I'd stay away from jk2 is deprecated in favour of maintaining the original mod_jk. The configuration for jk2 meant more hoop-jumping than with jk and thus is fell out of favour..
Unfortunatly the apache2 modules for the debian distribution only has a compiled jk2. Assuming you want to use the debain aptitude stuff, I'd install the apache1 stuff rather than 2 until someone creates mod_jk for apache 2 on debian. This link takes you through the basics, and the configuration differences between apache 1 and 2 or minimal.. http://raibledesigns.com/tomcat/ Mark On 6/23/05, Alan Chandler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to add tomcat4 into my existing apache2 system so that I can > experiment with java (in the form of servlets and jsp). > > Although in reality I only have a single computer, for learning purposes I > want to similate the situation where I have potentially split web and > application servers. > > So this server has two ethernet cards - one facing the outside world with an > address assigned by my isp using dhcp. www.chandlerfamily.org.uk points at > this address. > > On the other side, my lan side, I have allocated myself a range of io > addresses using eth1 (192.168.0.20) eth1:0 (192.168.0.30) eth1:1 > (192,168.0.31) as the devices (and their ip addresses) created via iface > stanzas in /etc/networking/interfaces. > > Bind is used to provide different names to the different lan based ip > addresses > > An iptables firewall protects the addresses and does NAT. > > Using Apache2, I then use ip based virtual hosts, so the external address has > one web site for http and two of the internal addresses support two other > http web sites. https is allocated a further host on the external address to > replicate one of the internal sites and providing secure access to webmail. > > I would like to set up tomcat so that it acts as though it were running on the > single ip address 192.168.0.31 (although appropriate requests to my external > web site - are routed through to it via apache). > > Obviously therefore I need to connect apache2 to tomcat4 and therefore > installed libapache2-mod-jk2. > > However, there doesn't seem to be any clear documentation to tell me how to > achieve a configuration of this connector to tell me what to do.
