Thanks! This sounds promising :D I guess I need to figure out what modules I need to load etc. It seems like my Apache installation don't have any mod_proxy_ajp.so (or what the name is).
I think I'll need to fiddle with my server and see what else is running. For my contect I have a feeling I would need these modules; - mod_proxy - mod_proxy_ajp - mod_proxy_balancer - mod_ssl Anything else I need to set up? (And if so, why?) My plan was to remove as much modules etc. as possible. -Erik -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Bernie Durfee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 4. april 2006 21:10 Til: Tomcat Users List Emne: Re: Connecting Apache 2.2 and Tomcat 5.5.16 > mod_jk, mod_jk2 (same as jk2?), mod_proxy, mod_proxy_balancer, mod_proxy_ajp > APR, AJP etc. and my head starts spinning.. :o\ From what I understand, as of Apache 2.2, the mod_jk project no longer applies. Instead, the mod_proxy module is a generic way to proxy from Apache HTTPD to other servers. So for Tomcat, the mod_proxy_ajp module will proxy from Apache HTTPD directly to Tomcat using the AJP protocol. This is much simpler than ever, here is how I do it for one of my servers... <VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80> ServerName my.server.com ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / ajp://12.34.56.78:8009/ </VirtualHost> ...which passes all requests for my.server.com to Tomcat, with an AJP connector listening on port 8009... <Connector address="12.34.56.78" port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" enableLookups="false" minSpareThreads="20" maxSpareThreads="100" maxThreads="200" connectionTimeout="60000" /> ...it's very simple now, no workers.properties or crazy mod_jk directives. In fact mod_proxy_ajp is included with Apache 2.2. > Well basically what I though was to set up an Apache server and more then > one Tomcat servers with some load balancing.

I have it set for SSL, which still uses the exact same proxy diretives, since the proxying is done using AJP after Apache does all the SSL protocol stuff. Again, very simple. As for load balancing, I believe this would be handed by some additional mod_proxy directives.
