Apache + Tomcat integration - please help!

External Since: Sep 16, 2003 Posts: 5

Hello,

I've spent a few days trying to get Apache and Tomcat work together via JK
module. First I followed the following HOWTO link:

http://www.johnturner.com/howto/winxp-howto.html

and managed to get Tomcat static html page load from Apache server without
specifying 8080 port, like this:

http://localhost/examples/

But when I substituted the IP address of the server host instead of
"localhost" (i.e. http://192.168.1.250/examples/), port 80 was not
redirected to 8080, and Tomcat page did not come up.

Then I tried another link:

http://www.greenfieldresearch.ca/technical/jk2_config.html

with the same end result: using "localhost" in the URL works. Using the IP
address does not.

And it all happens on the same host where both Apache and Tomcat run.

My environment: Windows 2000 Pro
Apache 2.0.47
Tomcat 4.1.27

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Alex,

I have exactly the same environment and exactly the same problem!
And like you I followed the how-tos you mentioned!
I've been trying to get it work since 3 days now...

Have you found a solution yet?
Please let me know.
Yours,
Flo
