Thanks for the reply Ster, "Find someone who does.", sorry when I said privilege I actually meant option, that is I cannot install a new Apache over the older 2.2.3 and we have to go with the default configuration. Because they have chosen RHEL 5.4 as the platform and it comes with 2.2.3 version, I will see if I can convince them!
You don't have to install it over the top, you can install a different version alongside it, if need be. If you're serious about performance & security you simply must stay up to date with software releases.
"Why? RHEL has a built-in updater application doesn't it?" - I am actually new to Linux environment and will try to find out more on this, is it something like windows automatic software updater?
Similar in concept only, less automatic and more manual.
"If you can't upgrade HTTPD, how are you going to compile mod_jk?" - I just had the thought that I need only the APR bundle and mod_jk src package to compile and load it as a dynamic module! Does it need a HTTPD upgrade?
If you can compile software then you can download the HTTPD source and install the latest version - you only need root access at the end to complete the installation, all of the build can be done under another user.
"Tying one hand behind your back isn't a good way to start." - Good though, but I wish I had the authority to change decisions :-(
Often the case; be persuasive, explain the problem.
"1x HTTPD and 5x Tomcat might be enough, but it's not going to depend on the server software, it's going to depend on your application and the hardware you're running on" - The Tomcat has an web application that actually inserts a record into the database for every https request and that all it does.
But what is being requested?
"Your config suggests that you're running this on one server, how much memory is available and how many processors does it have?" - We have one linux machine with quad core processor and 8GB of RAM
Is it a 64bit machine? (If so, is the OS the 64bit version and if not, why not?)
Thanks for your time Ster...
