This is a log of my installation/Compilation of Apache DSO with SSL, MM, and Tomcat 3.1 stable (source distribution), JSERV 1.1.1 on Solaris SunOS 5.7


Extra, extra!!!


The stuff here gets obsolete quite fast... I am busy with some other things right now and the tomcat 3.2 has to wait... Some people offer help. I am adding these comments here as I get them. I only post the meat here and cut other comments... Thanks...

Sir:

I used your instructions to successfully install the following
combination:

1) Linux Red Hat 6.1 (Intel)
2) apache 1.3.12
3) JServ 1.1.2
4) openssl-0.9.6
5) mod_ssl-2.6.6-1.3.12
6) mm-1.1.3
7) rsaref-2.0 (Question with RSA's patent expiring can new code be
used?)

I am not a lawyer, so I should not open my mouth since if you are not
a lawyer, you can go to prison if you give legal advice EVEN when you
admit that you are not a lawyer (nice setup, isn't it? But you cannot
expect anything else when lawyers not only interpret the law but
also make the law and execute it).

The patent for algorithms in RSAREF expired. The RSA Inc., passed
the RSAREF algorithms to PUBLIC DOMAIN, i.e., IMHO, you can reengineer then.
So, I will not use RSAREF anymore... OpenSSL has RSAREF built in.
So... in the openssl compilation, in the US, I will be changing the following
lines when I recompile Apache/SSL

   sub e)
   Goes away -- we do not use RSAREF anymore

7) Goes away -- we do not use RSAREF anymore

8) Compiled the openssl [if you are in Europe, you need to
   check the mod_ssl INSTALL for the no-idea option. Note RSA released RSAREF
   to public domain, so I do not have to use RSAREF in US (I believe --
   I may be wrong).

     cd /usr/local/apache1.1.12_tomcat3.2b4/sources/openssl-0.9.6

Subject: Thanks for helping w/ tomcat build

QUESTION: When building tomcat (v3.1) for apache (v1.3.12) under Solaris 2.7,
I do this (per the Tomcat documentation in the Tomcat distribution package
and from the jakarta.apache.org website): 

        > cd $TOMCAT_SRC_DIRECTORY/src/native/apache/jserv
        > $APACHE_HOME/bin/apxs -c *.c -o mod_jserv.so 

I get this output (with a real path listed instead of $APACHE_INSTALL_DIR):

        gcc -DSOLARIS2=270 -DUSE_EXPAT -I../lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED \
        -I<$APACHE_INSTALL_DIR>/include -c autochange.c
        gcc -DSOLARIS2=270 -DUSE_EXPAT -I../lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED \
        -I<$APACHE_INSTALL_DIR>/include -c ajpv11.c
                        :
                        :
        gcc -DSOLARIS2=270 -DUSE_EXPAT -I../lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED \
        -I<$APACHE_INSTALL_DIR>/include -c mod_jserv.c
         -o autochange.so mod_jserv.o jserv_wrapper_win.o \
        jserv_wrapper_unix.o jserv_watchdog.o jserv_utils.o jserv_status.o \
        jserv_protocols.o jserv_mmap.o jserv_image.o jserv_balance.o \
        jserv_ajpv12.o jserv_ajpv11.o autochange.o  
        
        apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=16711680

Attempting to explicitly change the options to gcc to build and link 
mod_serv.so by doing this:

        > gcc -fpic -SHARED_MODULE -I<$APACHE_SRC_DIR>/src/include \
          -I<$APACHE_SRC_DIR>/src/os/unix -c mod_jserv.c
        > ld -shared -o mod_jserv.so mod_jserv.o

Gives error:
        ld: fatal: option -h and building a dynamic executable are
        incompatible
        ld: fatal: Flags processing errors 

What should I do?

ANSWER:  Your question implies you read the Tomcat docs, but also
read the INSTALL file in the toplevel directory of the Apache source
distribution, especially the sections that describe '--enable-shared',
'--enable-rule' and '--enable-module'.  Also read "Apache 1.3 Dynamic
Shared Object (DSO) Support" (either from the Apache website or from 
htdocs/manual/dso.html that is included in the Apache source distribution).

