Accidental Attractions

Note: You can get nice how-tos here. Much of this solution somes from there.

To connect Apache 2 to PHP, httpd.conf should contain:

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

(the php4apache2.dll file is part of the php install)

To connect Apache 2 to Tomcat 4.0.4:

In httpd.conf:

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.dll

JkWorkersFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Tomcat 4.0/conf/workers.properties"

JkLogFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Tomcat 4.0/logs/mod_jk.log

JkMount /servlet/* ajp13

JkMount /*.jsp ajp13

You can get mod_jk.dll from here.

Your workers.properties should contain something like:

workers.tomcat_home="C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0"

workers.java_home="C:\jsdk1.4.1"

ps=\

worker.list=ajp13

worker.ajp13.port=8009

worker.ajp13.host=localhost

worker.ajp13.type=ajp13

worker.ajp13.lbfactor=1

In Tomcat's server.xml:

Make sure there's an ajp13 connector defined (should already be there).

Create a context for your web stuff:

Note that the docBase is relative to the appBase, which is by default "webapps" in the tomcat directory. You can also simply define the default context (path=""), which is usedd when no other context matches.

Special note: after the connector's set up, you'll find tomcat.exe gets started as a service -- which makes it impossible to see debug info live and to easily restart it. To change this (should you wish), look at control panel/services and switch tomcat to a manually activated service.
