Can't get tomcat 4 to work with mod_jk and Apache
I have been trying for the last week to get Apache + mod_jk + Tomcat 4 to
work.
I have confirmed that Tomcat works on 8080, confirmed that Apache is
running.
My configuration is as follows :
OS -
Redhat Linux 6.2
Java -
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk1.3"
Installed via RPM
Tomcat -
Installed binary distribution of jakarta 4.0.4 at
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4
Created jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/conf/jk/workers.properties as follows :
workers.tomcat_home=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4
workers.java_home=/usr/java/jdk1.3
ps=/
worker.list=ajp12, ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=toecutter
worker.ajp13.type=ajp13
Modified jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/conf/server.xml as follows : (see
attached)
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
#added line <Listener
className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig"
modJk="/usr/local/apache2/libexec/mod_jk-3.3-ap13-noeapi.so" />
....
and
<Host name="toecutter" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
#added line <Listener
className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig" append="true"
forwardAll="false" />
Apache -
Compiled Apache1.3.19 with the following config -
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-module=so
Added the following to httpd.conf (see attached)
Include /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf
mod_jk -
Added the binary mod_jk-3.3-ap13-noeapi.so to /usr/local/apache2/libexec
/apache2/logs/error_log contains the following :
[Tue Aug 20 02:08:20 2002] [error] [client 192.168.0.7] File does not exist:
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/examples/
indicating that it isn't even trying to redirect and looks for /examples
under /apache2/htdocs
Can someone please help me (thanks to those who have already tried), can
someone see a problem with my configuration ?

More than half my post below was about Tomcat, with suggestions on how
you can solve your problem. The other problem may not have been
*exactly* the same as yours, but it was *very close*, close enough
that I'd strongly suspect that what worked there (as well as some of
the other comments/suggestions in that thread) will give you a lot of
useful information in coming up with a solution to yours. You can't
expect to have a solution handed to you on a silver platter, you may
need to take the suggestions and play around with them, try some
variations. Yes, I know it can be frustrating, but sometimes that's
what you have to do.
Yes, Tomcat's documentation is not perfect, especially when it comes
to connecting Tomcat to Apache -- lots of people have complained about
it, including me -- but it is a volunteer project, and documentation
is often the lowest priority.

Yes I have read the other threads and all the documentation, and I didn't
find anyone else with exactly the same problem. I don't think I have abused
this list at all (if Tomcat was documented properly I doubt I would need to
ask questions), apologies for the duplicates, but there seems to be a delay
of several hours between my messages being sent and appearing on the list, I
didn't know this so I resent it. Yes I will keep using this list as I don't
see other way to get the damn thing to work, I believe I have exhausted all
other sources. I can't spare the time + bandwidth for a flame war with you
Milt, so unless you want to talk about Tomcat, I think I will ignore this
thread.
regards,
Scott.

FWIW, I think it's kind of obnoxious to post essentially the same
message asking for help so many times over such a short period. This
list is a community resource for people to help each other, but that
doesn't mean you should abuse it and use it as if it's your own
personal help list.
Further, there is another current thread covering pretty much the same
situation as yours -- someone with similar configuration and similar
symptoms (e.g. the error message appearing in the apache logs). Did
you even see that thread? That person managed to get his setup
working, and posted how he did so. I suggest you take a look at that
thread, particularly that final post, for info that you should be able
to use to get things going. The title of that thread is
"Apache 1.3.20 + Tomcat + (mod_jk or mod_webapp) for SuSE 7.3 Linux?".
Basically, there is something in your Apache config that is preventing
Apache from passing the relevant URL to Tomcat. That might be the
particular JK directives you have (e.g. the JkMount's), or something
about where you have them in your httpd.conf file. If the particular
suggestions in the other thread don't help you, you're going to need
to play around with things to get them working, change the directives
slightly, move them around, etc.
