Integration with Apache
Hi
New to the list here :)
I have a server setup as follows:
Apache -> mod_jk2 -> tomcat
There are a number of webapps served by tomcat:
/ROOT -> available on http://www.mydomainname.com/
/webapp2 ->available on http://www.mydomainname.com/webapp2
/webapp3 -> available on http://www.mydomainame.com/webapp3
Now this all works fine, but now I need to add a php forum site onto the
server on the same domain name and have it served on
http://www.mydomainname.com/forum
Trouble is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to configure this
without moving my /ROOT webapp off the URL http://www.mydomainname.com/ and
into a subdirectory.
Can anyone confirm whether what I want to do is at all possible, and if so
give any pointers as to where i need to be looking to configure it?
Thanks
Ed

Ahh, I realise now that JkMount is only available using mod_jk ...
I really would like to keep mod_jk2, is there any way of configuring mod_jk2
as i described in my earlier posting?

You'll do fine ;)

It looks like mod_jk2 uses directives in workers2.properties like this:
[uri:/examples/*]
In mod_jk, this would be:
JkMount /examples/* worker1
If you were using 'worker1' as the configured worker.
Look for [uri:] lines in your workers2.properties file and post them.
I'm guessing it's something like [uri:/*]. You probably want something
like this:
[uri:/yourapp/*.jsp]
[uri:/yourapp/*/j_security_check] (if you're using container auth)
[uri:/yourapp/servlet/*] (if you're using the 'default' servlet)
[uri:/yourapp/*.do] (if you're using struts)
You may need to map other things individually if you are having Tomcat
serve things like static content. If you are using Apache httpd, I'd
recommend having Apache httpd serve that static content for you.

As you've discovered, JkMount is appropriate only for mod_jk. I would
highly recommend upgrading to mod_jk... it's not hard, and if your
configuration is as simple as it sounds (send all requests to Tomcat),
migration should be fairly easy. I'd be glad to help.

Thanks for the reply Chris.
Should add that I'm coming at this not as the person who set it up, also
configuring this is not my area of expertise (if you hadn't noticed!).
within the httpd.conf and workers2.properties there are no references to
JkMount, which i guess may be the issue, am i right in assuming that apache
will be passing everything to tomcat?
I've done some digging but i'm not all that clear on how or where JkMount
should be fitted in to the config, can anyone give any pointers?
cheers

Stop right there. Delete mod_jk2. Forget it ever existed (everyone else
has). Install mod_jk. Okay, now go:

Why? Just don't map /forum/*.php to mod_jk. What do your JkMount
directives look like?

I have all kinds of things happening with Apache httpd -> mod_jk ->
Tomcat. You can map anything you want. Static content served by Apache
httpd while dynamic stuff comes from TC? Of course. Multiple TC
instances within the same URL space? Done. Some TC, some PHP, some CGI?
Why not? It's all easy.
