Can't find mod_jk
Last modified: 2008-04-09 14:28:41 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10 Description of problem: I've installed Apache 2 via up2date -- httpd-2.0.52-12.ent I've installed JBoss. Now I'm looking for mod_jk to hook the two together, but I can't find it. I've been guessing RPM names; is there a more effective way of doing this (in the same manner as Debian's "apt-cache search"?). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Apache 2 via up2date -- httpd-2.0.52-12.ent 2. Install JBoss 3. look for mod_jk in /usr/lib/httpd/modules 4. randomly type things into up2date to try to find mod_jk 5. Search Google for information; fail 6. Search RedHat knowledgebase for information, fail 7. Redister for JBoss web site 8. Search JBoss web site for information, fail Actual Results: No mod_jk Expected Results: up2date mod_jk should have installed mod_jk Additional info: Is there a liaison between RedHts & the JBoss developers? It seems that there could be more communication; I also noticed that JBoss's "redhat init script" is pretty broken...

Found a lead in the JBoss docs: it looks like not only is mod_jk2 deprecated, but now mod_jk is also deprecated. However, the replacement, mod_proxy_ajp is not going to be ready until Apache 2.1. See http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingMod_jkWithJBoss So I'm still left with the question: what is RedHat's way of hooking Apache 2 up to JBoss/Tomcat? Should I just go with a binary from here: http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/linux/jk-1.2.10/ I'm uncomfortable; I'd rather have an official RedHat package that is supported... Sorry about the dupe earlier by the way.
