tomcat configuration

Configuring Tomcat with mod_proxy  mod_proxy configuration is the simplest way to integrate Apache tomcat with Apache server. In order to do that,we need to add the module and redirect the URL to a virtual host. Open the httpd.conf : 1. Place the following lines of code after the other LoadModule directives: LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so 2. Place the following lines of code with your other VirtualHost, or at the bottom of the file: NameVirtualHost * < VirtualHost * > ServerName abc.com ProxyRequests Off < Proxy * > Order deny,allow Allow from all </ Proxy > ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ < Location /> Order allow,deny Allow from all </ Location > </ VirtualHost > Save the configuration file and restart Apache Web server in order to test the integration using mod_proxy. [root@localhost bin]# ./apachectl stop [r...

mod_jk is a replacement to the elderly mod_jserv. It is a plug-in that handles the communication between Tomcat and Apache. In this tutorial, we assume that a stable Apache Web Server 2.X has been installed on your host. The next step in the checklist is downloading the latest stable release of Tomcat mod_jk, available at http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/ Once downloaded, the module mod_jk.so should be copied in your Apache module directory (usually located in the APACHE_ROOT/modules directory). Check your Apache documentation if you cannot locate it. Windows users are encouraged to rename the binary file to mod_jk.dll if the downloaded Windows module bears the .so extension. This way you will not confuse this library with a compiled library for Unix. The configuration of mod_jk can be included into the Apache httpd.conf file or held in an external file, which is a good practice: # Load mod_jk module LoadModule jk_module modulesc/mod_jk.so #...
