What is the best way to install Mod_jk on linux to run apache in front of tomcat

Install modjk:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-jksudo a2enmod jk

Create workers.properties file:

worker.list=tomcat,tstatusworker.tomcat.type=ajp13worker.tomcat.host=[TOMCAT-IP HERE]worker.tomcat.port=[TOMCAT-AJP-PORT HERE]#status information (optional)worker.tstatus.type=status

Add this to httpd.conf:

JkWorkersFile   /PATH-TO-YOUR-FILE/workers.propertiesJkLogFile       /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log  JkShmFile       /tmp/jk-runtime-statusJkLogLevel      infoJkMount /YourJavaAppName       tomcatJkMount /YourJavaAppName/*     tomcatJkMount /modjkstatus tstatus

Now you should be able to access:

http://YOUR-IP/wordpresshttp://YOUR-IP/YourJavaAppName (redirected)http://YOUR-IP/modjkstatus (redirected)

These steps are for installing it in RHEL/Centos, Other things remain same from Stefan's answer
