Install the GNU compilers gcc and g++, make utility to maintain groups of programs and httpd-devel package with the following command in rpm based linux.
yum install gcc* gcc-c++ make automake httpd-devel
Installation and configuration
Ensure Apache HTTP Server is not running
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
Download and extract Tomcat Connector to the following under /root
cd /root/
wget http://mirrors.kahuki.com/apache//tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src.tar.gz
tar -xvf tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src.tar.gz
cd /root/tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/native/
Build and install with the following command
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs; make; make install
Change permission of loaded module mod_jk.so
chmod 755 /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so
Create mod_jk.conf file in apache httpd server.
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_jk.conf
Copy and paste below lines.
LoadModule jk_module "/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so"
JkWorkersFile "/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/conf/jk/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "/opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/logs/mod_jk.log"
JkLogLevel emerg
Open workers.properties file in apache tomcat.
vi /opt/tomcat/conf/jk/workers.properties
Add ajp13 to workers.list so that the following line becomes:
worker.list=jk-status, ajp13
In mod_jk.conf and ssl.conf use mod_jk's JkMount directive to assign specific URLs to Tomcat. For example the following directives will send all requests beginning with /idp to the "ajp13" worker.
Open mod_jk.conf in apache server.
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_jk.conf
Copy and paste below lines at the end of file.
JkMount /idp ajp13
JkMount /idp/* ajp13
Now open ssl.conf file to setup redirection for secure connection
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
Configure mod_ssl by adding the following lines near the end, just before the closing .
JkMount /idp ajp13
JkMount /idp/* ajp13
Restart tomcat and apache
catalina.sh stop
catalina.sh start
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Thats all!...
The main advantage of this is you need to open only port of apache in firewall.
