Installing Tomcat with Apache

OK, I've got Apache running on my windows box (like that's hard :p) and I've got Tomcat running independantly. But I just can't find any instructions of how to get Tomcat running as a module within Apache. The instructions on the Tomcat website are vague at best and they really don't help at all. All I could find was that I had to download the source for the connectors. But beyond that, I'm at sea. Anyone done this before?
Cheers,

If im understanding you corectly i think you should try this

Here goes.....

#================================
Software Used:

Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Apache 1.3.24-Win32
PHP 4.1.2-Win32
Jakarta Tomcat 4.0.3

#--------------------------------
Paths to software
#--------------------------------
Apache Path:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group

PHP Path:
C:\Program Files\php

Jakarta Tomcat Path:
C:\Program Files\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3

JDK:
C:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.0

#############################################
PHP ISSUE
#############################################
Apache is running fine until I add in the following three lines load PHP as a dynamic module...

LoadModule php4_module c:/Program Files/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Here's what I've done....
- I have moved the php4ts.dll to the winnt/system32
- Copied the file, php.ini to c:\winnt

In the Apache httpd.conf file I did the following....

-Put the LoadModule directive directly after the commented out LoadModule directives
-Put the AddModule directive directly after the commented out AddModule directives
-Put the AddType directive in the following location, in the httpd.conf file....

#
# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
#
AddType application/x-tar .tgz

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Hope that helps. sorry if it doesn't

Nope. That has nothing to do with what I'm trying to do. I'm not even trying to put PHP on my server. I just can't figure out how to load Tomcat as a module. Also, as far as Apache goes, I'm a total newbie, so I might need a little hand-holding.

cgkanchi,

Isn't this what you are looking for?

I've yet to find some solid doco on how to do this with the latest version of tomcat. A lot of the doco is pre version 4.1 and some of it is for the rpm install and some from source. It took me a lot of piecing together from various web site doco plus some hacking to get working. I might be able to help with more specific questions. Good luck. ;)

I think I got it *nearly* working from the instructions given on this site. Tomcat now runs fine but when I start Apache, it gives me the message: "Can't locate API module structure jk_module in file C:\windows\system32\mod_jk.dll". Of course, the file exists and I just can't figure out what's wrong. BTW, that url is a cached version of the doc as it's a .doc file and not a HTML page.

I'm so stupid! I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with Apache. However, I still have this problem. Apache runs without errors and even says "Apache/2.0.44 (Win32) mod_jk2/2.0.2 Server at localhost Port 80" in it's 404 messages. But now, Tomcat gives me the following errors:

Cgkanchi,
I am not really sure this one can solve your problem.
Can you try using java js2sdk1.3.1 or js2sdk1.2 instead of j2sdk1.4.1(you have latest version here) cause I tried using j2sdk1.4.1 for my*nix box but I've got error so I used oldest version of java, but I have no idea how to change that java versions for windows..

Thanks for the input sweet_angel, but that wasn't the problem. There were errors in the default server.xml of tomcat. However, having got that problem fixed, the damn thing still won't run. It gets to "Creating MBeanServer" and stops. The cursor continues blinking (ie the batch file doesn't freeze) but it just doesn't go any further than that. I've attached a copy of all the important configuation files in the attached zip file, so if someone would take a look at them and tell me what's wrong, I'll be really grateful.
Cheers,
cgkanchi
