Apache 2, Tomcat 5, mod_jk2 configuration problem

I am setting up a Web Server on a RedHat Enterprise Linux box. I installed the RedHat Application Server that installs Apache 2, Tomcat 5 and Mod_JK2. I can't get the mod_jk2 configured properly. I've searched the internet and haven't found any documentation that will work with this.
I need to know how to configure the mod_jk2 with Apache2 and Tomcat 5.
PLEASE HELP!!! Nothing I've tried from the Internet has helped. The best site that I've found is ::
http://www.johnturner.com/howto/apache2-tomcat4127-jk-rh9-howto.html
but its for tomcat 4 so it doesn't work for me.
Has anyone does this before that can help me????
Thanks in advance.

Ended up downloading and installing the mod_jk instead of the mod_jk2 that came with RedHat Application Server.

Apache + 2 Tomcats session replication problem.

Greetings everyone.
Before stating the problem, let me explain how my environment is set.
I have two machines. One (PC1) running Apache (HTTP server 2.0.58)
and one instance of Tomcat (5.0.28) and another machine (PC2) with
another instance of Tomcat(5.0.28).
The Apache server
It is configured to handle static content, to redirect dynamic content to a
Tomcat instance through AJP 1.3 connector.
This process is done through the mod_jk and the workers.properties
The workers.properties file is configured to have sticky_session = True
so it assigns a SESSION_ID to the same Tomcat it was first assigned.
The workers.properties file is configured to have
sticky_session_force = True so if the Tomcat the SESSION_ID was
assigned is not available, the server answers with a 500 error.
The Tomcat servers
Both have only the AJP 1.3 connector enabled
Both have the Cluster tag from the server.xml file uncommented
and the useDirtyFlag flag set to false, for not to allow SESSION
replication between Tomcats.
The workers.properties file
workers.apache_log=C:/Apache2/logs
workers.tomcat_home=C:/Tomcat5
workers.java_home=C:/j2sdk1.4.2_13

THE PROBLEM
I open a browser in the jk-status page to see how the Tomcat instances are
working, and both are working fine: Stat -> OK, now as the
loadbalancing factor is 1 on both Tomcats, an even alternating session
distribution is set.
While this browser is open to keep an eye on the status, I open a new
browser (B1)to connect to my Web Application, Apache answers
correctly and gives me a SESSION_ID for Tomcat instance 1 [both
instances are OK], if I make a simple refresh, my SESSION_ID is still the
same so I'm assigned to Tomcat instance 1 but this time I get an
ERROR 503 - Service unavailable but looking at the status of the
Tomcat instances both instances are still OK, no-one is down. And it
stays throwing this error for as many refreshes i do.
Now, I open a new browser (B2)and do the same process as before,
as expected, Apache now gives me a SESSION_ID for Tomcat instance 2,
repeating the same refreshing process, the error is thrown again, but still at
the jk-status page, both instances are fine.
Without closing these windows, I make a new refresh try on B1 and
even though the jk-status says both Tomcat instances are OK, the error
is still thrown. I open a third one (B3), and Apache again, correctly
gives me a new SESSION_ID for Tomcat instance 1 and answers
correctly on the first call. But once again if i repeat the refreshing process, the
error is thrown again.
Note: Using a different resolution to always keep and eye on the
instances status and using a refresh rate of 1 second for status, both
servers always were OK.
So the main problem is that somehow when the session is replicated
to the same tomcat, Apache confuses and thinks it is not available, when
asking it through the jk-status it tells it is OK
I've been trying different configurations with both Apache and Tomcat,
but there must be something missing since I don't get it to work correctly
Thanks in advance for all your helping comments.

Whew... that was quite an answer... definitely is going to help him a lot. Yeah any n00b by now should know how to use google, but that's not the point in this forums, here we are to help each other. and wether you like it or not many of us deploy applications to tomcat and stumble on this. So dont try to be cool posting this kind of answers like google this or google that if you dont have an answer please dont comment you will appear to be more noobish than you aparently are.
Well enough talking.
I found the following useful: (it comes in the server.xml of the tomcat configuration)

Enabling that entry on both machines should be enough.
Aparently the problem is not with apache. is with tomcat since it can't retain the session apache gives.

