Integration with httpd

[John <li...@johndubchak.com>]

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed Geronimo 2.1.1 on linux running in a Java6 
JVM.  I have set up some virtual hosts and managed to deploy and run a 
couple of applications (deployed as WARs) running inside Geronimo on one 
of our test machines.  The tricky thing was creating the correct 
mod_rewrite rules running in a virtual hosting environment.

However, when I create the configuration (same JVM, same version of 
geronimo) and the exact same workers.properties file configuration along 
with the correct mod_rewrites, in our production environment, I get a 
404 when trying to access a basic URL.  I see that the URL is properly 
translated according to the rewrite rules, however, the page cannot be 
found.

I followed the configuration examples at:

http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/configure-apache-httpd-with-jakarta-tomcat-connector-modjk.html

Here is a snippet of my httpd.conf:

JkMount /appName/* default

Here is my workers.properties:

workers.java_home=/esa/java/jdk-1.6.0_04
ps=/
worker.list=default
worker.default.type=ajp13
worker.default.host=localhost
worker.default.port=8009

I have not altered the default geronimo installation configuration 
beyond just unzipping the tar file.

The applications deploy and start correctly, however, I cannot access 
them by their URL and I am interested in any help that might get me past 
this...

Thanks,
John

Hi Kevan,

Thanks for the response.  There is no difference in the network config, 
both Geronimo and Apache httpd run on the same machine and localhost is 
resolvable.  Also, I am able to access Geronimo directly using a URL 
like: http://localhost:8080/console.

It's confusing, for sure.

John

I'm not very a very good resource for httpd integration. Is the  
network configuration different for your production environment? Is  
httpd running on the same machine as Geronimo? If so, does 'localhost'  
resolve properly? Can you access Geronimo directly (bypassing httpd)?
