mod_jk for RHEL6 Rumi, April 20, 2012 If you have a RHEL6 box which ships both Apache and Tomcat6 you might want to connect the two together. You probably have looked around for mod_jk as a RHEL6 RPM or SRPM (src.rpm). You find that It isn't in EPEL, and it isn't in Red Hat Optional Server 6 RHN channel, etc. It seems that the new way forward with RHEL/Fedora world is to use mod_proxy_ajp. For example, the RH/Fedora project Spacewalk switched from mod_jk to mod_proxy_ajp. Note that mod_proxy_ajp is a core module of Apache 2.2 and newer so this should be a rather definitive/final change in recommended connector for Tomcat and Apache. Read the docs, but to get you started in configuration first you'll want to configure Tomcat's conf/server.xml file to have something like (which may already exist): <Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" /> And Apache with something like: <Proxy *> AddDefaultCharset Off Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/ Configurations (Linux) ApacheCentOSJKSRedhatTomcat
