Please help: Setting up an environment with Apache as webserver and JBoss as the application server

[Smithan John <sm...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

To all the geeks out there :),

I'm pretty new to server level configurations. I have a task in hand to
migrate a set of applications from one server to another. The requirement is
an AS-IS migration. The requirement is to migrate a setup which has Apache
as the webserver, Webgate as the access server and JBoss as the application
server. Presently i have did a 'tar' and an 'untar' of the present
filesystem to the new physical box. Webgate was freshly installed in the new
setup. I have also made changes in the config files for the new copy. Kindly
help me with the below queries.

1)What are all the configuration specific changes i need to make in the new
server?
2)If i startup the Apache and JBoss servers, how can i make sure that Apache
and JBoss are communicating successfully? Is there some tool/utility for
testing the same.
3)Any other specific things to keep in mind while migrating from one server
to another?
4)If Apache and JBoss servers dont startup successfully, what could be the
possible cause.
5)Also let me know the configuration files in which the Apache and JBoss
ports are configured so that i can make port changes if required and what
are the default ports used.

waiting for your priceless help. Thanks a ton :)

Don't worry, it won't be priceless.  For this kind of work, I am sure 
you can hire a couple of the gurus here, and they will name a price.

Moving the installed binaries /may/ work, or more likely may not, 
depending on your OS (you didn't mention what that was).

Usually installing a fresh copy of the latest/best available version is 
a better idea.

Depends on the custom properties of your configuration?

A web page is displayed, or the logs show errors.  Probably.

Erm...

You messed up somewhere.

The HTTPD users mailing list is the best place to get help for that 
server.  The same is probably true of JBOSS (which does contain Tomcat, 
but is configured very differently).

Casting your eye over the documentation available for each server first, 
might be a wise idea...
