Setup Apache to forward java (*.jsp) requests from Apache to Tomcat
11:05 AMRequirements:
(This guide assumes the following)
Apache 2.2 and Tomcat 7.0 installed and working with defaults settings
- Step 1: Login to the server with Apache 2.2 installed on it
- Step 2: Down load the following file mod_jk
- Step 3: Copy the file mod_jk.so to the following folder (%Apache root%\modules)
- Step 4: Edit the httpd.conf file (%Apache root%\conf\httpd.conf)
- Step 5: Add the following code to the bottom of the file
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel error
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"
JKMount /*.jsp example
#example can be renamed but (worker.list=) must be updated in the workers.properites file
- Step 6: Make a new file called workers.properties at (%Apache root%\conf) with the following code
Icon
Make sure to add host IP and port, and remove <> sections
# Define worker 'example'
worker.list=example # Must be same name as name at the end of JKMount in apache's httpd.conf file
# Set properties for worker 'example' (ajp13)
worker.example.type=ajp13
worker.example.host=<server IP of tomcat server, can be localhost if tomcat is installed on the same server>
worker.example.port=<port number for Tomcat AJP/1.3 connector, Default is 8009>
worker.example.cachesize=10
worker.example.cache_timeout=600
worker.example.socket_keepalive=1
worker.example.recycle_timeout=300
- Step 7: Make a .jsp page to test
- Step 8: Use the following code make a file called test.jsp and save (%Tomcat Root%\webapps\test)
<html>
<head>
<title>Tutorial: HelloWorld</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Testing Page Load from Tomcat</h1>
JSP page loading from Tomcat
</body>
</html>
Now you are done, any request for a .jsp page that comes into Apache will be served by Tomcat.
