> Use mod_jk > > FYI In my humble opinion, its better not to use mod_jk. It was only good for apache 1 and no longer maintained. If you try, you will quickly realize you got to install from source, a bad idea in production system. Use mod_ajp, it come installed by default if you already have Apache installed. You need to enable proxy by uncommenting 5 lines somewhere near the bottom of http.conf. Remember to disable forward proxy else you become an open relay. You need to add 2 lines, starting with ajp and point them to tomcat by mapping it to the domain tomcat is servicing. By default, Apache will handle anything else that's not proxied through ajp Sorry on phone so don't have necessary lines to post for you > On Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 9:40 PM, Brian Ngure <brian(a)pixie.co.ke> wrote: > > > This should give you some ideas > > > > > > http://www.pixie.co.ke/blog/permalink/installing-jk-connector-for-tomcat-6-… > > > > > > > > On Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 9:30 PM, harry amwayi <harryamwayi(a)gmail.com >wrote: > > > >> hi techies > >> I have two applications one runs on Apache2 and the other on tomcat. > >> Is it possible to make the application running on tomcat6 accessible > >> without necessarlily having to specify the port number without > >> affecting the other application that running on Apache2? > >> > >> -- > >> Kind Regards > >> Harry Amwayi > >> _______________________________________________ > >> skunkworks mailing list > >> skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > >> ------------ > >> List info, subscribe/unsubscribe > >> http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks > >> ------------ > >> > >> Skunkworks Rules > >> http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 > >> ------------ > >> Other services @ http://my.co.ke > >> > > > > > > > > -- > > Regards > > > > Brian Ngure > > > > _______________________________________________ > > skunkworks mailing list > > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > > ------------ > > List info, subscribe/unsubscribe > > http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks > > ------------ > > > > Skunkworks Rules > > http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 > > ------------ > > Other services @ http://my.co.ke > > > > > > -- > Solomon Kariri, > > Software Developer, > Cell: +254736 729 450 > Skype: solomonkariri >

NginX and Apache
by Dennis Kioko 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

I remember this discussion coming here and some experienced developers brushing it as being inconsequential as the tool used doesn't matter as much as the application. Wappalyzer, aan application detection extension shows Nginx now serves half as many webservers as Apache, and almost as many visitors as Apache, traffic wise. The main advantage of Nginx is that it is a light weight web server - apache was written in the 90s when websites and servers were different from what they are today, in stuff such as multiple cores and threading. What you will find is that you can serve much more traffic on the same server with NginX compared to Apache, plu sit is relatively easy to use. So if you have resource constraints, you may experiment switching Apache for Nginx http://wappalyzer.com/categories/web-servers -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
