4.4. Configuring the Environment

Procedure 4.4. Configuring Tomcat

1. Locate the tomcat configuration file:
   • For Tomcat 7: /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/etc/sysconfig/tomcat7
   • For Tomcat 6: /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/etc/sysconfig/tomcat6
2. Open the configuration file and delete the hash (#) sign at the beginning of the following line:

   # JAVA_HOME="/usr/java"

Procedure 4.5. Removing SSL

1. Go to /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/etc/httpd/conf.d
2. Rename the SSL configuration file:
   • To remove SSL, rename ssl.conf to ssl.conf.disabled.
   • To re-enable the SSL, rename ssl.conf.disabled to ssl.conf.

Procedure 4.6. Configuring log4j

1. Go to the /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/share/extras directory.
2. Copy the log4j.jar and log4j.properties files to the lib directory of the Tomcat directory:
   • If using Tomcat 6, run the following commands:

     extras]# cp log4j.properties ../tomcat6/lib/

     extras]# cp log4j.jar ../tomcat6/lib/

   • If using Tomcat 7, run the following commands:

     extras]# cp log4j.properties ../tomcat7/lib/

     extras]# cp log4j.jar ../tomcat7/lib/

Procedure 4.7. Configuring mod_jk

1. Create a workers.properties file in /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/etc/httpd/conf (refer to http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html).
2. Create a mod_jk.conf in /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/etc/httpd/conf.d/, (refer to http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html).

   Note

   You can also copy and modify the sample files mod_jk.conf.sample and workers.properties.sample available in /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/etc/httpd/conf/: modify their content as needed and rename them to mod_jk.conf and workers.properties.

Procedure 4.8. Configuring mod_cluster

1. Mod_cluster is part of the JBoss Enterprise Web Server 2.0 installation.
2. In /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/httpd/conf/httpd.conf add a hash (#) sign at the beginning of the following line to disable the mod_proxy_balancer module:

   LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so

   This module is incompatible with the JBoss HTTP Connector.
3. Configure the server to load the JBoss HTTP Connector modules:
   1. Create the file /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/httpd/conf.d/mod_cluster-native.conf.
   2. Add the following lines to the file /opt/jboss-ews-2.0/httpd/conf.d/mod_cluster-native.conf:

      LoadModule slotmem_module modules/mod_slotmem.so
      LoadModule manager_module modules/mod_manager.so
      LoadModule proxy_cluster_module modules/mod_proxy_cluster.so
      LoadModule advertise_module modules/mod_advertise.so
