Using Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk) on OSX

Last Updated on Dimanche, 25 mars 2012 06:59 Written by Henri Gomez Mercredi, 21 mars 2012 08:48

You’ll need first mod_jk installed, follow Building Guide.

Create /etc/apache2/other/jk.conf :

# Load JK Module
LoadModule jk_module     libexec/apache2/mod_jk.so
# JK workers.properties
JkWorkersFile /etc/apache2/other/workers.properties
# JK shared memory location
JkShmFile     /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.shm
# JK logs
JkLogFile     /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log
# JK log level [debug/error/info]
JkLogLevel    info
# JK timestamp log format
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "

Create /etc/apache2/other/workers.properties

worker.list=jenkins,watch,manage

# Set properties for worker jenkins (ajp13)
worker.jenkins.type=ajp13
worker.jenkins.host=localhost
worker.jenkins.port=8009

# status workers
worker.watch.type=status
worker.watch.read_only=true
worker.watch.mount=/user/status/jk
worker.manage.type=status
worker.manage.mount=/admin/status/jk

I choose to use VirtualName Hosting and so defined one into /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf :

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName  mbpbuilder.hgomez.net
    ServerAlias mbpbuilder
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mbpbuilder.hgomez.net

    ErrorLog    "/var/log/apache2/mbpbuilder.org-error_log"
    CustomLog   "/var/log/apache2/mbpbuilder-access_log" common

    JkMount  /* jenkins

</VirtualHost>

Building Universal Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk) on OSX

Build Universal Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk) for OSX follow tricks used for Apache Tomcat Native Library.

CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' APXSLDFLAGS='-arch i386-arch x86_64'

Here is a small script to do it :

curl http://mir2.ovh.net/ftp.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/tomcat-connectors-1.2.33-src.tar.gz -o tomcat-connectors-1.2.33-src.tar.gz
tar xvzf tomcat-connectors-1.2.33-src.tar.gz
cd tomcat-connectors-1.2.33-src/native

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' APXSLDFLAGS='-arch i386-arch x86_64'
make clean
make

Installation is pretty simple :

sudo cp apache-2.0/.libs/mod_jk.so /usr/libexec/apache2/

You could then restart your Apache HTTPd server to get new mod_jk used :

sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart

SSD or not SSD ?

My MacBookPro is quite old now :

• MacBook Pro 5.1 (Late 2008)
• Core2Duo 2.66Ghz

• Replaced original 4Gb RAM to 8Gb DDR3 (GSkill PC8500 SQ (1066 MHz), 7-7-7-20)
• Replaced original Hitachi 320GB/5400 RPM by a 500Gb WesternDigital Black Black 7200RPM (WD5000BEKT-75KA9T0)

I run GeekBench 2.2.7 and give me a bench result of 3752 :