Apache, Tomcat and mod_jk2

Hi, I' m sorry I posted this topic in other forum( I made a mistake).
I 'm trying to create a cluster server using Apache and two Tomcat's instance. My problem is when I have to use the JK2 connector (reference http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/jk.html) because I need to compile some files, but I new in solaris and I don't know how to do it.
I downloaded the file from this site http://archive.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk2/
I'm using Apache 2.0.55, Tomcat 5.028 and Solaris 9
I need to create a mod_jk2.so file
Does someone help me?
Regards

I've only ever done this in windows. This page should take you through it ok though:

Hi,
I have same problem. But unfortunately there does not exist a solution.
You can read the explanation of this topic at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html#Non%20DBCP%20Solutions
Non DBCP Solutions. I understand Tomcat supports only MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle 8i but not DB2.
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/SmsDBDS");
Up to now everything is fine, ds is not null, but inside ds (password, url, username...) all of them are null
So when you execute conn = ds.getConnection(); there will be exception.
If you find any solution please inform me.

Apache and Tomcat

hi
i have installed apache 2.0 and i am trying to map tomcat into it by using the JK2 module. i have configured the httpd.conf file and workers file.
but it gives me the following error
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.0.49 (Win32) mod_jk2/2.0.4 Server at localhost Port 80
my httpd.conf file is as follows
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/> for detailed information about
# the directives.
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
# whole (the 'global environment').
# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
# which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
# These directives also provide default values for the settings
# of all virtual hosts.
# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
# different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
# same Apache server process.
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do not begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/logs/foo.log".
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid
# confusion.
### Section 1: Global Environment
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2"
# ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
# If unspecified (the default), the scoreboard will be stored in an
# anonymous shared memory segment, and will be unavailable to third-party
# applications.
# If specified, ensure that no two invocations of Apache share the same
# scoreboard file. The scoreboard file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#ScoreBoardFile logs/apache_runtime_status
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
PidFile logs/httpd.pid
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
Timeout 300
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
KeepAlive On
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.
KeepAliveTimeout 15
## Server-Pool Size Regulation (MPM specific)
# WinNT MPM
# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in the server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
<IfModule mpm_winnt.c>
ThreadsPerChild 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you

#ExtendedStatus On
### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents. e.g. [email protected]
ServerAdmin [email protected]
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
# redirections will not work. See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make
# redirections work in a sensible way.
ServerName cipl-soft2.unit1.cepha.net:80
# UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing
# URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.

Apache with Tomcat cluster

Hi, I integrated Apache with Tomcat Cluster on Windows 2000. I instalated mod_jk2.dll, created workers2.properties and configurated server.xml in Tomcat instances. If I try to reach my .jsp file, e.g. http://localhost/root/main.jsp, I get follow message from Tomcat: source root/main.jsp is not available. What�s wrong? Can anybody help me? Apache version: 2.0.47, Tomcat: 1.4.27

Well, the first order of business is to determine exactly where main.jsp is located. If it is at <CATALINA_HOME>/webapps/main.jsp, then it should be at http://localhost:8080/main.jsp. Bypass Apache and verify that you can get to the Tomcat specific pages first.
Basically, we're trying to determine a) the correct URL and b) whether the problem is with Tomcat itself, or with the connections between Apache and Tomcat.
Essentially, we can't tell you where your configuration is incorrect until you tell us what your configuration is. :)

Configuration problem?

