Its fairly simple.

1) Make sure you have a connetor for port 8009

    <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
               port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
               acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
               useURIValidationHack="false"
               protocolHandlerClassName="org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler"/>

that will handle the apache hand off's.


2) Download mod_jk from the apache site.

http://apache.130th.net/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk2/binaries/

or

http://apache.130th.net/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/

depending on if your using apache 1 or 2.

3) Add this line to your httpd.conf

LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2.so

4) create a file named 'workers2.properties' in your conf directory. Here is where you tell apache what to send to tomcat. Mine looks like

[channel.socket:localhost:8009]
 port=8009
 host=127.0.0.1
 
 [ajp13:localhost:8009]
 channel=channel.socket:localhost:8009
 
 [uri:/*do]
 worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
 [uri:/*jsp]
 worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
 [uri:/admin/j_security_check]
 worker=ajp13:localhost:8009
 [uri:/clientV1]
 worker=ajp13:localhost:8009

your needs may vary.

4) start everything up and your set.

The mod_jk binary download comes with more full featured instructions, this is just a 1,000 foot view of it.

Here is a MUCH BETTER tutorial that hits all the details.

Use that.

Siberian,
Thanks for the information. This could prove useful.
Will try this with mod_jk2, apache, slide, and webdav shortly.
