Tomcat admin webapp configuration with mod_jk

[Adam Gordon <ad...@readytalk.com>]

We currently use Apache/Tomcat and mod_jk for our webapp.  I've 
downloaded and installed (correctly, I think) the admin web app but am 
having trouble configuring Apache and Tomcat to recognize that the admin 
webapp is present.  I suspect it's simply a config issue, but can't 
figure it out.  Here's our original server.xml:

<Server port="11005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">

  <Service name="Tomcat-Apache">
    <Connector protocol="AJP/1.3"
               port="11009"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               minSpareThreads="0"
               maxSpareThreads="0"
               maxThreads="3000"
               backlog="6000"
               debug="0"
               enableLookups="false"
               maxPostSize="-1"
               connectionTimeout="-1"/>

    <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0">

      <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
            autoDeploy="true" liveDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="false">

        <Context path="" docBase="palomar" cookies="false"
                 debug="0" crossContext="true" allowLinking="true">
          <Resources docBase="" allowLinking="true"/>
        </Context>
      </Host>
    </Engine>
  </Service>
</Server>

I've tried adding another connector (on port 8080) and also adding 
another <context> based on the admin.xml file but nothing seems to be 
working correctly.  I have workers.properties configured to redirect to 
Tomcat and that's working b/c I'm getting a Tomcat 404 error and not an 
Apache one.  I don't care by which means I connect to the admin webapp 
(either via mod_jk or directly via another port, say 8080 but I just 
can't seem to figure the configuration issue out.

Re: Tomcat admin webapp configuration with mod_jk

I just figured it out when verifying my installation per your request of 
my installation steps.  It finally clicked when I was looking at the 
subdirectories in TOMCAT_HOME/conf...there's a Standalone directory and 
a Catalina directory.

Our Engine name is Standalone and host name is localhost - so I moved 
the admin.xml from the default of conf/Catalina/localhost to 
conf/Standalone/localhost and voila! it worked.

So, now I have a problem whereby I can't log in and Tomcat is 
complaining that I don't have a LoginModule configured for Standalone.  
I assume I need to add a JAAS Realm in admin.xml (like we're doing for 
our web app) but it's not clear how it needs to be configured.

Any ideas?

Obviously, it's not correctly installed, or you wouldn't be having a problem.

Don't suppose you want to give us a hint about what version of Tomcat you're using?  Guessing from the contents of server.xml is rather pointless.  Exactly what steps did you take to install the admin web app?  Where is Tomcat installed?
