HOW TO INSTALL APACHE 2.0.45 and TOMCAT 4.1.x on WINDOWS XP

*If you are upgrading, uninstall old Apache and Tomcat COMPLETELY and reboot. Save your Apache htdocs and Tomcat webapps directories in another location and then add them back after upgrade)

1) Download

SDK

(j2sdk-1_3_1_06-win.exe) fromhttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html

(I see that 1.4.1 is available, haven't tried it with that yet--should be fine)

Run executable.I put java in default location

C:\jdk1.3.1_06

Set up the environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to there. (in XP: Start - Settings -Performance -System - Advanced - Environment Variables --in Win2000 there isn't a"Performance.." icon)2) Download

binary

apache-2.0.45-win32-no_ssl.msi fromhttp://httpd.apache.orgRun the msi as you would any exe.Apache default location:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\

3) Download

binary

jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24.exe fromhttp://jakarta.apache.orgRun the executable.Tomcat default location:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\

4) I used Tomcat to build the mod_jk.conf for me by:a) In

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\conf\server.xml

after

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">

type in:

<Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig" />

b) In

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\conf\server.xml

after

<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appbase="webapps" uppackWARs="true"... >

type in:

<Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig"append="true" />

5) Start Tomcat and

wala

a

mod_jk.conf

is created in

C: Program Files\ApacheGroup\Tomcat 4.1\conf\auto

6) Now that the

mod_jk.conf

is created comment out the lines you added to server.xml in Step 4.7) Put in

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\conf\jk

a

workers.properties

file for Apache to read as follows (use any TEXT editor):

# Start setup file#

workers.tomcat_home=C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1workers.java_home=C:\\jdk1.3.1_06ps=\\worker.list=ajp12, ajp13# Definition for Ajp13 worker#worker.ajp13.port=8009worker.ajp13.host=localhostworker.ajp13.type=ajp13## End setup file

8)At the bottom of the Apache's

httpd.conf

file (Start - Programs - Apache) I added a slightlyedited version of the generated mod_jk.conf

(I had to set the whole path for the jk_module to get it to work for me, but setting up an environment variable to Apache directory should work too)

:

<IfModule !mod_jk.c>LoadModule jk_module "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat4.1/bin/modules/mod_jk-2.0.42.dll"</IfModule>JkWorkersFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat4.1/conf/jk/workers.properties"JkLogFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 4.1/logs/mod_jk.log"JkLogLevel emergJkMount /examples ajp13JkMount /examples/* ajp13JkMount /webdav ajp13JkMount /webdav/* ajp13JkMount /tomcat-docs ajp13JkMount /tomcat-docs/* ajp13JkMount /manager ajp13JkMount /manager/* ajp13

9)Download mod_jk-2.0.42.dll from jakarta connector site It says it only works with Apache 2.0.42 but it works fine with Apache 2.0.45 (Thanks tohttp://www.acg-gmbh.de/mod_jk/for previously supplying us with a compiled version before jakarta did!) and put in

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\bin\modules

.10) Start Apache.* * *11) Optional: Remote SSH login into your Apache/Tomcat machine:

You can use Cygwin's OpenSSH SSH2 protocol to remotely log into your Windows computer.An excellent "how to" is already written here:http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.asp 12) Optional: Using MySQL with Apache/Tomcat:Download MySQL fromhttp://www.mysql.com/. I use the development alpha version 4 but thestable version is fine also.Download the MySQL JDBC fromhttp://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc.htmland save itinto

C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\common\lib

directory.I used the "stable" version". Set up the environment variable CLASSPATH to point directly tothe jar (not just the directory).Questions?salazar@nature.berkeley.edu