To successfully build mod_jserv.so, do the following (following the
instructions in the 'installation/Compilation of Apache DSO...' document
available by clicking on the "New" link at 
        http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/apache/):

        1). Rebuild Apache to get an apxs script that works for
            building *.so files:

                > cd $APACHE_SRC_DIR
                > ./configure --prefix=<APACHE_INSTALL_PATH> \
                  --enable-module=so --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE \
                  --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max
                > make
                > make install

        2). Run 'httpd -l' from the bin subdirectory of the
            APACHE_INSTALL_PATH.  You'll see that the only
            compiled-in modules are http_core.c and mod_so.c.
            You'll also see a lot of *.so files in $APACHE_INSTALL_PATH/
            libexec.  The 'apxs' in $APACHE_INSTALL_PATH/bin will
            work properly for mod_jserv.so.

        3). If you want all of the Apache modules to be DSOs, 
            add the necessary LoadModule entries in httpd.conf.

                             OR

            If you really want your 'old' Apache binary (httpd)
            which probably has a bunch of compiled-in modules, but
            won't let .so's get built, go ahead and rebuild Apache,
            but BE SURE TO COPY THIS 'apxs' script somewhere (putting
            it with the Tomcat jserv src is good idea).

        4). Build mod_jserv.so as follows:
                > cd $TOMCAT_SRC_DIR/src/native/apache/jserv
                > apxs -c *.c -o mod_jserv.so
                > ld -G autochange.so mod_jserv.o jserv_wrapper_win.o \
                  jserv_wrapper_unix.o jserv_wrapper.o jserv_watchdog.o \
                  jserv_utils.o jserv_status.o jserv_protocols.o \
                  jserv_mmap.o jserv_image.o jserv_balance.o \
                  jserv_ajpv12.o jserv_ajpv11.o autochange.o \
                  -o mod_jserv.so
                > cp mod_jserv.so $APACHE_INSTALL_DIR/libexec

Subject: Apache + mod_ssl/openssl + tomcat

........

I've noticed a few features/bugs...

(a) mod_jserv doesn't pass the scheme when ssl is used, this causes a
problem when you use response.sendRedirect(), as if you don't specify the
scheme (https or http or whatever) most browsers seem to assume the
scheme should be http, and try to use http to connect to port 443. (you
are supposed to use a fully qualified url for send redirect anyway).

If you pull the scheme from the request it's always http. We've just fixed
this by guessing the scheme from the port number (this is passed via
mod_jserv)

From looking at the code it looks like the scheme isn't passed via Ajp12.

(b) The performance on a sparc of openssl on a sparc appears to be
appauling.
(I compiled it with gcc instead of the cc that comes with solaris)

When you do make test it says the server time for openssl is ~0.6 seconds
for 10 handshakes, compared with ~0.2 seconds on a pentium 500 (or there
abouts).

(this was on a 4*ultrasparc 400, though it didn't appear to be using more
than one processor)

I was wondering if you knew of anyway of compiling something to use
multiple processors, or even if apache has optimizations for multiple
processors.

==================================================================
Since some versions of software which I use in this installation are no longer available at original places, I am including them here. Of course, I can only include the ones which I am allowed to redistribute. I do it not because I think that you should use them, but because this description refers to these, and only these versions. Using some other versions may require some modifications in the installation procedure. You should, however, always try to use the latest versions, and I would be glad if you could send me the updates to this file. The original tar/zip balls of 3.1 Tomcat are in http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/src/. You can also grab my copies here:

The Tomcat and JServ are different servlet containers (engines).
The Tomcat implements the newer Servlet Specification (2.2) while
the JServ implements the older 2.0 Servlet Spec. I personally consider
Tomcat still experimental, while the JServ is a solid, production quality
servlet container by older.

Before, when I wanted to do development in Tomcat and run production
service on the same machine, I had to run two independent Apache servers:
one for JServ, and one for Tomcat. This solution allows you to serve your
existing Web Site in JServ, and do development in Tomcat ON THE SAME MACHINE
USING ONLY ONE COPY OF APACHE WEBSERVER.

I have been working
on getting Tomcat & SSL to work together for a while now.  Your paper
allowed me to put together the pieces I needed to finish it of properly.

