Melanie,

I am compiling mod_jk source code on the server. The command to compile is
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs (or where ever the apxs/apxs2 is)
I did a quick linux find. -name apxs under the usr directory and nothing
turned up for apxs.
I don't think the mod_jk can be built without it. Is it because Apache Http
server is only 2.2 version?

Something has to be listening on port 80, in order to respond to browser requests for your existing HTML and Javascript; what is it? (From the headers in the responses from your website, it appears to be httpd 2.2.8 - which is a couple of years old and could stand updating.)

Hi,
The version of Tomcat is 5.5.
As far as the other question on what is my current port 80 web server is? I
don't understand the question exactly.
It is a virtual dedicated server.

You don't bother to mention what your current port 80 web server is, not what version of Tomcat you're using. The links below presume you're using httpd and the current version of Tomcat.

mod_jk2 hasn't been supported in several years; don't even think about using it.
For proper instructions, read this first:

The site is now up using the fix ProxyPass and ProxyRedirect. For now, I am
happy with this solution. Maybe in long term though, I'm curious though what
advantages are for using mod_jk versus ProxyPass and ProxyRedirect?

No, it does not, if you run the JVM under jsvc (commons-daemon).
This is how most Linux packages nowadays set it up by default.
But of course, you cannot run 2 servers at the same time listening on
the same port. So if you want to have Tomcat handle port 80, then you
cannot have Apache httpd listening to that same port at the same time.

Re: Question on Linux Tomcat Apache Server and Port Redirection for a

Hello Melanie,
I share André's vision :
#1 To get the root context http://www.robotronics.org/ forwarded to
Tomcat, the easiest way is to declare your java application as the
root context of your Tomcat (either naming it ROOT.war or declaring it
with path="" in server.xml according to your deployment method).
#1.1 If you cannot rename your tomcat app to serve Tomcat's root
context, look at context rewriting ; it would look like :
ProxyPass / http://my-tomcat:9080/Robotronics
ProxyPassReverse /Robotronics http://www.robotronics.org/
#2 You can mix the approach #1 to serve most of the
http://www.robotronics.org/ content including the root context with
Tomcat with serving sub parts of the web site directly from Apache
Httpd or from other servers.
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /handle/in/httpd/rather/than/in/tomcat !
ProxyPass / http://my-tomcat:9080/
#3 Some people are afraid about performance cost of serving static
content from Tomcat rather than from Apache Httpd. For such problems,
I feel the solution resides more in the usage of standard HTTP caching
header Expires and Cache-Control combined with mod_expires and
mod_disk_cache rather than in copying static resources on Apache
Httpd.
#4 I slightly disagree with André on asking Tomcat to listen on port
80 ; I am very reluctant to this approach as it requires to run the
JVM as root ; I prefer the iptables approach (well described in the in
the rimuhosting doc you referred - 1).
Hope this helps,
Cyrille

Melanie,
backing up a little bit..
According to your various posts, originally, you have, on the same host :
- an Apache httpd, answering on http://www.robotronics.org (port 80),
which serves html and javascript documents
- a Tomcat engine and an application in it, answering on
http://www.robotronics.org:9080/Robotronics (thus port 9080, and a URI
"/Robotronics"), but this application is located in the directory
/usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/springapp.
and you would apparently like that "everything" would answer to the URL
http://www.robotronics.org (port 80).
That is feasible, but the above is composed of several parts, and there
are several ways to configure the individual parts.
So you have to be a bit systematic in the approach, and do one thing at
a time.
A couple of questions to answer first are :
1) do you want to leave the html and javascript part under the Apache
httpd server, or not ?
2) do you need this Apache httpd server for other things, apart from
this specific case ?
The reason for these questions is that the easiest and simplest setup
would be
- to move the html and javascript part onto the Tomcat server
- to eliminate the Apache httpd server
- to change the Tomcat server so that it responds to port 80 instead of
port 9080
- to change the Tomcat configuration so that your webapp application
becomes the "default" application of Tomcat, and thus answers to the URL
http://www.robotronics.org, without the "/Robotronics" prefix.
But, this simple setup would not be the right one if you want to keep
the front-end Apache httpd, because for example you need it for other
things (other virtual sites, other applications, etc..).
In that case, we would then recommend some form of "proxying" between
Apache httpd and Tomcat. And there are several possibilities there too.
Which is why I mention the need to take this one bit at a time..

If you want the springapp to be the default webapp, delete (or rename) the Tomcat-supplied webapps/ROOT directory, and change the J2EE application directory to webapps/ROOT (case sensitive). There are alternative means of doing this, but the above is the simplest.
BTW, if everything is being passed through to Tomcat, you can simply eliminate httpd, and run Tomcat on port 80. However, your previous description indicated that you had some existing HTML being served by httpd, and if you want to keep that, you'll need to modify the ProxyPass setting to not pass those requests to Tomcat.

Thanks Cyrille for the information. This looks like it's a quick fix but
there is still another issue.
The Tomcat Startup Page is now being served, but not the actual springapp
J2EE web application that is located in the Tomcat directory --->
/usr/java/tomcat-5.5/webapps/springapp
Do you know the way to bring up the actual J2EE webpage instead of the
Tomcat Startup Page when the URL
http://www.robotronics.org is served by Apache and Tomcat?
No, I'm not French. The Google translations is rough.
Thank you,

Re: Question on Linux Tomcat Apache Server and Port Redirection for a
robotics site
Posted by Cyrille Le Clerc <cl...@apache.org>.
Hello Melanie,
I personally prefer to use HTTP between Apache and Tomcat rather than
the proprietary AJP protocol.
According to your description, I feel you can simply achive your need
with the following httpd.conf configuration (no other binaries than
out-of-the-box Apache Httpd needed) :
--> begin httpd.conf sample fragment <--
# load proxy and proxy_http modules
LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_http.so
...
# route all traffic to Tomcat
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://my-tomcat-server:9080/
--> end httpd.conf sample fragment <--
I blogged in French about Tomcat-Apache configuration. Hopefully, as
your name sounds french :-) you can understand them ; otherwise, they
are google-translate friendly :

Hope this helps, good luck
Cyrille

Melanie,
I would recommend using the Apache Tomcat Connector mod_jk. Documentation can be found here: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/apache.html
See what you can make of it.
