Subject: RE: Virtual Hosts
Sorry, I would love to try and help, but I don't use JK2, so anything I
suggested would be a wild guess and more likely to waste your time then
solve anything. Not doubting you, but I would be very surprised if this
was
a problem/bug with Tomcat...I am sure there are people out there with
working multi-Host/multi-Context configurations. I know my 4.1.18 test
server (Solaris) has two Hosts configured with 2 hosts in each, but that
uses JK.
Have you looked in bugzilla to see if anyone else has reported this?

Subject: Re: Virtual Hosts
Hi Chris, I am afraid we have two seperate issues. It seems like I solved
your issues a few days ago and have a few new ones to work out. If you
need
any more help, send me a message directly and I will see how I can help.
However, it seems so far that the answers you have already got will work.
My issue is a little different, I have 3 virtual hosts and 3 different
web-apps defined under httpd.conf, and I have 3 different <Host> and
<Context> tags in server.xml. The JSP pages ONLY work with the last
web-app
defined. What I mean by 'works' is that the JSP pages get compiled into
servlets, and then get served correctly by performing the business logic.
Any other web-apps defined in the httpd.conf file do not work. What I
mean
by they 'do not work' is that the JSP pages do not get compiled into
servlets, and do not execuet the business logic. Instead the JSP code
shows
up clear as day as if you were opening a text file. This is a major
security problem, and I thought it was fixed.
I've posted this issue at least on 3 different occasions now with no
answers
from anyone. It could be because this issue only happens on a Windows
platform? I guess my next step is to test out this problem on Red Hat
8.0
Linux. If I can duplicate the same problem on that platform, I bet it
will
expedite a fix. Of course, if this isn't a bug in Tomcat, then I'd expect
someone would point out that my configuration is wrong ... but that hasn't
happened yet.
Thanks.
Tom

/unusual disclaimer
SCENARIO
RedHat Linux 7.2
Latest 1.4.x Sun JDK:
#java -version
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
Tomcat 4.1.12 binary
Apache 2.0.43 built from source
[./configure -prefix=/usr/local/apache2.0.43 --sysconfdir=/etc/apache
--localstatedir=/var --disable-dav --enable-so --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect
--enable-proxy-http]
jk2 connector binary from jakarta.apache.org
REQUIREMENTS
Deploy three (in my case) web applications under three different virtual hosts, making
the default vhost
respond to any name and to the bare IP address.
GETTING STARTED
Download all the packages listed above, get a mug of hot coffee (or beer if you're
German),
do what I say here and you'll be just fine.
INSTALLING JDK
Note: download the jdk, not just the jre!
Uncompress the jdk somewhere in the filesystem:
I chose /usr/local/:
[root@ARLIN72AGE279 apache]# ll /usr/local/
total 48
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 18 17:20 apache -> apache2.0.43/
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Oct 21 16:40 apache2.0.43
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 1996 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 1996 doc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 1996 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 1996 games
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 2001 include
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Oct 18 16:37 j2sdk1.4.1_01
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 18 16:38 java -> j2sdk1.4.1_01/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 1996 lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 2001 libexec
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 1996 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 18 13:07 share
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 1996 src
make a symlink named java to j2sdk1.4.1_01/ so that you can easily switch back and
forth
between different jvms. We will use the same trick for apache and tomcat afterwards.
Now tell your bash shell where to find java binaries: create a file named java.sh in
/etc/profile.d with the following content:
[root@ARLIN72AGE279 apache]# cat /etc/profile.d/java.sh
# set java environment
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib
#EOF
do a chmod:
#chmod 700 /etc/profile.d/java.sh
Now open a new shell and try this:
[root@ARLIN72AGE279 apache]# which java
/usr/local/java/bin/java
You should get the answer given above. If not chek your environment and make sure that
java.sh is executed
when opening a new shell.
Try to run a java program or the following: java -version.
If you don't like this way of installing java please ignore it.
Make sure everything is ok and then jump to next step.
INSTALLING APACHE
Download the latest release, uncompress it, cd into the newly created directory and
run the following:
[root@ARLIN72AGE279 apache]# ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/apache2.0.43
--sysconfdir=/etc/apache --localstatedir=/var --disable-dav --enable-so
Of course you can customize the installation specifying other modules to enable or
whatever you like.
Just don't forget to ENABLE-SO, because that's what you need to load the apache-tomcat
connector.
Run make and make install. Create the log directories and others (you can skip this if
you know how
to configure where apache puts its log files -> edit httpd.conf):
#mkdir /var/logs
#mkdir /usr/local/apache2.0.43/conf
#mkdir /usr/local/apache2.0.43/logs
Create the symlink /usr/local/apache to /usr/local/apache2.0.43 and test your
installation
by executing:
#/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Open a browser and point it to the linux box: you should get a page telling you that
the apache installation
was successful.
If not check the logs and troubleshoot: common errors in this configuration
are that some directory holding log or configuration files is missing.
INSTALLING TOMCAT
Uncompress the tomcat binaries in a directory of your choice. In this howto we will
use /opt.
Create a symlink named jakarta to the newly created directory so that you have
something like the following:
[root@ARLIN72AGE279 root]# ll /opt/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Oct 18 16:38 jakarta ->
jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Oct 18 18:10 jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14
Start tomcat by running /opt/jakarta/bin/startup.sh. After a few seconds point your
browser at the IP of
the linux box on port 8080 and you should see the tomcat welcome page.
If not check the catalina.out log file in /opt/jakarta/logs and fis all errors until
Tomcat comes up.
CONFIGURING TOMCAT TO LISTEN TO APACHE ajp13 REQUESTS
Here is a sample server.xml file. Please note that the location of directories and log
files is absolutely
arbitrary and you have to edit it to make it suit your needs.

