HowTo Apache 2.0.52 - Tomcat 5.0.19 Integration on SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server 9 (SLES 9.1) with opencms

I assume you have installed OpenCms (or any othe application) on SLES9
under /srv/www/tomcat/demoserver/webapps/opencms/.

To enable apache to talk correctly with opencms servlet do the
following:

1. enable mod_jk.so module by editing /etc/sysconfig/apache2:
a) search for APACHE_MODULES and add "jk" to the list of modules
b) run SuSEconfig --module apache2
c) test if jk is loaded in /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf

2. create jk.conf

a) touch /etc/apache2/conf.d/jk.conf

copy and paste the following to jk.conf

b) vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/jk.conf

--- start /etc/apache2/conf.d ---

<IfModule mod_jk.c>

JkWorkersFile "/etc/tomcat/demoserver/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "/var/log/tomcat/demoserver/mod_jk.log"

# Log level to be used by mod_jk
JkLogLevel error

JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /opencms/* ajp13


# The following line makes apache aware of the location of
# the /servlets-examples context

# The following line mounts all JSP files and the /servlet/ uri to

#JkMount /opencms/* ajp13

</IfModule>

--- end /etc/apache2/conf.d/jk.conf ---

3. edit /etc/tomcat/demoserver/web.xml

uncomment the invoker servlet and its mapping, which was commented

4. rctomcat stop 
and Change CATALINA_BASE to "/srv/www/tomcat/demoserver" by editing the
file
/etc/sysconfig/j2ee

5. rctomcat start

6. rcapache2 restart

7. browse http://localhost/opencms/opencms
