    Hi, all

    I'm so newbie on Debian box.
    I have been following Popplewell's tutorial for configuring Apache and Tomcat with mod_jk.
    As a newbie, a tiny problem can make me frustrated.
    If anyone remember your newbie's sad memory, please help me.

    I got errors while I tried to do following steps:

    =======================================================
    root@myLinux:/usr/src/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.15-src/jk/native# ./buildconf.sh
    rm autom4te.cache
    libtoolize --force --automake --copy
    ./buildconf.sh: line 7: libtoolize: command not found
    aclocal
    ./buildconf.sh: line 11: aclocal: command not found
    autoheader
    ./buildconf.sh: line 13: autoheader: command not found
    automake -a --foreign --copy
    ./buildconf.sh: line 15: automake: command not found
    autoconf
    ./buildconf.sh: line 17: autoconf: command not found
    rm autom4te.cache

    =============================================

    Can anyone help me out?
    In order to create the custom configure file, what do I have to install on my Debian box before excuting "./buildconf.sh" ?

    Popplewell's tutorial url is:
    http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_tomcat5_mod_jk_p2

    Thank you in advance.

    It seems as if you don't have any development tools installed. Please install at least gcc.

    Thank you, Falko.

    But I have installed gcc and other development tools.
    Anyway, after I posted, I figured out.

    After install apache2-threaded-dev package, there was no problem.

    Thank you.

    This is an excellent "how-to" - quite possibly the best one available.

    As far as configuring Tomcat virtual hosts goes, is it possible to configure a "catch all" in the host field? This would be similar to the Apache <VirtualHost> directive in which one can create a wildcard in the domain, such as *.whatever.com to point to the same document base. Is such a configuration available for Tomcat?

    Tomcat requests hang

    Hi,

    I'm not sure if anyone's still watching this thread but I'd really appreciate any help you can give me with this setup. I followed all the instructions yet any jsp or servlet requests hang. The Java process sits at about 80-100% CPU consumption so I know it's doing something but I can't find anything in the logs.

    /usr/tomcat/default/conf/server.xml
    Code:
    <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
    
      <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener" />
      <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.storeconfig.StoreConfigLifecycleListener"/>
    
      <!-- Global JNDI resources -->

        <!-- Test entry for demonstration purposes -->
        <Environment name="simpleValue" type="java.lang.Integer" value="30"/>
    
        <!-- Editable user database that can also be used by
             UserDatabaseRealm to authenticate users -->

               factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"

    </VirtualHost>
    
    The other files I think are OK. Is there something here that's messing things up? Let me know if you need other files.

    I have changed the real public IP to 123.45.67.89 and the domain name to maskeddom.co.uk

    Thanks,

    Niall

    Problem sorted

    Hi,

    I've been playing around with the server since my post and I've managed to get things working. I toyed around with the apache2 virtualhosts and restarted the java services and things seem to be ok now.

    Thanks anyways,

    Niall
