Dhaval, Yes - I just checked. The only Linux binaries are for SLES9 - where were they when I needed them? And you really do want the most recent version - it includes the "/JkStatus" control panel for quiescing and adjusting load balancing.
If you will take a bit of time I believe I (and others) can walk you through the compile of the connector sources. Its really pretty easy. Here's what I did (assumes you are in a bash shell). 1) I downloaded this: http://mirrors.playboy.com/apache/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/source/jk-1.2. 14/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.14.1-src.tar.gz 2) Then expanded in /opt so I ended up with /opt/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.14.1-src - but any location should be fine. 3) Change you working directory to /jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.14.1-src/jk and read the BUILD.txt It reads: ... For the impatient Apache admins: $> cd native $> ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs (or where ever the apxs/apxs2 is) $> make $> su -c 'make install' but also points you at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/howto/apache.html As I remember the simple instructions did not work completely - I believe the problem was (in my case) with SLES9 not having the correct "apxs" (Apache Portable Runtime??) version. But I was able to solve that problem pretty easily - sorry, cannot remember how, it was three months ago :(. Try the simple steps above and report back. One of us should be able to step you through this. Hope this helps. - Richard -----Original Message----- From: Dhaval Patel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 11:12 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Help configuring mod_jk! Apache 2.0.54 + Tomcat 5.5.12 + SuSE Linux 10.0 Richard, Thank you so much for your quick response. I forgot to mention I am using 32 bit architecture. I have AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with SuSE 10 and Windows XP dual boot. I tried to compile the binaries but could not able to compile it. I found the document from http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/howto/apache.html but it does not have compilation intruction for linux. Can you able to provide me some instructions? I know it's little off topic to this forum but since you have already done it, it would be easy for you to guide me. Based upon your email, I reliazed that the .so that I used is for SuSE Liux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES) and that too for 64bit. Do jakarta have binary for 32 bit linux? I know they have nice .so files for Win32 and OSX. ( :( ) Thanks again.
