Integration with httpd

[John-567]

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed Geronimo 2.1.1 on linux running in a Java6
JVM.  I have set up some virtual hosts and managed to deploy and run a
couple of applications (deployed as WARs) running inside Geronimo on one
of our test machines.  The tricky thing was creating the correct
mod_rewrite rules running in a virtual hosting environment.

However, when I create the configuration (same JVM, same version of
geronimo) and the exact same workers.properties file configuration along
with the correct mod_rewrites, in our production environment, I get a
404 when trying to access a basic URL.  I see that the URL is properly
translated according to the rewrite rules, however, the page cannot be
found.

I followed the configuration examples at:

http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/configure-apache-httpd-with-jakarta-tomcat-connector-modjk.html

Here is a snippet of my httpd.conf:

JkMount /appName/* default

Here is my workers.properties:

workers.java_home=/esa/java/jdk-1.6.0_04
ps=/
worker.list=default
worker.default.type=ajp13
worker.default.host=localhost
worker.default.port=8009

I have not altered the default geronimo installation configuration
beyond just unzipping the tar file.

The applications deploy and start correctly, however, I cannot access
them by their URL and I am interested in any help that might get me past
this...

Thanks,
John

I'm not very a very good resource for httpd integration. Is the network configuration different for your production environment? Is httpd running on the same machine as Geronimo? If so, does 'localhost' resolve properly? Can you access Geronimo directly (bypassing httpd)?

Hi Kevan,

Thanks for the response.  There is no difference in the network config,
both Geronimo and Apache httpd run on the same machine and localhost is
resolvable.  Also, I am able to access Geronimo directly using a URL
like: http://localhost:8080/console.

It's confusing, for sure.
