Subject: [users@httpd] apache mod_jk
setup
Hi all,
I am using a Solaris system on a college computer and would like to use
tomcat on it. On asking the admin he said that would look into setting mod_jk
on it but they said that running tomcat may put too much stress on the system.
I was advised to do the following but I do not have root access -
>Setup an apache2 in your home directory with it and we can redirect
all
>or part of your website to it so that you can try it out. If the
load
>isn't too bad I can then just copy your config over. If its more
than a
>./configure option for apache2 you'd also need to prepare a
package for
>mod_jk, which we can provide assistance
with.
>
>We would require some equivalent of suexec support for
security reasons
>and compatibility with mod_userdir and mod_rewrite (or
any workaround
>that gives the same functionality)."
I would be very grateful if anyone could please advise me on this and
maybe briefly comment on/explain some of the issues involved.
I have set up Apache 2.0 in my account but cannot run it as it needs port
80. It seems a bit odd that they (the admin) might suggest that I have to
install Apache 2.0 seeing as it already in installed on the server and I have
an account there. It seems a little more logical to me for them to install
mod_jk and maybe direct that to the tomcat in my account??!!
Regards,
James.
