mod_jk 1.2.21, apxs, and apache 2.0.54
Hi All,
been trolling, lurking, searching, on this and other items all week......
long story short, i need the JkUnMount capability from mod_jk - i have
mod_jk 1.2.6 (I need a newer version). so, here we go:
running: apache 2.0.54, tomcat 5 -
i downloaded and unzipped mod_jk 1.2.21 - tried to compile myself.. i
have apxs, but not apxs2... so the compilation produced a mod_jk.so for
apache-1.3 (which won't work for my apache2).. so:
1- can anyone tell me how to work around the apxs / apxs2 thing?
2- i read somewhere that i can get apxs from apache2-devel package
(can't seem to find this anywhere) - if I can't work around it, can I
just get apxs2 and compile this?? can anyone point me to how/where?
3- any other ways to do this?
...loosing hair as we speak - thanks in advance,
mike

tomcat5 auto context detection
Posted by mike spisak <ms...@pb.net>.
Hi All,
I'm trying to get tomcat to auto-recognize that I have new java
applications (e.g. a new WEB-INF) in a sub-directory for my virtual
hosts.. I'd like to make it so that I don't have to edit my server.xml
every time I add a new app within some domain/sub domain... is this
possible?
quickie background:
- Linux Fedora Core 4, apache 2.0.54, tomcat 5, mod_jk running nicely...
- all my domains and sub-domains are in /var/www/vhosts/<domain>
e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example1.com/htdocs/<java stuff> (java
stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc)
e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example2.com/htdocs/<java stuff> (java
stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc)
e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example2.com/sub-domain/cool/htdocs/<java
stuff> (java stuff = jsp files, WEB-INF directory, etc)
(the sub domain example would be: http://cool.example2.com)
....and so on...
I'd like to be able to add a new domain or sub domain, simply drop my
app (associated jsps and WEB-INF stuff) into the appropriate directory
of the new domain or sub domain, restart tomcat and *poof* have it
work....
so my server.xml snippet looks like this:
-- I tried having defaultHost = localhost.. didn't really work, when I
tried sub-domains I got "no host matches server name"
-- My logic behind putting the "appBase" to vhosts, was so that tomcat
could scan everything after that, and thus when it encounters a WEB-INF
it would make it a context.. but not sure how that context would map to
a specific domain... (hence the "deployOnStartup" = true)
-- I added a context for example1.com which works.. but don't want to
have to add one every time...
<Engine name="PSA" defaultHost="example1.com" debug="0">
<Host deployXML="true" name="example1.com" debug="0"
appBase="/var/www/vhosts" unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="true"
liveDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="true">
<!-- added a context, but don't want to.. -->
<Context crossContext="false"
reloadable="false" useNaming="true" debug="0"
swallowOutput="false"
privileged="true" displayName="my app"
docBase="/var/www/vhosts/example1.com/htdocs" cookies="true"
path="" cachingAllowed="true"/>
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm"
debug="0" pathname="my-users/example1.com.xml" validate="true"/>
<Alias>
www.example1.com
</Alias>
</Host>
</Engine>
...also, wondering about cooperation between apache and tomcat...
thanks in advance,
Mike

hi Chris,
thanks for all your information! you've been helpful.. do I trust
you?? ..hhmm.. :-)
anyway, my problem was solved by using the SetEnvIfNoCase directive.
The main reason i needed an updated jk was for the jkUnMount
exclusions.. another post on here pointed me to SetEnvIf - which
allowed me the JK mount exclusions I needed..
So now I have tomcat serving servlets, jsps, etc.. and apache taking
care of statics and php's.. awesome!
Also, FYI- I stumbled on this link-->
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ModJk --which had some great ways to
get mod_jk compiled.. in addition to the fast path, it talked about
using commands like "up2date -i httpd-devel" to get the latest apxs..
and such..
..its a really good read.. so keep that link in your toolbox. thanks
again,
mike

Well, it depends on how you have to install the server itself. If you
have to do something weird within your plesk environment, then you might
just end up with a broken 2.0.58 environment (in which case, I can give
you a binary, but can you really trust me? ;)
On the other hand, if you just download the source package and compile
and install it "as usual", then you should end up with a proper copy of
apxs and you'll be able to build mod_jk no problem.

Unfort, I searched the system and found no other apache there.. I'm
guessing the apxs is 1.3 since the mod_jk "./configure
--with-apxs=<path>" thought it was - and then compiled the mod_jk for
apache-1.3.. I tried a few other command switches which didn't work
(e.g. --with-apxs2=<path to apxs>) oh well...
Yes, I *am* the sys admin ;-) ...but, I didn't install/provision the
box.. I agree with you, the config just doesn't appear to be correct.
...I've spun on this long enough.. how easy is the apache upgrade to
2.0.58? ..i may want to take you up on the binary offer..
--thanks,
Mike

Right: you /must/ compile mod_jk to match your Apache version.

Perhaps, but probably not. I don't know anything about plesk, so let's
hope it doesn't matter ;)
>> ..anything else you can suggest? ..much thanks in advance,
You mentioned apache-1.3... do you have that installed in parallel? Is
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/apxs actually the 1.3 version of apxs?
You might want to ask your system administrator about the 2.0 install.
If you are the sys admin, you might want to file a support request with
your VM operator, 'cause it looks like things are not set up in a sane way.
If you upgrade to 2.0.58, use the same compiler as me, and are working
on I32 hardware, I can give you my binary ;)

That's what i figured too.. i did not install apache2 myself, it came on
a virtual dedicated server that i purchased from a provider i need not
mention.. so, when i do "/usr/sbin/httpd -v" - i get: "Server
version: Apache/2.0.54" -- when i do a "find / -name apxs" - i get:
"/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/apxs" --but I know this won't work, as I've
tried to compile and use the apache-1.3 generated mod_jk.so file with

Hmm... if you have Apache2 installed, you ought to have apxs2 somewhere.
Did you install Apache httpd yourself? If so, look at how you did the
installation. If you used a package for your OS, then it might be in a
"standard" location.
For instance, I use Gentoo Linux and installed Apache2 using their
package manager. apxs2 gets installed in /usr/sbin/apxs2, but it's not
in the PATH for my lowly "chris" user on my server. So, I have to
specify the full path myself (i.e. "./configure
- --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs2").

Try searching for it... if it's not there, your Apache installation is
broken. Try something like:
$ find /usr -name apxs2 -print
