Introduction
I recently needed to simulate our production deployment environment in my local machine. Our production applications are running on Apache HTTP server. We deploy application on multiple tomcat instances and also different Tomcats for different URL name spaces. Apache HTTP server is responsible as front door for all these. Apache HTTP server connects to the tomcat with modjk over modssl. When Apache HTTP server receives a request, it checks for the requests and forward to the tomcat accordingly. This configuration is important for security and clustering.
This tutorial contains following section.
- Installing and configuring Apache HTTP server.
- Installing and configuring Apache tomcat.
- Installing and configuring modjk.
- Configuring modssl.
- Testing the environment.
