Installation of Apache Tomcat Redirector

1. Download mod_jk redirector version 1.x (not 2.x) from: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2
   
   
2. Rename the mod_jk-[xyz].dll to mod_jk.dll, where [xyz] will be the specific version and build number.
   
   
3. Copy all .dll files to the Apache modules directory, which is: <apache-install>/modues
   
   
4. Open Apache configuration file, httpd.conf located at: <apache-install>/conf/httpd.comf
   
   
5. At the end of the httpd.conf file, add the following: include <tomcat-install>/conf/jk/mod_jk.conf
   
   
6. Open Tomcat configuration file, mod_jk.conf: <tomcat-install>/conf/jk/mod_jk.conf
   
   
7. Specify the exact path to the "workers file." Change jkWorkersFile <fill-path-to>/workers.properties to JkWorkersFile <tomcat-install>/conf/jk/workers.properties
   
   
8. Open Tomcat workers configuration file, workers.properties: <tomcat-install>/conf/jk/workers.properties
   
   
9. In workers.properties, complete paths to:
   
   

• java_home
  
  
• tomcat_home
  
  

This will allow you to specify each explicitly.
