Modified: src/doc Tag: tomcat_32 mod_jk-howto.html
Log:
Major update supplied by Mike Bremford.
I added a little to the NT mod_jk build and made some other cosmetic
changes, such as replacing <xmp> with <pre> and replacing example
instances of "<" with "<", etc.

-<h2>Why mod_jk?</h2>
+<p>mod_jk is a replacement to the elderly mod_jserv. It is a completely new
+Tomcat-Apache plugin that handles the communication between Tomcat and Apache</p>
+<hr>
+<h2><a name=s3>Why mod_jk?</a></h2>
<p>Several reasons: </p>
<ul>
- <li>mod_jserv was too complex
- because it supported Jserv specific requirements that Tomcat does not
- pose.</li>
- <li>mod_jserv supported only
- Apache; on the other hand Tomcat supports many web servers through a
- compatibility layer named the jk library. Supporting two different modes
- of work became problematic in terms of support, documentation and bug
+ <li><b>mod_jserv was too complex</b>. Because it was ported from Apache/JServ, it
+ brought with it lots of JServ specific bits that aren't needed by Apache.
+ <li><b>mod_jserv supported only Apache</b>. Tomcat supports many web servers
+ through a compatibility layer named the jk library. Supporting two different
+ modes of work became problematic in terms of support, documentation and bug
fixes. mod_jk should fix that.</li>
<li>The layered approach provided
- by the jk library makes it easier to support both Apache1.3.x and
- Apache2.xx.</li>
+ by the jk library makes it easier to support both <b>Apache1.3.x <i>and</i>
+ Apache2.xx.</b></li>
+ <li><b>Better support for SSL</b>. mod_jserv couldn't reliably identify whether a
+ request was made via HTTP or HTTPS. mod_jk can, using the newer Ajpv13 protocol.</li>
</ul>
+<hr>
+<h2><a name=s4>What does it means to me?</a></h2>
-<h2>What does it means to me?</h2>
-
<p>You will need to get to know a new simplified configuration mechanism. The
advantage is that learning this mechanism will give you a head start if you
want to deploy Tomcat on other web servers such as IIS and Netscape (oops,
iPlanet).</p>
-
-<h2>Configuring Apache to use mod_jk</h2>
-
-<p>The configuration includes the following steps: </p>
-
-<ol>
- <li>Remove your old mod_jserv
- configuration. mod_jk and mod_jserv cannot coexist !!</li>
- <li>Obtaining mod_jk</li>
- <li>Defining workers for mod_jk
- (or selecting the quick start option)</li>
- <li>Configuring Apache to use
- mod_jk and configure mod_jk internals (or selecting the quick start
- option)</li>
- <li>Assigning URLs to be
- redirected to Tomcat (or selecting the quick start option)</li>
-</ol>
-
-<h2>Obtaining mod_jk</h2>
-
-<p>There are no prebuilt mod_jk distribution for now, so you will need to build
-it yourself.</p>
-
-<h3>On NT</h3>
-
-<p>The redirector was developed using Visual C++ Ver.6.0, so having this
-environment is a prereq if you want to perform a custom build.</p>
-
-<p>The steps that you need to take are: </p>
-
-<ol>
- <li>Change directory to the
- apache1.3/apache2.0 source directory. </li>
- <li>Execute the following
- command:<br>
- <tt><span>MSDEV mod_jk.dsp /MAKE ALL</span></tt><br>
- If msdev is not in your path, enter the full path to msdev.exe </li>
- <li>Copy mod_jk.dll to Apache's modules directory.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>This will build both release and debug versions of the redirector plugin
-(mod_jk). </p>
-
-<p>An alternative will be to open <tt>mod_jk.dsp</tt> in msdev and build it using the build
-menu.</p>
-
-<h3>On UNIX</h3>
-
-<p>For apache1.3</p>
-
-<ol>
- <li>Change directory to the
- apache1.3/ apache2.0 source directory.</li>
- <li>Use apxs in the following
- manner: <br>
- <tt><span>apxs -o mod_jk.so -c *.c ../jk/ *.c -I ../jk/</span></tt></li>
- <li>Copy mod_jk.so to Apache's libexec directory</li>
-</ol>
-
-<h2>Quick start?</h2>
-
-<p>In most of simple cases Tomcat can generate the needed Apache configuration.
-When Tomcat starts up it will automatically generate
-a configuration file for Apache in<tt>TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto</tt>.
-Most of the time you don't need to do anything but
-include this file (appending <tt>"Include TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto"</tt>)
-in your httpd.conf. That�s it, you can
-now start Tomact and Apache and access Tomcat from the Apache server.</p>
-
-<p>If you have special needs, for example mounting
-URL prefixes that are not the default, you can use this file as a base for your
-customized configuration and save the results in another file. If you manage
-the Apache configuration yourself you'll need to update it whenever you add a
-new context. </p>
-
-<p style="background-color: #E0E0E0;"><b>Tomcat 3.2:</b> you must restart tomcat and apache after adding a new
-context; Apache doesn't support configuration changes without a restart. Also
-the file <tt>TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto</tt> is generated when
-tomcat starts, so you'll need to start Tomcat before Apache. Tomcat will
-overwrite <tt>TOMCAT_HOME/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto</tt> each startup so
-customized configuration should be kept elsewhere.</p>

+
+<h3><a name=s62>2. Obtaining and building mod_jk</a></h3>
+<div class=subsection>
+Binaries are available for Linux and Win32 under the bin directory where you obtained

+mod_jk is available as mod_jk.dll. If there isn't a prebuilt mod_jk available or
+you wish to build your own copy, you can build it yourself from the source.

