Apache | Integrating with Tomcat (mod_proxy_ajp) | Apache Configuration (Connecting with mod_proxy_ajp)

Now only the Apache configuration remains. Because the integration uses mod_proxy_ajp, first change the configuration so the mod_proxy and mod_proxy_ajp modules are loaded.

Search for mod_proxy_ajp in the httpd.conf file, and you should find the following.

#LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
#LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so

If they are commented out, remove the leading #.

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so

This changes the configuration so the mod_proxy and mod_proxy_ajp modules are loaded.

Next, configure requests for Tomcat. When a URL beginning with http://localhost/hello/ is accessed, Apache will call the Tomcat file. To do that, first use Location as a section container and write the following.

<Location /hello/>

</Location>

For section containers, see Access Scope Settings (Section Containers).

Write the settings for accessing Tomcat inside <Location>. Because Tomcat connects through port 8009 using the AJP/1.3 protocol, write the following.

<Location /hello/>
    ProxyPass ajp://localhost:8009/hello/
</Location>

Writing this in the httpd.conf file completes the setup.

If it is displayed as above, calling Tomcat through Apache succeeded.
