs on this available, most of them fairly good, including the docs from the Tomcat site. - if you use Apache + mod_jk + Tomcat you DON'T need a refresh in index.html to redirect to 8080...that just makes Apache and mod_jk completely irrelevant - you didn't post your server.xml in any case, but my guess is that whatever you are trying to do (I'm not exactly sure why you are following the path you are following) isn't working because your hostnames look pretty goofy...you're telling Apache to listen on port 8080 (VirtualHost IP:8080) but then you want to run Tomcat on port 8080, but then you want to serve content on port 80 with a redirect to 8080 etc. etc. etc. etc. Too crazy to even begin sorting it out, to be honest. My advice: Either 1) get Apache working on port 80 serving a single static page, then post back here and explain EXACTLY where you want to go from there so that people can help, or 2) stop trying to use Apache, use Tomcat in stand-alone mode and post back here and explain EXACTLY what the error message that you get from your Turbine servlet is. I don't mean to sound critical, but you've really got things munged up. I know you are desperate, I know your site is down, but you aren't making it any better. Slow down, keep it simple, and take things one step at a time. Follow any of the Apache + mod_jk + Tomcat HOWTOs available...none of them say anything about setting things up the way you've got them set up. Don't wing it, you'll only spin your wheels as a result.
