Integrate Apache 1.3.14 & Tomcat 4.03 ??

Anon

Hello, could someone help me out with getting Apache server 1.3.14 to integrate with Apache-Tomcat 4.03 on Win XP? The install notes on Apache.org are pathetic. I can get Tomcat to run as standalone and it serves .JSP's no probs. I would like to integrate it into with Apache for speed and its robustness. I know for Tomcat 3.x you needed a module .dll file and that a .conf file was generated...which you include in your apache.conf file... this does not occur with Tomcat 4.x however. Therefore I have no idea how to get the two of them to play nicely together...any input or stupidly simple instructions would benefit me greatly.

I wish to write a tutorial with pics and info if I can get this to work...I am willing to give credit too to anyone who contributes to getting this to fly. Thanks in advance, you can respond to the group but I would appreciate an email response more.

Hey I will answer myself and post a pretty kick ass link to a tutorial on my subject... (minus pictures of course but thats ok).

Here is the link http://www.webmasterbase.com/article/305/19

I know this is a PHP forum, and I love PHP versus JSP but clients sometimes want alternatives...This article will give you the insight you need to pull the install off, and save your hair. Enjoy!

this stupid mod_webapp.so module doesn't work properly. After some more or less unsuccessfull attempts I've given up and switched to the mod_jk.dll module, which establishes the connection between tomcat 4.01 and apache 1.3.23 on my pc. works great. I didn't even have to compile the module, since it was precompiled, part of my apache 1.3.23 download, at that time I didn't even know what this module is. the lines in my httpd.conf go like this:
<IfDefine JSP>

#Listen 81
#Listen 85
#BindAddress *

LoadModule webapp_module modules/mod_webapp.so
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.dll

JkWorkersFile conf/jk/workers.properties
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel warn
#also " info " is possible
JkMount /.jsp ajp13
JkMount /root/ ajp13
JkMount /mytomcat/ ajp13
#JkMount /MYTomCat/.jsp remoteworker

First Virtual Host.

#<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:85>
#DocumentRoot C:/Programme/Server/Apache1323/public/tomcat
#<Directory "C:/Programme/Server/Apache1323/public/tomcat">

Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

#</Directory>

#ServerName localhost
#JkMount /.jsp ajp13
#JkMount /root/ ajp13

#</VirtualHost>

#WebAppConnection connection warp localhost:8008
#WebAppDeploy manager connection /manager
#WebAppDeploy examples connection /examples
#WebAppInfo /webapp-info

</IfDefine>
by commenting and uncommenting lines I can switch betwen modules, define a virtual directory etc. also the mod_jk.dll can be used for modssl:
<IfDefine MODSSL>

Listen 81
Listen 443
BindAddress *

LoadModule ssl_module C:/programme/server/apache1323/modules/mod_ssl.so
#AddModule mod_ssl.c

SSLMutex sem
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLSessionCache none
SSLLog logs/SSL.log
SSLLogLevel warn

DocumentRoot C:/programme/server/apache1323/ssl
AccessFileName htaccess
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.htm index.cgi index.pl index.asp index.jsp

<Directory "C:/programme/server/apache1323/ssl">
Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes

This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",

"Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".

Note that "MultiViews" must be named explicitly --- "Options All"

doesn't give it to you.

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can

"AuthConfig", and "Limit"

small correction/addition:
tomcat doesn't serve html files. if you want Tomcat to serve html files too, add this (change the appropriate paths):

JkMount /mytomcat/* ajp13
Alias /mytomcat "C:/Programme/Server/tomcat/webapps/root/mytomcat"
<Directory "C:/Programme/Server/tomcat/webapps/root/mytomcat">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

JkMount /examples/*.jsp ajp13
Alias /examples "C:/Programme/Server/tomcat/webapps/examples"
<Directory "C:/Programme/Server/tomcat/webapps/examples">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

From ApacheLabs site.

I finally got virtual hosting working with Apache and TC4.0, woo hoo!

The relevant sections from httpd.conf and server.xml are below. The
only downside with this configuration is that I haven't been able to
mount webapps in the root context specified by DocumentRoot. Instead I
had to create a subdirectory 'site' and put the servlets and JSPs in
that. Is there any way to mount the root context?

-August

httpd.conf -------------------------------------------------

NameVirtualHost 231.232.123.213

create the webapp connection

WebAppConnection conn warp localhost:8008
WebAppInfo /webapp-info

<VirtualHost 231.232.123.213>
ServerName www.host1.com
DocumentRoot "/home/host1/www"

#depl0y webapps for this site
WebAppDeploy     site      conn  /

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 231.232.123.213>
ServerName www.host2.com
DocumentRoot "/home/host2/www"

#depl0y webapps for this site
WebAppDeploy     site      conn  /

</VirtualHost>

server.xml --------------------------------------------

<Service name="Tomcat-Apache">

hmm, do you want to have webapps as the root of your virtual server? then change server.xml of tomcat:

and in httpd.conf in the virtual directory section define DocumentRoot (either to tomcat webapps directory, or to a folder in your apache directory, which should be handled by tomcat, i.e., it will be redirected to tomcat, so if it is "site", as in your example, and you create a apache/site directory, then going to this directory will automatically bring you to the tomcat root directory, namely, (as specified above) webapps or whatever. better, however, let the root directory be webapps\root. otherwise all the examples supplied with the tomcat server won't work, if you change the root directory

btw, to mount the servlets, you have to specify the /examples/servlet/ in httpd.conf, so

JkMount /examples/servlet/* ajp13 with the mod_jk module or i guess with your module it would be
WebAppDeploy servlet connection /examples/servlet or something like that

Thanks guys for your input, I will try your suggestions out. Its nice to see the support in the forum...

Thanks again,