The developers and apache seem to be always outdated when it comes to
documentation.  They've changed things already and your paper is also
outdated. Before you build Tomcat you must do the following.

Download XML 1.0.1 packages from java.sun.com/xml
Install it and add the following to your .profile
XML=/usr/jaxp1.0.1;export XML
CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$XML/jaxp.jar:$

This is a log of my installation/Compilation of Apache DSO
with SSL, MM, and Tomcat 3.1 stable (source distribution), JSERV 1.1.1
on Solaris SunOS heechee 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
  Apache -- the Web Server
  DSO -- Dynamic Shared Object (additional modules can be added/updated
         to Apache without the need to recompile the whole thing, similar
         to shared libraries, but DSO modules are not only called, but
         can call routines within Apache)
         
  JServ -- the Servlet container which is very well tested and tried
         which uses the older Java Servlet Spec 2.0. It is still the more
         popular servlet container for production sites.  
  MM  -- memory management or something like that - and add on to Apache
         and its modules to communicate via shared memory rather than files
         (faster). 
  SSL -- Secure Socket Layer - the encryption and certificate package which
         works with Apache
  Tomcat -- the Java Server Pages (JSP) and Servlet container which uses the
         latest Java Servlets spec 2.2, and the latest JSP spec 1.1.
         It is still being actively developed and has some "features".
You may want to read my FAQ on Tomcat 3.1 beta 1. since it will be
easier to follow this installation log. It is available at:
   http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/apache/tomcat3.1b1-faq.html

This stuff if based on INSTALL file which comes with mod_ssl
and on the 
  http://www.servlets.com/soapbox/techtips/
  December 8, 1999
  "Install instructions for Apache 1.3.9 with Tomcat 3.0"
by Jason Hunter.  

If you are outside US, please look into INSTALL which comes
with mod_ssl, since you do not need RSAREF and can use more
robust code [your 8) and apache configure will be different].

I use GNU tar. It may be called gtar on your machine. If you do not have it,
try to do: 
     gunzup some.tar.gz
     tar xvf some.tar
rather than
     tar zxvf some.tar.gz
 

1) Be a root... Run ksh or other sh, but not C-shell.

2) Installed Java 1.3 under Solaris 
    a) went to www.javasoft.com
    b) clicked on Products and API on the left bar
    c) at the middle of the page under COMPLETE PRODUCT LIST
       retrieved JDK at "JavaTM 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v 1.3" 
    d) used j2sdk1_3_0beta-solsparc.bin
          24932252 j2sdk1_3_0beta-solsparc.bin
       and saved it in /tmp 
    e) created a directory /usr/local/java3 and unpacked archive
          chmod 755 /tmp/j2sdk1_3_0beta-solsparc.bin
          mkdir /usr/local/java3
          cd /usr/local/java3
          /tmp/j2sdk1_3_0beta-solsparc.bin
    f) this created directory /usr/local/java3/j2sdk1_3_0beta
          mv /usr/local/java3/j2sdk1_3_0beta /usr/local/j2sdk1_3_0beta
          cd /usr/local
          ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1_3_0beta jdk1.3


3) Installed Java Servlet Development Kit 2.0
  Get the JSDK2.0  -- It is hidden someplace in the www.javasoft.com
  since they are pushing the new stuff. Go to:
     http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html
  Go to the very bottom of the page and select platfom for
  Java Servlet Development Kit 2.0  (Unix) and click continue.
  Then [ACCEPT] terms. Pick up HTTP download (or FTP -- which is
  usually faster) and you will retrieve a file
     jsdk20-solaris2-sparc.tar.Z = 318,426 bytes. 
  It is not really Solaris package file. It will work on any UNIX since it
  is Pure Java. Unpack this file in /usr/local, i.e.,
    cd /usr/local
    gtar Zxvf /path/where/you/have/it/jsdk20-solaris2-sparc.tar.Z
  This will create directory /usr/local/JSDK2.0.

4) Set your environment variables for Java (I am assuming you use
   some Bourne shell lookalike -- ksh or sh.

      JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.3
      export JAVA_HOME
      JSDK_HOME=/usr/local/JSDK2.0
      export JSDK_HOME
      PATH=/usr/local/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${JSDK_HOME}/bin:/${PATH}
      export PATH
      CLASSPATH=${JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/dt.jar:${JSDK_HOME}/lib
      export CLASSPATH
      
5) Make top directory for Tomcat installation. I did
     /usr/local/apache_t3.1 
   All presentation below assumes that. If you do some other, you
   need to remember when you use instructions below,

     mkdir /usr/local/apache_t3.1
     
6) I also made a subdirectory "sources" to have all needed sources in one
   place: 
     mkdir /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources
     cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources
   Put there all the tar files:

     wget http://www.apache.org/dist/apache_1.3.12.tar.gz
     wget http://www.modssl.org/source/mod_ssl-2.6.4-1.3.12.tar.gz
     wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.5a.tar.gz
     wget http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mm/mm-1.1.2.tar.gz
     wget http://java.apache.org/jserv/dist/ApacheJServ-1.1.1.tar.gz
     wget http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/src/jakarta-ant.tar.gz
     wget http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/src/jakarta-taglibs.tar.gz
     wget http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/src/jakarta-tomcat.tar.gz
     wget http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/src/jakarta-tools.tar.gz 
     wget http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/src/jakarta-watchdog.zip  

  and then unpack them as shown below:

  a) apache_1.3.12.tar.gz from http://www.apache.org/dist/
     gtar zxvf apache_1.3.12.tar.gz

  b) mod_ssl-2.6.4-1.3.12.tar.gz from http://www.modssl.org
	gtar zxvf mod_ssl-2.6.4-1.3.12.tar.gz

  c) openssl-0.9.5a.tar.gz from http://www.openssl.org
     gtar zxvf openssl-0.9.5a.tar.gz

  d) mm-1.1.2.tar.gz from http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mm/
     gtar zxvf mm-1.1.2.tar.gz

  e) rsaref20.tar.Z -- it is no longer distributed by RSA. I got it
     from my private museum. It is available from many places
     on the Web outside US. Search the Web FOR RSAREF 2.0, and you will
     find a dozen. 
       mkdir rsaref-2.0
       cd rsaref-2.0
       gtar Zxvf ../rsaref20.tar.Z
       cd ..

  f) ApacheJServ-1.1.1.tar.gz from http://java.apache.org/jserv/dist/
     gtar zxvf ApacheJServ-1.1.1.tar.gz

  g) tar.gz sources for tomcat 3.1 from
    http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1/src
    jakarta-ant.tar.gz      
    jakarta-tomcat.tar.gz   
    jakarta-tools.tar.gz    
    jakarta-watchdog.zip
    jakarta-taglibs.tar.gz 

    I untarred them as:
        cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources
        gtar zxvf jakarta-ant.tar.gz
        gtar zxvf jakarta-tomcat.tar.gz
        gtar zxvf jakarta-tools.tar.gz
        gtar zxvf jakarta-taglibs.tar.gz
        unzip jakarta-watchdog.zip
    While I do not need most of them, just in case, I got them all to
    be in sync when I need them. 


7) Compiled RSAREF library needed by openssl (since we are in US and RSA has
   a patent, and we cannot use the decent implementation of crypto
   libraries). If you are in Europe, you can skip this thing.
     cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/rsaref-2.0
     cp -rp install/unix local
     cd local
        edited makefile to have
           CC = gcc
	   changed  all (i.e., two {:-)} occurrances of cc --> $(CC)
           added -fPIC to CFLAGS
     make
     mv rsaref.a librsaref.a

8) Compiled the openssl [if you are in Europe, you need to
   check the mod_ssl INSTALL how not to include the RSAREF]

   cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/openssl-0.9.5a
   sh config \
    -L/usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/rsaref-2.0/local/rsaref -fPIC
   make
   make test

9) Compiled MM shared memory library
   cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/mm-1.1.2
   ./configure --disable-shared
   make
   cd ..

