Apache mod_webapp with jboss-embedded tomcat

[sylvan]

Hello,

I can't manage to make work Apache mod_webapp with JBoss and Tomcat, from the distribution at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jboss/JBoss-2.4.3_Tomcat-4.0.zip

Anyone had success with it? How to start that daemon who replies to requests from Apache mod_webapp? There is the server.xml file of the Tomcat distribution, but it does not seem active in that setup. Is putting a new server.xml file in /jboss/something a viable option? Of course there is the mod_proxy option, but I'd not like to use it...

Thank you for your help,

Cheers,

-Sylvan

Change into the jboss/bin directory and execute the command "run_with_catalina.bat" (.sh on Linux)

Furthermore, none of the examples will work when you try to click on the links, the remedy is to create a war file and deploy it into the JBoss/deploy directory:

cd .../examples
jar -cvf examples.war *
cp examples.war $JBOSS_DIST/deploy

Don't ask my why :-) I just picked it up from one of the other messages posted here after searching for it for 2 days :-)

Well, this is clearly evident and it is what I did...

But it still does not work.

Thank you for your help,

I think there is a bug on that, I filled bug 505029

I believe you will find the info you require in this thread.

There seems to be issues with using mod_webapp. It seems a few have been successful and it may have something to do with the platform you are using. I use mod_jk on a 7.1 RH Linux box. I run straight Tomcat(alone) on another machine using mod_webapp and I almost think mod_jk works better??

good luck
