I need help setting up the mod_jk2 connector for Tomcat 5 to Apache 2 on a Redhat 9 machine and then configuiring them.

Particulars:
------------
Redhat Linux 9: kernal 2.4
Apache version 2.0.40
Sun Java SDK version 1.4.2_04
jakarta-tomcat version 5.0.19
jakarta-tomcat-connector version jk2-2.0.4

I have a server running Redhat 9, Apache 2.0.40, Sun's JAVA SDK 1.4 is installed JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04 and path is set.

When I run:
$java -version
$ javac -help
from anywhere & or with any user it spews the proper information.

I downloaded the most recent version of tomcat from

_jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi I chose jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19.tar.gz and installed it.

Tested tomcat:

_localhost:8080

and I see the "If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!" page.

At this point the Apache 2 and the Tomcat 5 servers are working independantly with no problem.

I now want to install the connector.

I downloaded jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-src-current.tar.tar

I ran
# tar xvzf jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-src-current.tar.tar

That created a directory called jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src

I ran
# mv jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src /usr/src/

So all the connector stuff is now located at

/usr/src/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-jk2-2.0.4-src


1) Is there any more information you need to answer this question?
2) Now what do I do?


Thanks!

I need to integrate Apache with Tomcat as well. I'm using the same Redhat 9 Tomca5 and JK2. Did you got any workable solution, coz I'm having problem running the make file. The errors stated below:

/bin/cp: cannot stat `../../../build/jk2/apache2/mod_jk2.la': No such file or di
rectory
make[1]: [../../../build/jk2/apache2//usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_jk2.so] Error 1

cat-connectors/jk/native2/server/apache2'
make: *** [jk2-build] Error 1

I still don't have a clue....

you will need to edit the make file so that it will compile, run this:

$apu-config --link-ld --libs

you will find that in you apache installation, this will give you a list of librarys needed to link then need to append this list to this line in The Makefile:

JK_LDFLAGS=-lcrypt ${APR_LIBS} -L${exec_prefix}/lib -lpcre -lpcreposix

and change this line also

LIBTOOL=/bin/sh /var/www/build/libtool --silent

to point to on your system libtool eg.


LIBTOOL=/apache/build/libtool

and it should then work
