Tomcat and Apache with mod_jk-2 and virtual hosts

[paulx82]

I've read about 6-7 tutorials on the web about how to set up Apache with Tomcat using mod_jk, all of them different to each other. I feel stupid.

Here is my problem. I can get Tomcat running by itself. I have tried using mod_jk-2 to connect Apache and Tomcat and can bring up Tomcat Examples page using

http://localhost/examples/

However when I click on one of the examples to run it, nothing happens (the little blue bar at the bottom of IE very slowly gets bigger).

My mod_jk.log says:
[jk_connect.c (203)]: jk_open_socket, connect() failed errno = 61
[jk_ajp_common.c (626)]: Error connecting to tomcat. Tomcat is probably not started or is listenning on the wrong port. Failed errno = 61

And I get the following errors like below in localhost_log.txt:
The scratchDir you specified: C:\_\tomcat4118\work\Standalone\localhost:80\tomcat-docs is unusable.
The scratchDir you specified: C:\_\tomcat4118\work\Standalone\localhost:8000\tomcat-docs is unusable.
The errors are repeated for the other directories, webdav, manager, etc.


More information..........


When I startup Apache I get:
24/03/2003 15:42:36 org.apache.commons.modeler.Registry loadRegistry
INFO: Loading registry information
24/03/2003 15:42:36 org.apache.commons.modeler.Registry getRegistry

And part of my Apache httpd.conf for virtual hosts:

Listen localhost:80
Listen localhost:8000
NameVirtualHost localhost:8000
<VirtualHost localhost:8000>
ServerAdmin myemail@mail.com
ServerName localhost:8000
DocumentRoot &quot;c:/Apache2/htdocs2/&quot;
ErrorLog logs/htdocs2-error.log
TransferLog logs/htdocs2-access.log
</VirtualHost>


I have two host entries in my server.xml, one for each virtual host. They are identical except for the below:

Host name=&quot;localhost:80&quot; debug=&quot;0&quot; appBase=&quot;webapps&quot;
unpackWARs=&quot;true&quot; autoDeploy=&quot;true&quot;>
<Listener className=&quot;org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig&quot; append=&quot;true&quot; forwardAll=&quot;false&quot; modJk=&quot;c:/Apache2/modules/mod_jk-2.0.43.dll&quot; />

<Host name=&quot;localhost:8000&quot; debug=&quot;0&quot; appBase=&quot;webapps&quot;
unpackWARs=&quot;true&quot; autoDeploy=&quot;true&quot;>
<Listener className=&quot;org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig&quot; append=&quot;true&quot; forwardAll=&quot;false&quot; modJk=&quot;c:/Apache2/modules/mod_jk-2.0.43.dll&quot; />

I haven't posted my generated mod_jk.conf, because I think I've already posted enough.

I have only two ideas about what may be wrong...
Tomcat doesn't like host names with colons, such as localhost:8000, because it can't create work directories for them, is this correct?

This is wrong: &quot;INFO: JK2: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:8009 &quot; ajp13 should be listening on 127.0.0.1, is this correct?

Sorry for the long post and thankyou to any replies.

Also, here is my workers.properties file:

# BEGIN workers.properties
# Definition for Ajp13 worker
worker.list=ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=localhost
worker.ajp13.type=ajp13
# END workers.properties The discipline used to write things down is the first step in making them a reality.
