My intent is to have an Apache + JK + Tomcat server that uses apache only to
service static web content and and sends all dynamic content to Tomcat (so
that it handles all the JSP).  I downloaded and installed Apache 2.2, Tomcat
6.0, and J2SE 1.5 (Becuase j2se 1.6 was buggy and giving problems).  When
initially configuring the server, I included the following lines in the
Apache HTTPD.conf file:

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk-1.2.26-httpd-2.2.4.so


Apache 2.2 comes with mod_proxy as default. Either way, you must also configure apache to use either mod_jk or mod_proxy.

You are trying to do this by using the 'auto config' mechanism in tomcat.

and in Tomcat I included:

<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"
 modJK="c:/apache/modules/mod_jk-1.2.26-httpd-2.2.4.so" />

and

<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig" append="true"
 forwardAll="false"
 modJK="c:/apache/modules/mod_jk-1.2.26-httpd-2.2.4.so" /

I personally have never used this and in the installations which I have with Apache 2.2. I use mod_proxy so others may be able to help you more here, but I still think that your problem is that your attempt to service static documents with apache is overlapping with your attempts to serve dynamic information from tomcat.

Have you checked that the workers.properties file is being created correctly? What does it have in it?

You have explicitly set forwardAll to false, which is OK, but it also means that you must configure apache NOT to look at the same folders that you are using for tomcat. See the comment about noRoot and forwardAll in the javadocs.

"Warning: When false, some configuration in the web.xml may not be duplicated in Apache. Review the mod_jk conf file to see what configuration is actually being set in Apache."

It would help if you could give us your folder layout and how you
expect that to map to your url structure.




Basing most of the tutorials I have read about setting up this type of
servers, I thought this steps were sufficient to enable the server to work
in the above descirbed way.  It appears, however, that I am missing
something...
Trouble with tutorials is that they are mainly created by people in their spare time and they can't possibly cover every variation and condition in a world where individual components of a project are released on their own timescales and to meet their own objectives. I always seem to find something doesn't quite work right when I try to do it by rote from a tutorial and I end up debugging it myself, just using the tutorial as a guide.

The effect you are observing is because you have configured your setup to have the jsp files in the path of the document root for apache. Apache knows nothing about jsp files so it is just returning the source to you.

You have not specified O/S, JVM or Apache or Tomcat version.

You might like to read the tomcat documentation before going any further:

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ajp/ajpv13a.html

would be a good place to start if you intend to use apache + tomcat, together with

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/connectors.html

if you want to configure your version of tomcat to directly serve port 80 and not use apache at all.

A 'tomcat only' installation working with port 80 can easily be configured in Windows using the control panel (or so I believe as I don't use Windows myself). For a linux setup there are some additional complications - see:

http://commons.apache.org/daemon/index.html

to avoid running tomcat as root.

Also you may find looking at archives of this list helpful.


If you can't find the answers in the above and generally,

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

then maybe you could specify your system more clearly and I'm sure people will be able to give you more specific help.

I can get Tomcat to render JSP content if I try to (for example) access

when
I try to try http://localhost/examples/jsp I get nothing but the raw html
code of the page (of a specific example).
I have an Apache - Tomcat server, and Apache is listening on port 80
(Which
is the default port used when accessing the server using its IP address.
Tomcat has the following code lines in its server.xml file, that I think
might serve as reference point to what I'm talking about:

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

and

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
