Hi Good Fellas,
Since you end up on this page, it means you might be facing some issues setting up an apache2 in front of tomcat using the infamous mod_jk. Yes there are times when as a programmer or a up coming system administrator (both my case) you are asked to setup a load balancer.
On the internet, one must admit that there are various ways to achieve this and after a couple of reading on different technics one becomes very confused. At the time of writing this blog, I haven’t found any concrete and complete tutorial on how to achieve it using ubuntu’s way of organizing files.
In this first post i will focus on how to install multiple instances of tomcat running concurrently each without conflict. we will be using
- openjdk-7
- tomcat6
- apache2
This post is split into 3 parts
- part 1 : Seting up multiples instance of Tomcat
- part 2 : Load Balance the instances with apache2 mod_jk
- part 3 : Preparing Servers for clustering
