integrating Apache 2 server and Tomcat
Hello,
I have been struggling for the past couple of weeks to redirect
external traffic from the Apache 2 server to Tomcat 5.5 on a godaddy
dedicated server.
We have created a new domain on the server, which default public path
is /home/myadmin/public_html/ when someone points there browser to
www.mydomain.com
At the same time I have uploaded and deployed the application under
usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain/
As I understand at this time web content is served by the apache
server and not Tomcat. What I have been trying to do is to have all
pages static and dynamic be served by Tomcat.
Godaddy offers limited support unless we buy into their assisted
service plan. I followed some steps they initially suggested which
involved creating a symbolic link between the default public directory
/home/myadmin/public_html/ and the application directory
usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain/ by using the command:
ln -s /usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain/index.html
/home/myadmin/public_html
With this I hoped all requests from www.mydomain.com going to
/home/myadmin/public_html would be automatically redirected to the
actual tomcat content starting with the deployed application's
index.html page. But unfortunately this does not work. I am always
returned the 404 error message.
Is there a known or recommended way to resolve this issue? After some
searching I believe there are workarounds involving editing the
/usr/java/tomcat-5.5/conf/server.xml and the etc/httpd/conf/http.conf
files. Would it be possible someone to provide some general steps how
to do this?
Many thanks for any practical help.

That's exactly what you should do, since it's your default webapp.

Don't try to run Tomcat from /within/ httpd, run Tomcat /instead of/ httpd.

Don't start httpd, and configure Tomcat to use port 80, as was pointed out several hours ago:
http://tomcat.markmail.org/search/?q=#query:list%3Aorg.apache.tomcat.users+page:4+mid:ywwaxi3ixytgnt6d+state:results
As stated in that e-mail, search the mailing list archives for comments about GoDaddy; you may find them enlightening (and discouraging).

I decided to try running my tomcat app as ROOT, by deploying it under
usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/ROOT
It might not be the optimal way, but I want to at least first manage
to access this app by www.mydomain.com
However all I get is a 403 forbidden error. It turns out that running
tomcat from within apache is not as simple as I thought. Any ideas? --
godaddy definitely offers no support on customizations like this.
Would there be a quick way to switch off Apache completely and have
Tomcat take all incoming traffic to port 80?
Thanks in advance

This command created a symlink to index.html, not to the entire
directory. You should instead do this:
$ cd /home/myadmin
$ mv public_html public_html.old
$ ln -s /usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/mydomain public_html
This will give you the proper symlink.

Apache httpd is still serving all your files. You need to convince
Apache httpd to forward all your requests to Tomcat. No amount of
symlinking will accomplish this.

You'll need to edit httpd.conf after making a decision: Use HTTP or
HTTPS or AJP for proxying?
If you want Tomcat to serve everything, why not dump httpd altogether?

server-minimal.xml is just an example, and has no effect on anything.

"indicated" by what?
First, look at your Tomcat logs to make sure 1) it did really start,
and that 2) your app initialized successfully as the default context.
Second, don't use a browser; access the port directly to see what
responds -- `telnet www.mydomain.com 80`. If something accepts
the connection, enter
GET / HTTP/1.0
followed by 2 returns, and see what's returned.

-Chuck,
I went ahead with your instructions running the Tomcat app under the
ROOT context. Disabled the http web server (Apache) and edited the
server.xml and server-minimal.xml files under Tomcat.
This time www.mydomain.com gives a "Page Load Error", I believe
because there is no web server listening to port 80. I am not sure if
by switching the web server component of Apache 2, I totally shut down
all web server capability. But Tomcat is indicated as up and running.
I am posting here the server.xml files just in case. Any further
comments perhaps on this?

Well this is how I do it, your mileage will vary.
I use mod_proxy_http with tomcat configured for just a http connector.

I setup a mod_proxy.conf file for the apache and I'll just show how I do

If you want it to be the default webapp, you should deploy it as /usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/ROOT (case sensitive).

Then simply remove the httpd server - there's no point in having it if everything will be handled by Tomcat. Configure the HTTP <Connector> in your Tomcat to listen to port 80 rather than 8080 (or whatever it is now), and comment out the AJP <Connector>. If there are restrictions on what ports you can use based on the privileges of the userid Tomcat is running under, you can start Tomcat with jsvc or have GoDaddy forward port 80 to a viable port that you configure in Tomcat.
BTW, you might want to search the mailing list archives for other people's experiences with GoDaddy...
