3. Now, you need to do some configuring on Apache Httpd to connect to Tomcat. You have two options:

      Option #1 mod_jk

       Note: Configuring with IIS : http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/iis.html

  • Navigate to your Apache config directory
    No Format
    cd /path/to/apache/config
    
  • Open httpd.conf for editing and locate the LoadModule section and make sure you have the mod_jk path defined (path may vary).
    No Format
    
    LoadModule jk_module "/usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so"
    
  • In the same file, httpd.conf, define the IfModule directive
    No Format
    
    <IfModule mod_jk.c>
      JkWorkersFile "/path/to/apache/config/workers.properties"
      JkLogFile "/path/to/apache/logs/mod_jk.log"
      JkLogLevel debug
      JkMount /*.jsp worker1
      JkMount /path/to/portal/* worker1
    </IfModule>
    JkMountCopy All
    
  • Now, we need to configure the workers.properties file ( You may include the workers.properties file in the apache config directory, but the path must match with the httpd.conf file where you defined the JkWorkersFile path above.)
    No Format
    
    #Below is an example of a workers.properties file.
    # Define 1 real worker using ajp13
    worker.list=worker1
    
    # Set properties for worker1 (ajp13)
    worker.worker1.type=ajp13
    worker.worker1.host=<your host address>
    
    # Set the port accordingly. You may adjust the port below
    worker.worker1.port=8443
    
    # Below may vary as these are just examples of what can be included.
    worker.worker1.lbfactor=50
    worker.worker1.cachesize=10
    worker.worker1.cache_timeout=600
    worker.worker1.socket_keepalive=1
    worker.worker1.socket_timeout=300