10) Configured  mod_ssl
   cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/mod_ssl-2.6.4-1.3.12
   EAPI_MM=../mm-1.1.2 \
     ./configure \
     --with-apache=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/apache_1.3.12

11) Configure and make and install Apache with DSO support:
   cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/apache_1.3.12
   SSL_BASE=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/openssl-0.9.5a \
   RSA_BASE=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/rsaref-2.0/local \
   EAPI_MM=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/mm-1.1.2 \
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache_t3.1 \
               --enable-module=so \
               --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE \
               --enable-module=most \
               --enable-shared=max \

     6. Common Name               [www.snakeoil.dom]:heechee.ccl.net
     7. Email Address             [www@snakeoil.dom]:jkl@ccl.net
     8. Certificate Validity      [365]:1001
    STEP 6: 3
    STEP 7:n
    STEP 8:n

  After I created the certificates, and after I did "make install" for apache
  I actually discarded them and copied over my previous certificates,
  from my original install of Apache. Always save your all certificates/keys
  since otherwise everybody who was using your site will have to go through
  accepting site certificates again. People do not like it.
  My previous certificates where 
      /usr/local/apache_JServ1.1-SC99/conf
  And I tarred them, and untarred them in the new directory like this:
     cd /usr/local/apache_JServ1.1-SC99/conf
     gtar zcvf /usr/local/certificates.tar.gz ssl*
     cd  /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf
     gtar zxvf /usr/local/certificates.tar.gz

12) edited a file in /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/httpd.conf and
    added (actually uncommented):
      ServerName heechee.ccl.net
    Then changed ports not to confilct with other servers I am running.
      Port 80  --> Port 7180
      Listen 80 --> Listen 7180
      Listen 443 --> Listen 7143
      <VirtualHost _default_:443>  --> <VirtualHost _default_:7143>


13) Testing if Apache works:
    a) make sure other installation of apache is not running,
       or if it runs, it does not use port 7180 and port 7143.
       (do: ps -ef | grep httpd), and if httpd runs, kill it either
       with its own apachectl script, or if you do not know what it is
       just find the PID of the httpd process which is owned by root:
          ps -ef | grep root | grep httpd
       (PID is in the second column of the output from ps). Kill it first with
          kill PID
       and then find all other apaches:
          ps -ef |  grep httpd
       and kill them one by one.

    b) start apache with:
       /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apachectl startssl
       If you have warning, you have a problem, and try to
       do "exactly what I say" next time {:-)}.

    c) Use your browser (preferable on some other machine)
       and check if http: and https: work
       In my case, I tried URLs:
         http://heechee.ccl.net:7180/
       and
         https://heechee.ccl.net:7143/
       In the https case you should get a lot of windows
       which ask you for accepting the certificate if you did not have
       https protocol from this site before, or with different certificates.
       Just click Next to the series of questions, and also mark
       "Keep this certificate forever" on one of the boxes.

    d) Stop apache, since you are not finshed yet.
       /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apachectl stop

14) Configuring and compiling JServ 1.1.1
     cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/ApacheJServ-1.1.1
     ./configure \
       --prefix=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/jserv \
       --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apxs \
       --with-jdk-home=$JAVA_HOME \
       --with-JSDK=$JSDK_HOME \
       --with-java-platform=3 \
       --enable-EAPI \
       --disable-debugging \
       --enable-compressed-jar

      make
      make install 

      cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf
          edit file httpd.conf and add a line at the very end
            Include /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/jserv/jserv.conf
      check if JServ works:
         /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apachectl startssl
      and see if the URLs show something:
        http://heechee.ccl.net:7180/servlets/Hello
        http://heechee.ccl.net:7180/servlets/IsItWorking
        https://heechee.ccl.net:7143/servlets/Hello
        https://heechee.ccl.net:7143/servlets/IsItWorking

    Seemed to have worked for me.


15) Building and installing tomcat

    Before building tomcat, the CLASSPATH had to be changed to:

        CLASSPATH=${JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar:${JAVA_HOME}/lib/dt.jar:
        export CLASSPATH
      I.e., the previous CLASSPATH needs to be zapped, and new CLASSPATH
      entered. It is done to avoid the class name clashes between
      JSDK2.0 (JServ) and (servlet pages spec 2.2 -- the tomcat).
      Tomcat does not use JSDK2.0 and should not see these classes
      in any way or you will have troubles.

      cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/jakarta-ant
      ./bootstrap.sh
      ./build.sh
      PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/jakarta-ant/bin
      export PATH
      ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/jakarta-ant
      export ANT_HOME
      cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/jakarta-tomcat
      ./build.sh

      This builds Tomcat with the top directory in:
      /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/build/tomcat
      I moved it to the main apache directory as:
      mv /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/build/tomcat /usr/local/apache_t3.1 


16) Starting stand alone tomcat and testing:

    cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/bin

    edited startup.sh to be:
   /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

    edited shutdown.sh to be:

   /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

    edited /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf/server.xml

    and changed port numbers, (to avoid conflict, I already had them
    used by something else):


<Parameter name="port" value="8080"/> --> <Parameter name="port" value="7280"/>

<Parameter name="port" value="8007"/> --> <Parameter name="port" value="7287"/>

    In fact, I am planning on taking the tomcat web server port out someday
    after I am finished testing, since it is unsafe. I keep it for debug,
    but later on all requests to tomcat will go only via apache's mod_jserv
    module.

    Then I did: 

    cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/bin
    ./startup.sh
      
    In my browser I called:
      http://heechee.ccl.net:7280/
    and it gave me the Tomcat examples page. Examples worked, so I shut down.

    cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/bin
    ./shutdown.sh


17) Create scripts which start/stop the venerable JServ1.1.1 engine in manual
    mode:
    cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin
    edited a file jserv_start

  /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/jserv_start

   Edited the jserv_stop:

  /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/jserv_stop

    and of course did:

      chmod 755 jserv_start jserv_stop

    I think there is some confusion here, so I will elaborate {:-(}
    Note that the jserv.properties file is read by Apache's mod_jserv
    module only when automatic mode is on (i.e., manual mode is off):
       ApJServManual off
    If automatic startup mode is disabled, (ApJServManual on), i.e.,
    Apache does not start tomcat or JServ1.1.1, this file is not
    read by Apache, i.e., putting the line:
       ApJServProperties /some/path/to/jserv.properties
    in httpd.conf (or one of its includes) is irrelevant. 
    You can put there whatever, but if "ApJServManual on" the file is not read
    in by apache. This is important, since we will have actually 2 different
    servlets containers/engines running, each with different configurations,
    though they both will be talking via a single mod_jserv to Apache.
    In our case:

                        _________  JServ1.1.1 (TCP server)
                       /           Listens on port: 7288 
                      /            Configured by reading jserv.properties
     (TCP Client)    / 
  Apache---mod_jserv \
                      \            Configured by reading server.xml/web.xml
                       \_________  Listens on port: 7287
                                   Tomcat 3.1 (TCP server)

    Note that while Apache is a server for external requests for Web pages,
    in this situation it is a client, since it first contacts the JServ1.1.1
    and Tomcat 3.1. What follows is that the JServ1.1.1 should be started
    before the Apache, and wait for Apache to contact them. Of course,
    this would not be satisfied if Apache starts the servlet container.
    In fact, it is quite irrelevant, since it is unlikely that the
    request for servlet/JSP comes before the servlet container is running.
    And even if, than what? User will see an error message... 

    You cannot start configuration with 2 (or more) servlet containers in
    an automatic mode. You can only start the single servlet container
    automatically (i.e. with (ApJServManual off) and have Apache read in
    the jserv.properties or tomcat.properties file. While it would be
    in principle possible, the current configuration options and syntax
    allows only for one properties file, for the container in the httpd.conf.
    Even if containers were identical and shared all properties and
    options, there is one thing they cannot share -- a TCP port number.
    Hence, in case of more than one servlet container, you cannot
    start them automatically from within Apache, you have to issue the
    command yourself. It has an important disadvantage. The Apache
    mod_jserv module was watching JServ running, and if by a reason of some
    crooked servlet the thing died, the Apache was restarting it automatically
    without human (or some other, say daemon) intervetion. Without Apache
    automatic mode, when servlet engine dies, a human, or some other
    program needs to restart it. One way of doing the is to use Mon:
        http://www.kernel.org/software/mon/
   
