Apache2, Tomcat 6 and mod_jk

ziggy25 · 09-13-2009, 03:06 PM

Hi all,

I cant figure out what i need to do to configure apache2 to talk to tomcat on my Debian linux environment. I have liferay running on Tomcat which i can access via the following URL

Code:

http://192.168.0.2:8080/web/guest

I am trying to configure Apache2 using mod_jk to allow me to access liferay using something like http://192.168.0.2/liferay but everything i do just returns the following error

Code:

The requested URL /liferay was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_jk/1.2.26 PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch Server at 192.168.0.2 Port 80

Here is my configuration

workers.properties

Code:

workers.java_home=/data/resourceRepository/external/bin/SDK/jdk
ps=/
worker.list=default
worker.default.port=8009
worker.default.host=localhost
worker.default.type=ajp13
worker.default.lbfactor=1

/etc/apache2/sites-available/liferay

Code:

hpmedia:/etc/apache2/sites-available# cat liferay
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        JkMount /liferay default
        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

</VirtualHost>
hpmedia:/etc/apache2/sites-available#

There is a symbolik link in sites-enabled that points to the above file.

changes to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Code:

JkWorkersFile /data/resourceRepository/internal/workarea/liferay/liferay_home/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/conf/workers.properties

JkLogFile /data/resourceRepository/internal/workarea/liferay/liferay_home/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/logs/jk.log

JkLogLevel info

JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y]"

JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories

JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/jk.load

Code:

LoadModule jk_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so

My environment is as follows

Debian 5.2
Java5
Tomcat 6
Liferay 5.2.3
Apache2

Is there anything i am doing wrong in the above configuration?

Thanks in advance.

I just had a look at the error.log file and it contains the following lines

Code:

[Sun Sep 13 20:21:16 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_jk/1.2.26 PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations

it looks like whenever i enter the http://192.168.0.1/liferay it is looking for a file inside an existing virtual host that does work. Does this mean that the second virtual host is not active?

here are my virtual hosts files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /data/resourceRepository/internal/workarea/joomla/bravaonline
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /data/resourceRepository/internal/workarea/joomal/bravaonline/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and the second one which i want to point to the tomcat installation is

Code:

<VirtualHost www.brava1.com>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName www.brava1.com
        ServerAlias brava1.com

        JkMount /lifer* default
        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

</VirtualHost>

i changed it slightly to try and access it using http://www.brava1.com/liferay but i still get the same problem.
