It took me some time, but it finally works. Apache2 (running on port 80) serving Laszlo-content from the LPS (actually Tomcat 5.0.24) via mod_jk.
You need to install Laszlo (the complete version with Tomcat, not just the core version). Then you need to “install” mod_jk, which is basically downloading mod_jk.so and placing it in the modules directory of Apache2. Next you need to modify httpd.conf to load mod_jk. And you need to create a workers.properties so that mod_jk knows how to connect to Tomcat. The more undocumented (that’s why it took me so long) thing is that you need to modify Tomcat’s server.xml to include the following line:
<Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" debug="0" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
I am having trouble following your advice. I cant get Laszlo to install. Should I have uninstalled Tomcat 5 first? Should I leave Apache 2.0.49 as it is? The Laszlo installer uses up 50% of my cpu and does nothing else!
Thanks
Mark,
Please talk to the Laszlo guys directly. I just tried to get it to work, succeeded and do nothing with it. I just wanted to test it, that’s all. I’m not an Apache nor an Tomcat expert.
As I stated, you need the Laszlo FULL-installation, with Tomcat. Not a previously installed Tomcat.
Thanks for visiting though.