Greetings,
this might well be a very stupid question to you who are in the knowing,
but this is my problem: I started using servlets (together with the Spring
framework) and JSPs using Tomcat 5.5 as the servlet container.
I configured everything by hand and the first rudiments of my application
ran quite ok. Someone advised me to use WTP (an eclipse plugin)
together with SpringIDE instead.
Being the good boy that I am, I installed the plugin and the SpringIDE
nature and all of a sudden my cripple HTML/JSPs were validated
which is a Good Thing (TM).
Except for one thing. A simple:<c:out value="${status.value}"/>doesn't work anymore, i.e. when the page is being compiled, the compiler
whines about:org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/jsp/sql.jsp(24,44)
According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute
value does not accept any expressionsIMHO that is just silly and would render the <c:out> tag useless if that
were true. I suspect the compiler is validating against some wrong
schema but I don't know how to fix it. Any takers?
FYI, I did include the taglib directives at the top of my JSP file:<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="/spring" %>Thanks in advance and
kind regards,
Jos (JSP beginner)

Hi, yes it can be very confusing! Any classes and
resources you put in jar files in the /WEB-INF/lib
directory of your WAR file are made visible to the
containing web application, but to no others, via a
WebappX classloader. Here is a link showing the
various classloaders tomcat employs and where they
look:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html
And yes, if the jar file contains a subdirectory
named meta-inf and that sub-directory contains .tld
file(s) then tomcat 5.x will read those files and
determine automagically (lol) what tags are available
to any .jsp page in the containing web application.
So if you look in the jars you will see these tld
files and their respective uri's. This is what I mean
when I say look in the spring jar and you will find a
uri you can use rather than declaring the taglib in
your web.xml file. Documentation wise I can't suggest
anything really as I've just sort of found this stuff
out as I've gone along.Well, all I can say is "chapeau" (hats off) and thank you very much. I did
as you advised and everything runs perfectly. It all is starting to make
sense now for me after being totally lost with this set-up. How come
there's no proper documentation available for all this and how come
there are so many (obsolete) versions roaming around?
It certainly doesn't make web-based programming feel like there are
solid standards around to help you out. All those contradicting tips and
hints all over the place, no authoratative documentation (I couldn't find
it for starters). This is like a rodeo where this web thingy acts as a
raging bull ... all those different technologies with all their different
versions in existence ... This makes program development another type
of voodoo instead of a science related activity. I suspect it's a "time to
market" type of thingy going on here ...
I hope you'll forgive me my little rant and I hereby thank you again a lot:
your hints, tips and advice have helped me tremendously and I feel I
have the courage again to dig deeper and deeper into this drifting world
of wannabe standards and versions and technologies ...
kind regards,
Jos

Apache/SSL Tomcat config weirdness...

I thought I read a post related to this recently, but I can't find it (the forum search is flaky lately), so I'm making my own post...
We have Apache 1.3 with mod_ssl for SSL, Tomcat 4.1.24 and mod_jk set up. Things work fine for most of this setup, except this weird thing happening with our pushlet servlet. The pushlet is a servlet that never closes and we push data to an applet client in the browser.
The JSP and other servlets (one that creates a chart image, for example) work fine. The weird thing is the pushlet servlet, on the other hand, will not work fine. It has multiple output modes: Javascript, Serialized Object and XML, and we use the Serialized Object mode with the client applet, but for some reason it is disregarding what mode we ask for only when using SSL. When we connect to Tomcat directly (we have port 8080 open for testing) without SSL, the pushlet stuff works fine as well. It seems that when we connect to the pushlet (testing by typing the URL in the browser) with SSL, it defaults to the Javascript mode no matter what we put in the query string of the URL, and Javascript not being serialized objects, the client barfs. (XML mode doesn't work either.)
It's made more weird because the debug statements we put in the doGet method of the pushlet servlet don't get written either in SSL mode, but they do in non-SSL mode. Very strange, cuz basically we figured the pushlet servlet is somehow not getting the parameters of the query string in the request (which is what I thought I saw a thread about that I mentioned before).
So clearly the obvious answer is that something isn't configured correctly between Apache and Tomcat. But I can't seem to figure out what. Any ideas?

