How to deploy to Apache web server

Hi!

You can read something about deployment to Apache Tomcat here:

http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/docs/help/2upd ate1/deploy/howtodeploy/deploy_tomcat.html

For Creator's application You need have application server, If You use Apache httpd, I'm not sure that your application will work well.

Thanks,

Roman.

Here are the steps I have taken to get my application working on Apache with a Tomcat and Apache Connector...

Creating an Apache - Tomcat Connector

Step 1:

Have Fun...

Step 2:

Download the source from Apache's web site

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/index.html

Step 3:

Download Tomcat 5.5

http://tomcat.apache.org/

Step 4:

Download Java

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Step 5:

Use the source files from the apache connector download to build the mod_jk.so file.

We do this by using the c++ command line compiler or the guey compiler

The location is relative to where you installed or placed the download source code

For example my location is as follows:

C:\apache13\tomcat-connectors-1.2.20-src\native\apache-1.3 (the actual project file is,mod_jk.dsw)

Through the guey is easy just select the rebuild from the build menu.

It should build if you remebered to set your environmental variables

For Example

Java_home = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_10

Apache1_home = C:\apache113\Apache (this would be apache2 for version 2 of Apache)

I also had to even though my environmental variable was set,

had to copy and past a file (jni.h) locally into the the following directory;

C:\apache13\tomcat-connectors-1.2.20-src\native\apache-1.3

Within the Apache Directory I had to change a couple of the library names of some of the files

to relect what files the source compile was looking for

I also downloaded the latest apache server and wehn i was building the connection in C++

Linked to 2 files and changed there names as these files were not in the version of Apache I was using

and that is why the names had to be changed of the following 2 files

libaprutil-1 changed to libaprutil

libapr-1 changed to libapr

Step 6:

Once successfully built move the mod_jk.so from this directory

C:\apache13\tomcat-connectors-1.2.20-src\native\apache-1.3\Release

to C:\apache113\Apache\modules\ directory

Step 7:

Use the Depends Tool (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\depend.exe) to see if the

.so files can find all of the associated .dlls. If the program cannot you may need to import (copy & paste) into the

directory which the mod_jk.so is looking for it. .

For Example the issue I had was the following 2 .dlls where in the wrong directory

Win9xConHook.dll

ApacheCore.dll

The mod_jk.so was looking for this in its current directory (C:\apache113\Apache\modules)

Step 8:

You must modify the httpd.conf file (C:\apache113\Apache\conf directory) by adding the following line:

Include "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf"

This .conf file is created when Tomcat is started so dont fret if its not built...

Step 9:

In the Tomcat directory you must edit the server.xml file

(C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf)

Right below the following tag add the listner tag

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"

modJk="C:/apache113/Apache/modules/mod_jk.so"/>

**** This pathing must point to the mod_jk.so file***

Right above the following tag add the listner tag

</Host>

<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"

modJk="C:/apache113/Apache/modules/mod_jk.so"/>

**** This pathing must point to the mod_jk.so file***

<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"

append="true"

forwardAll="false"

modJk="C:/apache113/Apache/modules/mod_jk.so"/>

**** This pathing must point to the mod_jk.so file***

Please create a folder in the conf directory and call it jk

within this new directory you will create the following file

workers.properties

With in this file, please place the following code

worker.list=ajp13

worker.ajp13.port=8009

worker.ajp13.host=localhost

worker.ajp13.type=ajp13

Step 10:

Run Tomcat

To see if its started and running properly

http://localhost:8080/ (you should get the Tomcat webpage if you did it right)

Step 11:

Wait 30 Seconds and then start Apache

To see if its started and running properly

http://localhost

Step 12:

If both services are running then try this to ensure that the jsp are running correctly

http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/index.html (test tomcat)

http://localhost/jsp-examples/index.html (test Apache)

I originally used Apache 1.something but I found out the hard way that version did not have multithreading built into it So I upgraded to apache2. something (the latest stable build)