+There are several Makefiles in the other directories under the <tt>jakarta-tomcat/src/native</tt> directory.
+</div>
+<h3><a name=s63>3. (optional) Configuring Tomcat to use the Ajpv13 protocol</a></h3>
+<div class=subsection>
+mod_jk can use either the original Ajpv12 protocol or the newer Ajpv13 protocol.
+If you choose the latter, you need to activate the "Ajp13" Connection Handler in Tomcat. This
+will give you the benefit of a faster protocol and the ability to identify requests made via HTTPS.<BR><BR>
+Add the following block to your <tt>TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml</tt> file.
+<blockquote><pre>
+<Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
+ <Parameter name="handler" value="org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp13ConnectionHandler"/>
+ <Parameter name="port" value="8009"/>
+</Connector>
+</pre></blockquote>
+The <tt>servlet.xml</tt> file already has a block similar to this for Ajp12 connections on port 8007 (as delivered by mod_jserv). Even if you think you're only using Ajp13, you probably don't want to delete this connector - it's required to shut down Tomcat.

+<h4>Configuring workers manually.</h4>

+Workers are configured using the file <tt>TOMCAT_HOME/conf/workers.properties</tt>.
+There is a great deal of information in the
+<a href="Tomcat-Workers-HowTo.html">workers.properties howto</a> document, and you
+should really look at that first. If you're in a hurry however, you can probably get away
+with editing the file <tt>workers.properties</tt> and setting the <tt>workers.tomcat_home</tt>, <tt>workers.java_home</tt> and <tt>ps</tt> variables to the correct values for your system.

+<h3><a name=s65>5. Configure Apache to use mod_jk</a></h3>

- <li>You must inform mod_jk the

- <li>You should specify a location

selection.</li>
</ul>
-
-<p>That's it. Now you should assign URLs to be redirected to Tomcat.</p>
+A simple example would be to include the following lines in your <tt>httpd.conf</tt> file:
+<blockquote><pre>
+LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
+AddModule mod_jk.c
+JkWorkersFile /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/conf/workers.properties

+JkLogLevel warn
+</pre></blockquote>
+</div>
-<h2>Assigning URLs to Tomcat</h2>
-
+<h3><a name=s66>6. Assigning URLs to Tomcat</a></h3>
+<div class=subsection>
<p>Use mod_jk's JkMount directive to assign specific URLs to Tomcat. In general
the structure of a JkMount directive is:</p>
<pre>
-JkMount <URL prefix> <Worker name>
+JkMount <i><URL prefix></i> <i><Worker name></i>
</pre>
-
-<p>For example the following directives will send all the .jsp suffixed
-requests to localworker, but jsp requests to files located in /otherworker will
-go to remoteworker. Additionally any requests prefixed by /servlet/ will go to
-localworker</p>
-<pre>
-JkMount /*.jsp localworker
+<p>For example the following directives will send all requests ending in
+<tt>.jsp</tt> or beginning with <tt>/servlet</tt> to the "<tt>ajp13</tt>" worker,
+but jsp requests to files located in /otherworker will go to "<tt>remoteworker</tt>".
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
+JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /otherworker/*.jsp remoteworker
-JkMount /servlet/* localworker
-</pre>
-
-<p>You should of course adjust the mounts points to reflect
-your own topology.</p>
-
-<h2>Running Apache with Tomcat </h2>
-
-<p>That's it; you are done. You should now be able to start Tomcat and apache
-and have tomcat and apache cooperate to serve servlets and JSP files.</p>
-
+</pre></blockquote>
+You can use the <tt>JkMount</tt> directive at the top level or inside <tt><VirtualHost></tt>
+sections of your httpd.conf file.
+</div>
+
+You're done! You should now be able to start Tomcat and apache and have them cooperate

+<h2><a name=s7>An example configuration</a></h2>

+<BR><BR>
+URLs ending in .jsp and beginning with /servlet are handled by Tomcat, the rest are

+<h2><a name=s8>Troubleshooting and F.A.Q.s</a></h2>
+
+<h3>Q. I can't find mod_jk anywhere. Where is it?</h3>
+A. You need to download the <b>Source Distribution</b> of Tomcat and build it yourself.
+See <a href="#s62">this section</a> for more information.
+
+<h3>Q. Which protocol should I use? Ajp12 or Ajp13?</h3>
+A. Ajp13 is a newer protocol, it's faster, and it works better with SSL. You almost
+certainly want to use that. There is more information in the
+<a href="Tomcat-Workers-HowTo.html">workers.properties howto</a> document
+
+<h3>Q. Whenever I restart Tomcat, Apache locks up!</h3>
+A. The Ajp13 protocol keeps an open socket between Tomcat and Apache. When you restart
+Tomcat, you need to restart Apache as well.
+
+<h3>Q. Where can I get more information?</h3>
+A. The <a href="Tomcat-Workers-HowTo.html">workers.properties howto</a> document has
+considerably more in-depth information than this one, and is worth a look. You could
+also try searching the mailing list archives for "mod_jk" or look at the source.
