Hello again,

DirectoryIndex as I understand only determines which files are to be loaded by default.
such as if I have index.jsp there I can say www.myDomain.net without having have to say www.myDomain.net/index.jsp

DirectoryRoot seems to be the one I need. However, if I put path to my app there:
DirectoryRoot /home/myLogin/jakarta-tomcat.../webapps/WEB/AAA it does not do the trick.

I guess I am missing somthing out.

So, you've got both DirectoryIndex specified, listing index.jsp AND DocumentRoot pointing to the location of index.jsp? Can you post your current httpd.conf file so we can confirm this?

Peace...

Hello,

If I change DocumentRoot and DocumentIndex it hangs for a little while and then brings 503 Service Temporarily
Unavailable.

I guess I can solve this by putting my app in ROOT, right?

Thanks

Here is httpd.conf.
I took all comments out

Where are the mod_jk options in httpd.conf? Read this and get your mod_jk options setup. Be sure to read the links to the workers.properties documentation too.

Also, change:

Code:

DirectoryIndex /home/my.login/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/WEB/AAA/index.jsp index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.phtml index.php3 index.htm home.html welcome.html

to

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.phtml index.php3 index.htm home.html welcome.html

hello,
very top line says: LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2.so
this is the only line that I had to add during set up

tomdkat · 05-02-2006, 11:53 PM

Ok, in /etc/httpd can you see if there is a "conf.d" directory. I want to see what's in there:

$ ls -l /etc/httpd/conf.d

Please post the output here.

Peace...

Can you post the contents of /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf?

Thanks!

Peace...

thisObject · 05-03-2006, 12:06 AM

sure

Quote:

LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so

#
# When loaded, the mod_proxy_ajp module adds support for
# proxying to an AJP/1.3 backend server (such as Tomcat).
# To proxy to an AJP backend, use the "ajp://" URI scheme;
# Tomcat is configured to listen on port 8009 for AJP requests
# by default.
#

#
# Uncomment the following lines to serve the ROOT webapp
# under the /tomcat/ location, and the jsp-examples webapp
# under the /examples/ location.
#
#ProxyPass /tomcat/ ajp://localhost:8009/
#ProxyPass /examples/ ajp://localhost:8009/jsp-examples/

thanks

tomdkat · 05-03-2006, 12:15 AM

Thanks for posting that. I think you should define the Apache configuration settings for mod_jk, per the doc I linked to above. Then we'll see if that solves this problem.

You can see samples of these settings being set here and here.

Peace...

thisObject · 05-03-2006, 12:16 AM

is it wrong to put my app in ROOT and serve it from there?

thank you

I think that's a different question from what we're working on. We need to get Apache to load the mod_jk2 module and let mod_jk2 contact Tomcat and run the JSP script. If you add the mod_jk settings as described in the doc I linked to above, that should tell Apache how to run mod_jk2 and tell mod_jk2 what it needs to do to run the JSP script.

Peace...

Hi,

I took a look at first link:

1. I have a different include in httpd.conf - LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2.so. I guess it should be fine

2. I have these properites

Quote:

worker.list=ajp12, ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=localhost
worker.ajp13.type=ajp13

they are the same as declared in first link except that worker.list has both ajp12 and ajp13

3. The only entry about ajp in my server.xml file that I have is this:

Quote:

I am not sure if I need to change it to this:

Quote:

as it says in first link you sent.

Thanks.

Be sure to read the documentation and not just look at the examples. You need to understand the settings used in the examples posted.

The first example uses mod_jk and you're using mod_jk2, so your current LoadModule line should be correct, right?

Ok, that's the worker.properties file.

Ok, that looks like it will redirect to a SSL port Tomcat might be listening on. We can deal with that later. Leave that alone for now.

Quote:

Did this already exist in your server.xml file:

Code:

<Connector className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector"
port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
acceptCount="10" debug="0"/>

or did you add that? Keep in mind, you're using Tomcat 5, not 4 so you will have to make sure you're using Tomcat 5 classes, etc.

Now that you have your workers.properties setup, what have you done to your httpd.conf to reference it? Where have you added the other mod_jk2 settings in httpd.conf?

linky.

Peace...

Maaaaaaaaan, this drives me nuts!

I went through installation instructions such as installing, editing httpd.conf, creating properties files and I thought that's it to it but nah, 100 more config steps needed!

And I am still not sure if I should be running Tomcat standalone or not.

Anyhow, I'll go through docs and make some sense of it.

Thanks!

Yep, I know it can really drive you crazy. That's why people tend to advise that people read documentation and get an idea of what they need/want and most importantly get an understanding of what's going on. If you're looking for the path of absolute least resistance, you should have hired a contractor to get it setup for you.

At the start of all this, I asked if you needed an Apache front-end vs running Tomcat standalone. It sounded like some security article you read tipped the scale in favor of an Apache front-end and here we are today. You're the system admin, in this case, so it's within your realm to get all this worked out.

We've been focusing on Apache and Tomcat configuration and none of this is Linux specific. When you used Tomcat on Windows, I'm betting you ran it standalone.

Once you get the mod_jk2 settings in your httpd.conf file, post your httpd.conf file here and we can take a peek at where you're at.

Well, this is a question only you can answer since it's your server and web content that needs to be served.

Peace...
