tomcat beta + apache + mod_jserv + mysql + JDBC

[Kal Lin <ka...@cs.toronto.edu>]

Here is a little script I use to install the above components.
Your mileage WILL vary but it might help some people get started.

Cheers,

#/bin/sh

# Prerequisites:
# RedHat 6.1
# IBM JDK 1.1.8
#

#
# This will install apache, tomcat, mod_jserv, mysql, JDBC
# into the home directory of the user and run apache on port
# 8000 and tomcat on 8080.   See the end for instructions on
# adding a context.
#

#
# set this to wherever you have downloaded all the following files
#
TARBALLS=/u/tarballs/jakarta

# apache_1.3.12.tar.gz         (ftp://ftp.apache.org/dist)
# jakarta-tomcat.tar.gz        (http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1_beta_1/bin)
# mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c.tar.gz    (http://www.worldserver.com/mm.mysql/)
# mysql-3.22.32.tar.gz         (http://www.mysql.org/download_3.22.html)
# mod_jserv.so                 (http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1_beta_1/bin/linux/i386/)

# http://localhost:8000/examples/     the tomcat examples via apache
#
# To add a context XX:
# 1) put the files under jakarta-tomcat/webapps/XX
# 2) edit the file jakarta-tomcat/conf/server.xml 
#    before </ContextManager> line at the end add the lines
#
#       <Context path="/XX" docBase="webapps/XX" debug="0" reloadable="true" > 
#       </Context>
#
# 3) restart tomcat: bin/shutdown.sh  bin/startup.sh
# 4) restart apache: apachectl restart
#
# Note: the httpd.conf file in apache/conf includes the file 
# jakarta-tomcat/conf/tomcat-apache.conf which is generated
# by tomcat when it is restarted.  When you restart apache
# the new context XX will be properly aliased in apache.
