Tomcat
Apache 2 + tomcat 5 in Fedora
Steps (only steps, fetches online resources if you would like to understand the rational behind)
1. install the following packages if you missed
-- httpd -- httpd-devel -- tomcat5
1.1. Install tomcat manually
1.1.1 Go to http://tomcat.apache.org/ and download the Linux Tomcat, current version is apache-tomcat-6.0.26.tar.gz
1.1.2. Extract it under /opt (say)
1.1.3. Create a symbolic link
ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.26 /opt/tomcat
1.1.4. Create a system service file tomcat and put it under /etc/rc.d/init.d. Remember a add "x" attribute to the file with the command:
chmod +x tomcat
1.1.5. Add tomcat user and group
groupadd -g 232 tomcat useradd -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat -u 232 tomcat
1.1.6. Change the tomcat folder to tomcat:tomcat
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/tomcat chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.26
1.1.7. In the file catalina.sh in the bin folder of tomcat, add jdk location
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java JRE_HOME=/opt/java
2. Prepare Tomcat Connectors (Starting from Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_ajp will be used to replace mod_jk)
2.1. Build from source
2.1.1. download Tomcat Connectors
-- JK 1.2 http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi
2.1.2. extract the download file and go to the directory jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.15-src/jk/native have a look on BUILDING if you want
2.1.3. Build
-- go to the directory
jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.15-src/jk/native
-- run the following command
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
if there is an error, check with config.log (for me, i miss a cpp complier, and i choose to install gcc-c++)
-- run make
make
2.2. Download the prebuild module
Go to the url http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/
download the current vesion: mod_jk-1.2.28-httpd-2.2.X.so
3. copy the module
cp ./apache-2.0/mod_jk.so /usr/lib/httpd/modules/
4. JKWorkersFile
-- go to directory
jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.15-src/jk/conf
-- edit the workers.properties
i. find the tomcat home and java home directory variable
workers.tomcat_home=/var/tomcat3 ... workers.java_home=/opt/IBMJava2-13
and change the path point to the corresponding home directory in your system you may reference to /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf
ii. change the java lib for the worker find the following comments
# # The JVM that we are about to use #
!!! and change the setting according to your java version and platform
-- run the following command cp workers.properties /etc/httpd/conf/
5. edit httpd.conf -- open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in your favorable editor
-- find the section LoadModule and add the following line on the last LoadModule declaration
# for integrate tomcat 5 LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
-- find the section IfModule and add the following at last
# for integrate tomcat 5 <IfModule mod_jk.c> JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel info JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y]" JkMount /* ajp13 </IfModule>
6. test configuration is error-free apachectl -t
7. restart httpd and tomcat5
8. test your server
