Hi

Having an issue trying to get tomcat to rendering the pages on my site
correctly.

I have my site set up using this guide http://www.brianbruijn.com/?q=node/12

So i have a file called music-explained.com in /etc/apache2/sites-
available containing relevant info, and have also added the following
data to /opt/railo/tomcat/conf/server.xml

<Host name="music-explained.com" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="/var/www/music-explained" />
<Alias>www.music-explained.com</Alias>
</Host>

My site displays fine on the homepage http://www.music-explained.com/,
but displays an error if I try to navigate to any of the internal
pages ....eg. http://www.music-explained.com/music-explained/index.cfm/artist/Michael-Jackson.

However, if I add 8080 to the domain in the internal pages, the
content displays, -eg http://www.music-explained.com:8080/music-explained/index.cfm/artist/Michael-Jackson

Wondered where I was going wrong with my config.

Thanks

namtax, your docBase in the server.xml path needs to match the same directory path as your apache config.

So, if all your files are located at
/var/www/music-explained/

Then that should be reflected in both apache / tomcat.

All of your files can live together in one single directory. If they're not, then, go make them live in one single directory. There's nothing wrong with letting them mingle.

Hi.

Am a bit confused. Which is the apache config? Is that the file
located at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Thanks

Please post your apache vhost config for music-explained. You've already shown us the server.xml part.

Ok, I'm guessing you're using some kind of panel to manage your website?

Ok, I'm backwards... your site is setup correctly, but apache httpd doesn't know what to do with index.cfm/something/something

It sounds like you setup apache tomcat to handle user friendly rewriting, but you didn't tell apache httpd what to do with it.

Do you know if you're using mod_ajp or mod_jk?

How are you forwarding from apache httpd to apache tomcat?

Im using mod_jk. I just followed the end bit of this tutorial..

http://jamesconstable.co.uk/web-development/installing-railo-3-on-tomcat-6-via-apache-2-on-ubuntu-804/

To be fair, i dont really understand all this stuff. All new to me.

Thanks

I believe you need to do this:

JkMount /*.cfm/* default

However, you should probably wait for Jordan to step in and confirm as I don't use mod_jk, so I'm not familiar with it.

Sorry, what I mean is... IN ADDITION to using JkMount /*.cfm, you should also add what I suggested.

Really appreciate your help.

I think I have solved the issue.

I just removed the jkMount setup and it seems to be working now.

I removed the line JkMount /*.cfm default from my sites apache vhost
config, then i removed the contents from the /etc/apache2/
workers.properties file/

Now its working.

Cheers.

What is the benefit of using this mod_jk? As I seem to have got it
working without it.

Sounds like you have mod_ajp running too because there's no way it should still be working when you remove mod_jk as well.

Do you have anything regarding ProxyPass in your httpd.conf?

Hi,

as you have used that tutorial mentioned in your first post, and then added some steps from the other one, you most likely had two versions of that workers.properties file.
One resides in /etc/apache2 and the other one in /opt/railo/tomcat, but only that one in the railo-install-dir is being used. Actually today i ran into a similar issue and found out, that only

 JkMount /*.cfm default
 JkMount /*.cfml default
 JkMount /*.cfc default
 JkMount /*.cfm* default
 JkMount /*.cfml* default

is missing in apache's virtual host file - and therefore in the tutorial itself.

AFAIK, the viviotech-installer installs mod_jk along with the other stuff needed. If you need it, I can eMail you my working vHost file. But
setting it up is fairly simple. Just take the template from Brian's tutorial, make your adjustments and finally add the JkMount-Stuff right before
the closing </VirtualHost> - that should make SES-URLs work as well.


HtH,
Hauke

Hi.

It seems to be functioning ok at the moment, so dont think I will use
mod_jk. All this is going over my head at the moment, but I seem to be
getting it working.

Thanks
