DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50346] New: Install should do whatever is
necessary to connect to Apache
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50346
Summary: Install should do whatever is necessary to connect to
Apache
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: 6.0.24
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Connectors
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: andycanfield@yahoo.com
I have Ubuntu 10.04 and Apache 2.2.14-5 and Java.
I installed PHP5. They worked together, instantly.
I installed TomCat6 and spent a week trying to get two packages from the same
organization to talk to each other. This is damned irritating.
It has taken me a week to see a web page when I point my browser at
"http://localhost:8080/War/Sandy4"
I expect it till take me another week to get rid of the ":8080". This is
stupid.
The standard install script for Tomcat should detect Apache2 and do whatever is
necessary to get the two talking to each other.
I invented jx.php to run Java programs that generate web pages without Tomcat.
jx.php requires no Tomcat, only Java. A jx.php site can do everything in HTML
but must drop into PHP to emit HTTP headers.
If I create an application for a customer, should plan on a week installing
Tomcat on his server? Or should I just just use jx.php instead? That is my
concern right now.
Tomcat is so difficult to install that it may be worse than nothing.

The ASF doesn't provide the packages used by Ubuntu (or any other Linux
distribution for that matter). The ASF has no control over how the packages are
installed, which httpd modules are included and how Tomcat and httpd are
configured. Each linux distribution does its own packaging so if you want to
see improvements to the packaging on Unbuntu you need to address your concerns
to the Unbuntu team.
If it has taken you a week to get http://localhost:8080/War/Sandy4 (which
appears to be going direct to Tomcat and not using httpd at all) that suggests
that something is badly wrong with the Ubuntu packaging, the WAR you were
trying to deploy was broken, that you need help understanding Tomcat or any
combination of the above. It should take about 30s to get a WAR running with
Tomcat. If you need help with Tomcat, the users mailing list is the place to
get it. (Note bugs that look like support requests will just get closed as
invalid). You should also be aware that the first suggestion from the users
list is likely to be to throw away whatever Tomcat install was provided by
Unbuntu and start again with the tar.gz distribution from the ASF.
Regaarding removing the :8080, there are a number of options including not
using httpd at all. If you do use httpd, there is a little configuration
involved (and you might needs an extra httpd module or two) but it certaily
should not be a difficult thing to do. The best approach from the range if
options available will depend on your circumstances. Again the users mailing
list is the place to get help.
