Apache Tomcat Connector - configuration

[srinivas yelamanchili <y_...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
I am trying to configure Apache httpd talk to Tomcat

From the documentation at
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/apache.html

1. Under 'Using Tomcat auto-configure' we have this line
"creating your workers.properties file at $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/jk/workers.properties"

Under 'Simple configuration example' we have this line
"# Where to find workers.properties
    JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties"

For the auto-configuration the worker properties file path is in TOMCAT_HOME path but for custom it's in HTTPd path?
What's the recommended path?



2. Under 'Using Tomcat auto-configure'

a) "The simplest way to configure Apache HTTP Server to use mod_jk is to turn on the Apache HTTP Server auto-configure setting in Tomcat"
How to turn on the auto-configure setting in Tomcat?

b) "Please note that this example is specific to Tomcat 5.x, unlike other sections of this document which also apply to previous Tomcat branches."
This statement may need to be updated with respect to latest Tomcat 7.0?

c) <Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig" modJk="/path/to/mod_jk.so" />
Here '/path/to' is not actual folders so should be italicized to mean as a pseudo-code?


3. Under 'Simple configuration example'
In which file (name) should the given configuration be saved to and under location HTTPd or TOMCAT_HOME path?



4. Under 'Introduction'
"There is actually three versions of Apache HTTP Server, 1.3, 2.0 and 2.2 and all can be used with mod_jk, the Tomcat redirector module."
comments:
2.4 is missing and 'three' is no longer accurate
'There is' should be 'There are'


Thanks,
-sri

AFAIK auto configuration does not work any more and never did very well.

Start with the configuration examples distributed with the mod_jk source
distribution (and don't take the "minimal" config file).

Start with the configuration examples distributed with the mod_jk source
distribution (and don't take the "minimal" config file).

There's a httpd-jk.conf there which should be included in the httpd.conf
and a workers.properties which is referenced from httpd-jk.conf.

That was fixed recently in the docs sources and will be published with
1.2.38. Apache 2.4 is supported since some time now.
