This is how my tag ended up looking like: The Tomcat site has documentation on how to do that. Next, if you are using virtual hosts in Apache HTTP server, then you need to configure a virtual host in Tomcat’s server.xml.

I left it unchanged, but do take a look at it to see if there’s something you’d like to change. The configuration for mod_jk is in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/jk.conf. as I described in my previous post, if you are using separate Tomcat directories - one for Tomcat binaries and one for the config files and webapps, then tomcat_home should point to directory having the webapps. There, update the paths to tomcat_home and java_home. The configuration of thes processes is in /etc/libapache2-mod-jk/workers.properties. The Apache-Tomcat connecter uses worker processes to handle requests forwarded by the Apache HTTP server. But just to be sure, enable it explicitly: sudo a2enmod jk That should also enable the jk module in Apache. Install the Apache-Tomcat connector module: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-jk (The version of Apache HTTP server that I’m using is 2.2, from Debian Wheezy repositories). With that caveat, here’s how I got things working: Install and configure the Tomcat-Apache connector

So depending on your goal, the information in this post may not be sufficient. The official documentation ( here and here) is heavy on the various configuration options that are available, but doesn’t help much if you are looking for a simple example of how to configure Tomcat with Apache HTTP server, and then tweak that simple configuration as you need.

Note that the configuration described in this post is what worked for me. In this post, we’ll see how to use an Apache HTTP server in front of Tomcat 8. Previously, I wrote about installing Java 8 and Tomcat 8.
