configuration Mac, Apache, Tomcat, mod_jk ?

[teklectic]

I would like to configure my Mac Mini to host a few small java applications on the web. I can run the apps on Tomcat on my macbook pro but my big question is, to serve them on the web over port 80, do I have to use the mod_jk connector ?

I have been tryin to install apache, tomcat, postgres, and mod_jk using Macports/Darwinports but there is sparse documentation on the configuration for that setup and it's been problematic.

I am considering a native apache, tomcat install, but I'm still stuck wondering if mod_jk is necessary or if there is even an alternative to allow apache to talk to tomcat.

The default port used for tomcat is 8080 and you can change it to 80 in server.xml.
You can try to change it to 80 and test if it works.
