Is my_mod_jk.conf Only Way
Hi,
I'm trying to get Apache (1.3.20) and Tomcat (3.2.2) to recognize
"similar" URL's. By this I mean, get rid of the /servlet in the
Apache mapping. The only way I've found to do this is to copy mod_jk.
conf-auto to another file, I called it my_mod_jk.conf and change
the JkMount lines.
For example, I changed:
JkMount /admin/servlet/* ajp12
JkMount /admin/*.jsp ajp12
to:
JkMount /admin/* ajp13
It works fine, except everything in the admin directory, even the
html is served by Tomcat I believe. Is there a better way? What's
the purpose of Apache in this case, unless I use unique subdirectories
for static html files? Or is Apache picking up the html files? How
can I tell which one serves the html files with the /admin/* mapping?
Also, although I configured Tomcat's server.xml to recognize Ajpv13,
I noticed it was still using Ajpv12. Why?
Any help would be much appreciated.
THANKS

- server.xml configures Tomcat.
- mod_jk.conf-auto is created by Tomcat based on your
server.xml configuration and can be included in Apache's
httpd.conf.
or
- My preferred way is to put all of the mod_jk directives in
httpd.conf myself and maintain them manually...no surprises,
but others have luck with the automated method.
- workers.properties is used by mod_jk to figure out how to
connect to Tomcat (IP address, port number, load balancing,
etc.). If everything's on the same machine, the default file
is fine. You can use ajp12 or ajp13 workers by those names
from the default settings.
- uriworkermap.properties is IIS/ISAPI only...I think. No need to
worry about it.
The only other file I've had to mess with is tomcat-users.xml to set
up authentication through Tomcat on one site where a webapp
relied on it. Otherwise, I just stick to Apache's security.
Hope that helps.

FRUSTRATED: Is my_mod_jk.conf Only Way
Posted by "Joseph A. Noble" <no...@flashman.com>.
HELP! I'm getting real frustrated.
Based on what I've been reading on the list and the archives, I've tried
modifying:
tomcat-apache.conf
server.xml
uriworkermap.properties
mod_jk.conf
workers.properties
to get Tomcat (3.2.2) and Apache (1.3.20) working on Win98SE, WinNT, and Solaris
2.7 machines nothing I change other than replacing mod_jk.conf-auto seems to
change anything. Can someone explain what files impact the Apache/Tomcat
configuration or what they do? Here's the list of files in the conf directory:
build.xml
iis_redirect.reg-auto
jni_server.xml
jni_workers.properties
manifest.servlet
mod_jk.conf
mod_jk.conf-auto
obj.conf
obj.conf-auto
server.xml
test-tomcat.xml
tomcat-apache.conf
tomcat-users.xml
tomcat.conf
tomcat.policy
tomcat.properties
uriworkermap.properties
uriworkermap.properties-auto
web.dtd
web.xml
workers.properties
wrapper.properties
I'm assuming I can ignore all the IIS files, but I'm beginning to even doubt
that. If someone could just tell me which files are involved, and in what
hierarchy or sequence they are used I could proceed on my own. It seems like
nothing I change, like trying to use ajp13 instead of ajp12 works. Which of the
above files impact my configuration and which can I ignore? Any documentation
project should outline what the files are for and what they do.
The cause of my frustration is that we (I) convinced our customer that we didn't
need or want to use Oracle 9iAS Application Server, after 6 months of using it,
and to use Apache/Tomcat instead. Since they were convinced, I've run into
nothing but frustrations trying to get Tomcat/Apache to work together. I've
posted three previous messages to the list, including the one below, and
received no response.
HELP!!!
