Connector fans,
I'm currently running Apache 2.x and Tomcat 4.24 (no ssl) on Windows 2000 on a
Government intranet web server. This will be placed on the public internet and use
full-time ssl for connections outside the firewall. Only port 443 will be available
from outside the firewall. Inside the firewall, users can communicate without ssl.
The system uses mod_perl scripts, Java servlets and six static pages. I'm trying to
evaluate if it is better to use one Apache that listens on two ports or use two
Apaches with two config files. I'd like to avoid having to maintain two sets of
directories on the server, if possible, but I haven't used Windows 2000's symbolic
links (junctions) before. Because of the limited info on junctions, I'm leery of
using them. In my code, I'm already setup to handle multiple server names and ports,
but having to use different directory names or cgi file names might be a problem.
I figure I need to run Apache twice with separate config files that alias the same
directories. I also figure I need to convert the static pages to jsp files so I can
put the correct port and protocol on links at run time. On the Tomcat side I'll need
two connectors to communicate with the two mod_jk that will be running. I'd also need
two entries in the workers.properties file to mate them up. I don't think I should
need to use ssl for Apache to talk to Tomcat but I'm not sure.
Am I on the right track, or am I going to get sharing violations and other problems?
Below is a summary of what I think I need:
Tomcat direct port 8080.
Apache 1 port 80 Tomcat connector port 8009
Apache 2 port 443 Tomcat connector port 8010
Thanks for any inputs you can give me.
Chuck