I wouldn't say most... you've been pretty busy yourself...
One possible conclusion we've come up with is: We are using RedHat Linux 9, and I rebuilt Apache, mod_ssl and mod_jk myself on that system. But someone else installed it, and I recall (vaguely, and the someone else no longer around) that he had some issue running them with the mod_jk I built for RH9, so he ended up using the one we had from a RH7.2 installation (which the whole thing on a RH7.2 system works fine, SSL or not). He had said it was working with the RH7.2 mod_jk, but maybe he didn't check the right things, and I didn't follow up on it at the time cuz it wasn't important at the time.
So the thought is that maybe it's the mod_jk that's really causing a problem for some reason. Some incompatability in the builds for the OS versions. Why it's only during SSL connections, I don't know, but the rest of the config seems to be correct.
As for the SSL How-To, yes, I've looked thru it again (as I said, though, we have the same thing on an RH7.2 system is working fine, and in both cases I built Apache, mod_ssl and mod_jk from source for both systems). I'm considering setting up stand-alone SSL on Tomcat and taking Apache out of the loop to see if it works that way.
We have, however, pretty much ruled out the pushlet servlet (it's 3rd party code) as the problem. We have the source, and it's too simple in what it does to be messed up, and debug statements we put in don't seem to indicate any problem.
Well, more investigations tomorrow.

Apache with Tomcat and dispatcher class.

I have a MVC design set up with a controller and dispatcher class. I am trynig to forward the results to a specific JSP. If I run the design completely within Tomcat, then everything works great. I have a tomcat site set up called /jsp. My servlet is within the jsp site. So if I do http://localhost:8080/jsp/mypage.jsp it will bring up the page fine. I then submit to and action of /myservlet?action=test. The servlet/dispatcher classes process and forward the request to "/jsp/mypage_result.jsp". All is fine and dandy.
However, when I try to run this through Apache first let the MOD_JK2 send the JSP/servlet requests to Tomcat the dispatcher doesn't work. I alway get the ERROR 404 page within tomcat (see note 1 below). Even if I use a "./mypage_result.jsp", because the pages are in the same directory, I still the get the error. Can anyone help?
What I think is happening is that when I make the inital request of http://localhost/jsp/mypage.jsp the request gets sent to Tomcat from Apache. Tomcat processes the jsp page and displays the result to the client. The user submits the data to the servlet (through Apache which pushes it to Tomcat). The servlet/dispatcher code runs and then gets ready to forward the request on. Where I get confused or I am completely guessing is that when the forward method gets called. Does it forward the request on as a HTTP request or as a request within Tomcat? I would guess it is an http request and the request comes in through Apache which (depending on the worker2.properties file) will or will not forward the request to Tomcat. This is where the problem happens. On this forward in the dispatcher class.
Please help.
NOTE 1:
HTTP Status 404 - /mypage_result.jsp
type Status report
message /mypage_result.jsp
description The requested resource (/mypage_result.jsp) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/4.1.24

After reading the documentation for the getRequestDispatcher method it seems that the file you are forwarding to must be in the same context. Well if it is in the same context within Tomcat, does it mean it is the same when I am trying to use Apache?
Anyone out there go this to work?
Thank you in advance for reading my post.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.pool.impl.GenericObjectPool: method <init>()V not found
at org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:652)

Did anyone run into similar issue?

I found a problem in tomcat server
Apache Process Runner has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
how can i remove this problem?

Jim,
Thanks for all your help. Sure enough, an MOV file works just fine and I may have tracked down the problem: the video, I'm sure caused from the source tape, lags towards the end-it seemed like every time I scrolled towards the end of the AVI it would crash. Still seems mighty peculiar that it would crash the system each time.
Thanks,
Tim S.

Probably yes it is a configuration problem.
You have a JSP2.0 container? (eg Tomcat 5)
If your web.xml starts with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems,
Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
Replace it with this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
That should fix it.

Client authentication with apache+mod_ssl+tomcat

Hello.
My question is a little bit off topic.
I try to read client certificates with request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate"), but the result is always null.
Probably it's null because I have nothing on the session. So my tomcat does not have the certificate. I use apache + mod_ssl + mod_jk + tomcat.
And here is my question: how did you configured apache and tomcat so that tomcat has the client cert ?
Thanks.

usually u generate a keystore for client, and mention that in ur SSL connector of tomcat
in apache, we need to configure things in ssl.conf
