OpenBSD mod_jk Package
Apache-Tomcat AJP Connector
Apache, chroot(2) and mod_jk:
Apache on OpenBSD is chrooted by default into /var/www. When restarting
Apache (i.e. apachectl restart) mod_jk will not be reloaded because mod_jk.so
resides outsite of /var/www. All Apache DSO modules have this problem.
mod_jk AJP13 Basic Setup:
Steps 1-6 cover how to get mod_jk configured to work with a single Tomcat
server (local or remote) where Tomcat serves both the static and dynamic
content for the default installed Tomcat contexts. If this is your first time
using mod_jk, start here and get this working first. This section assumes
that you have installed Tomcat and can access the examples context directly
(i.e. http://your.tomcat.host:8080/examples/).
1) Enable the module by executing /usr/local/sbin/mod_jk-enable with root
privileges (using sudo).
2) Copy /usr/local/share/examples/mod_jk/workers.properties to
/var/www/conf/jk/workers.properties (create /var/www/conf/jk/ if necessary).
If Tomcat is installed on another machine, edit and change the
`worker.ajp13.host' line to the hostname or IP address of the location of
Tomcat.
3) Copy /usr/local/share/examples/mod_jk/mod_jk.conf to
/var/www/conf/jk/mod_jk.conf.
4) Edit /var/www/conf/httpd.conf and add the following line at the end of
the file:
Include /var/www/conf/jk/mod_jk.conf
5) Stop and start Apache using apachectl(1)
6) Test mod_jk by accessing the url http://your.apache.host/examples/.
