Hi,

I’m having a great deal of trouble when trying to get Apache and mod\_jk to work with Tomcat.  
I have 2 Sles12 server, one with Apache and mod\_jk installed and another with Apache and Tomcat.  
I have verified the that Apache works on server one and that I’m able to access Tomcat pages on server two.  
So separately everything works.  
Then I want server one to be my “frontend” for Tomcat and therefore i have tried to configure mod\_jk.  
So far have I installed mod\_jk, verified that it’s loaded in to Apache and created and modified some config files..

Here is my config files

httpd.conf:

[CODE]…

### Tomcat server configuration

# 

Include /etc/apache2/mod\_jk/mod\_jk.conf[/CODE]

mod\_jk.conf:

[CODE]JkLogFile /var/log/apache2/mod\_jk.log  
JkWorkersFile /etc/apache2/mod\_jk/workers.properties  
JkShmFile /etc/apache2/mod\_jk/mod\_jk.shm

# The following line makes apache aware of the location of

```
# the /showcase context
Alias /sample "/srv/tomcat/webapps/sample"
<Directory "/srv/tomcat/webapps/sample">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted
</Directory>

```

# Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]

JkLogLevel debug

# Select the timestamp log format

JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "

# JK mount

#JkMount /sample worker1  
JkMount /_.jsp worker1  
JkMount /sample/_ worker1[/CODE]

workers.properties:

`worker.list=worker1
worker.worker1.port=8009
worker.worker1.host=sles12-lamp
worker.worker1.type=ajp13`

Since it’s my own test environment i have disabled firewalls and i have verified the communications between the servers, including adding host names to my local host file.

Cheers  
Björn

Did you check mod\_jk.log content?  
Did you get some error or warning message when you started apache?