-------/Server.xmL------
This is a very minimalistic conf file, because we have taken away the HTTP1.1
connector that allows us to talk directly to Tomcat.
It might not be good for development, but it should be good for production.
If you feel like you need also the Tomcat Standalone service then copy and paste it
from your original server.xml file
(you did back it up, didn't you?).
Try to start tomcat again and check catalina.out to see if everything is up and
running. If it complains about
missing apr stuff try to edit /opt/jakarta/conf/jk2.properties and make it look so:
# list of needed handlers.
handler.list=channelSocket,request
# Override the default port for the channelSocket
channelSocket.port=8009
If everything is ok move on to next section.
CONFIGURING APACHE VIRTUAL HOSTING
rtfm: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/
In the appendix you can find the httpd.conf file I used to write and test this HOWTO.
CONFIGURING APACHE TO TALK TO TOMCAT
Download the jk2 shared library for you version of apache and copy it in
/usr/local/apache/modules
(create the directory if necessary). If you can't find a suitable version of jk2 ask
it to the tomcat-user ml
or download the source and build it yourself (this is another HOWTO).
Create, if you haven't already, the /usr/local/apache/conf directory and create a file
named
workers2.properties with this content in it:
----Content-----
# only at beginnin. In production uncomment it out
[logger.apache2]
level=DEBUG
[shm]
file=/usr/local/apache/logs/shm.file
size=1048576
# Example socket channel, override port and host.
[channel.socket:localhost:8009]
port=8009
host=127.0.0.1
# define the worker
[ajp13:localhost:8009]
channel=channel.socket:localhost:8009
# Uri mapping
[uri:10.0.0.10/*.jsp]
worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
[uri:www.home.net/*.jsp]
worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
[uri:www.customer1.it/*.jsp]
worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
[uri:www.customer2.net/*.jsp]
worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
----/Content-----
Edit the file, change ip addresses and names to suit your needs and save it.
Edit http.conf and add the following line in the Modules section:
LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2.so
Save http.conf and try to start apache. It should now load the jk2 connector and the
configuration
from workers2.properties.
Check the error log to make sure everything is ok.
Start tomcat and try to load a HTML page in your browser: apache should return the
page
without problems.
Now try with a jsp page: it should display after a little.
If you get errors check that the path and host names (double check also the
configuration of DNS
with your network administrator) are ok, the directories are readable by both Tomcat
and Apache.
Again look into the log files.
If everything works go to next section.
THE LAST TRICK
Now ask your network administrator to set up an alias for your brand new server (use
jspsrc if
you like to stick to this howto).
If you don't have easy access to dns try to edit your hosts file (on the client where
you open the browser)
and add a line as follows:
10.0.0.10 jspsrc
where 10.0.0.10 is the ip of your server. Open your browser and type this in your
location bar:
http://jspsrc
and navigate to a jsp page. You should get the source of the jsp page into your
browser!
This is clearly a security problem, if not a major annoyance.
What's wrong with the setup we came up so far? The problem is (or should be) that the
ajp13
connector can't find a virtual host that matches the jspsrc uri.
What we need to do is set up the default virtual host so that ALL *.jsp requests get
handled by tomcat.
How do we do it?
JK DIRECTIVES IN HTTPD.CONF
In addition to the workers2.properties you can put Jk diretives directly into the
httpd.conf file (just as you did
with jk and webapp).
Edit the default virtual host section in httpd.conf and add the following lines in the
end, before
</VirtualHost>:
<Location "/*.jsp">
JkUriSet worker ajp13:localhost:8009
</Location>
Restart Apache and test the jspsrc url again.
The jsp source should not be displayed anymore.
NOTES
I think a better approach would be to remove all uri directives from
workers2.properties
and to put them in http.conf as we did in the previous section for the defualt virtual
host.
Experiment and let me know.
