Apache and Tomcat have to be configured to answer to the server name and URL that you enter into your browser.
Typically, something like http://localhost/examples is a default, so it works. However, something like http://my.server.com/myApp does not. If you're using the auto-config option of mod_jk, all you have to do is setup a Host container in server.xml that sets up that host name. Something like: <Host name="me.dyndns.org"> .... <Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig" append="true" forwardAll="false" modJk="/some/path/to/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so" /> <Context path="/myApp" docBase="/some/path/to/myApp"> .... </Context> </Host> Then restart Tomcat, then restart Apache. If you're not using the auto-config option, you'll need to do the same thing as above, but minus the Listener container, and then do something like the following in Apache's httpd.conf: <VirtualHost xxx.dyndns.org> ServerName xxx.dyndns.org # Static files Alias /myApp "/some/path/to/myApp" <Directory "/some/path/to/myApp"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.jsp </Directory> <Location "/myApp/WEB-INF/*"> AllowOverride None deny from all </Location> <Location "/myApp/META-INF/*"> AllowOverride None deny from all </Location> JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /servlet/* ajp13 </VirtualHost> John > -----Original Message----- > From: Todd Paridon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 1:39 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Local/Internet access problem > > > I am still feeling my way through the setup and operation of these > applications so please be gentle and explicit if you could. > > I have tomcat 4.1.18 running with Apache 2.0.43 and > mod_jk2.0.43 running > on Mandrake-Linux 8.2. > > I can run the supplied tomcat examples from within my local network > using the server's local name, but when accessing the server from the > internet all I get is a blank page for those same examples.
