mod_jk

[Danny Luk]

I have a problem with using both Apache 2.2.3 and Tomcat 5.5.23 using mod_jk.
Basically when I type http://www.mywebsite.com I want it to go to http://ipaddress:8088/shop where shop is my webapp and it's in the shop dir under /usr/lib/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/webapps.
I tested that tomcat is working and http://ipaddress:8088/shop brings up the shop web app.
Here's what I've done:
-Downloaded and put mod_jk.so into /usr/lib/httpd/modules
-Created mod_jk.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d with the following lines:

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile "/etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "/var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log"
JkLogLevel info

-Created workers.properties in /etc/httpd/conf with the following lines:

worker.list=tomcat
worker.tomcat.host=localhost
worker.tomcat.port=8009
worker.tomcat.type=ajp13

-Add virtual host in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as such:

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:8088>
    ServerName mywebsite.com
    ServerAlias www.mywebsite.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com
    JKMount /* tomcat
</VirtualHost>

192.168.0.2 is the internal ip for the website.
But I only see the Apache default after I restart both Apache and Tomcat and then type http://www.mywebsite.com.
So what did I do wrong or miss?

Do you have something like

    <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

in your tomcat's server.xml ?

[Danny Luk]

Yes I do.

Looks like you need to set 'shop' as default app. You need to have something like this in server.xml within <Host>

<Context docBase="/usr/lib/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/webapps/shop" path="">

I added the context line like you said and it's the same when I restarted Apache.

You have to restart Tomcat

I restarted both and ran http://ipaddress:8088/shop to make sure the app is running. But http://www.mywebsite.com still returns the Apache HTTP Server Test Page.

In this case you have to solve one problem at a time. This part should not work at all.

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:8088>
    ServerName mywebsite.com
    ServerAlias www.mywebsite.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com
    JKMount /* tomcat
</VirtualHost>  

Are you sure that you are seeing correct Apache HTTP Server Test Page. I mean it is Apache on 192.168.0.2:8088.
