2007-09-14

under debian enter the following command to make sure your compiler environment is working

set up your environment with
apt-get install libtool autoconf gcc apache2-prefork-dev
great.. now we are ready to compile

copy the tomcat source native directory over to the server and from within native/ run the following

make sure the support dir is sitting at the same level

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2
make
make install

then after all that

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules

Or download a precomiled binary from http://mirror.public-internet.co.uk/ftp/apache/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/linux/jk-1.2.26/i386/

mod_jk - exclude sub-dirs from tomcat with no-jk [relevance: 3.68]

2007-09-10

excluding sub-directories from mod_jk and allowing apache to execute them natively can be done with with SetEnvIf no-jk. simply add the following code to either the httpd.conf or the mod-jk.conf

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/munin/*" no-jk
JkMount /* ajp13

In this case we are running munin with jboss/tomcat and want to run the perl code in the apache httpd environment at the same time forwarding all other requests to the root /* to the jboss/tomcat server

Debian Java/Tomcat Configuration on Sarge [relevance: 1.54]

2007-09-14

Following on from the previous article Java should now be located in

/usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/bin

You will have to set up

JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME

these can be set in

/etc/environment

add the lines

JAVA_HOME = "/usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun"
export JAVA_HOME

CATALINA_HOME= "/opt/Tomcat5.5/"
export CATALINA_HOME

or from the command line

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/

etc.

first we have to build mod_jk for our environment

refer to my other article on building mod_jk

put mod_jk.so into /etc/apache2/mods-available or wherever else you want and then refer to it in the apache conf stick this in your httpd.conf # Load mod_jk module # Specify the filename of the mod_jk lib LoadModule jk_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so then restart apache ./ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
