We now need to tell Apache to talk to Tomcat over AJP. You should note that since OS X Leopard (10.5), the Apache config and modules have been relocated. This guide is for Leopard and for Apache 2.2 (default on Leopard). Also note that the necessary modules are already installed into /usr/libexec/apache2. Thanks Apple
- Navigate to your Apache directory:
Code Block cd /etc/apache2
- Open httpd.conf and scroll to the large LoadModule section. Ensure you have the following uncommented:
Code Block LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_ajp_module libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_ajp.so
- In my httpd.conf, right at the bottom there is a line:
This will load in all other config files in the other/ directory. In the next step we will create an ajp.conf file and this line will load it. If you don't have this line, create it, or a similar line to load in the ajp.conf file we create in the next step. Save and close httpd.confCode Block Include /private/etc/apache2/other/*.conf
- Create an ajp.conf file. You could put the configuration for AJP in the main httpd.conf file but I prefer to keep things separated.
Code Block sudo touch other/ajp.conf
- Open ajp.conf and paste in the following:
Code Block ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost </Proxy> ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
- Adjust the port to be whatever the port is in your Tomcat AJP connector. Save and close.
- Once again, ensure you have the line in httpd.conf that is going to load this ajp.conf file.
- Restart Apache:
You should get no output, signalling the config is ok.Code Block sudo httpd -k restart