    In the manual mode, you have to provide JServ and Tomcat with   
    configuration files. You can see that in the scripts: jserv_start
    and jserv_stop, the file: jserv.properties is given on the command line as:
      java [-java_options] org.apache.jserv.JServ jserv.properties [option]
    You can see java_options by typing "java".
    The options to the org.apache.jserv.JServ are:
        -v ---  server version
        -V ---  server version with details
        -r ---  restart server
        -s ---  stop server
    And no option means: start server. You can get a lot more info 
    by consulting documents which come with JServ1.1.1 distribution,
    the official site:
        http://java.apache.org/jserv
    and: 
        http://www.magiccookie.com/computers/apache-jserv/

    As to Tomcat, the file tomcat.properties is present in the distribution
    in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat.properties. While I never started tomcat
    in automatic mode, I suspect, it is used when you have 
       ApJServManual off
       ApJServProperties /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf/tomcat.properties
    in httpd.conf or an Include file. It is my understanding that in 
    the manual mode (i.e., when ApJServManual on) this file is not used by
    tomcat at all, and tomcat is configured based on server.xml and web.xml
    in the $TOMCAT_HOME/conf directory.


18) Edited the /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/jserv/jserv.properties
    port=8007 --> port=7288
    zones=root --> zones=jserv111
    root.properties=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/jserv/zone.properties -->
       jserv111.properties=/usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/jserv/zone.properties

    The final file looked like:

    /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/jserv/jserv.properties


19) Edited the file $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat.conf , i.e.,:
  /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf to be:
  /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf

20) Added tomcat.conf to httpd.conf by adding a line:
     Include /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf
    at the end of /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/httpd.conf
    (I removed the Include line with jserv.conf)
    Also made some other changes in the httpd.conf. 
    After tomcat/apache is compiled/built, the default configuration of
    mod_jserv.c and mod_rewrite_c is wrong, since mod_jserv follows
    mod_rewrite (for details look up: 
        http://www.magiccookie.com/computers/apache-jserv/ )
    To fix it I put mod_serv before mod_rewrite in 

       LoadModule jserv_module libexec/mod_jserv.so
       LoadModule rewrite_module     libexec/mod_rewrite.so

    and

      AddModule mod_jserv.c
      AddModule mod_rewrite.c

    and commented out the line
       # LoadModule jserv_module libexec/mod_jserv.so
    in /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf
21) In the /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/httpd.conf I added some rewrite
    rules:
         <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
         RewriteEngine On
         RewriteLog /usr/local/apache_t3.1/logs/rewrite_log
         RewriteLogLevel 2
         RewriteRule ^/ROOT/examples /examples [R]
         RewriteRule ^/ROOT/test /test [R]
         RewriteRule ^/ROOT/admin /admin [R]
         RewriteRule ^/ROOT/ROOT /ROOT [R]
         RewriteRule ^/tomcat.gif /ROOT/tomcat.gif [R]
         RewriteRule ^/examples/servlets$     /examples/servlets/  [R]
         RewriteRule ^/examples/jsp$     /examples/jsp/  [R]
         RewriteRule ^/examples$     /examples/  [R]
         RewriteRule ^/admin$          /admin/  [R]
         RewriteRule ^/ROOT$          /ROOT/  [R]
         RewriteRule ^/test$          /test/  [R]
         </IfModule>
    for the HTTP (port 7189) and HTTPS (virtual host at 7143). It was needs
    to cure a problem that /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/webapps/ROOT
    is a Document Root for Tomcat, but for Apache, the 
    /usr/local/apache_t3.1/htdocs is the Document Root. Moreover, for reasons
    which I quite frankly do not understand the URL which like
      https://heechee.ccl.net:7143/some/directory
    which served by Tomcat, comes back as:
      http://heechee.ccl.net:7143/some/directory
    and the error is repported. However, when one rewrites the URL to add the
    slash after directory, i.e., 
      http://heechee.ccl.net:7143/some/directory/
    the things are working fine and HTTPS is used. Hopefully it will be taken
    care when Tomcat has support for HTTPS. 

22) Created new users, in my case webflow2, and webrun2, and groups for
    them, home diretories, and normal login regular environment.  
    The webrun2 was assigned /bin/ksh and webflow2 had tcsh as primary shell.
    Note, that when you execute the script as
          su - uid -c script
    the script will be executed with the default shell (i.e., the shell
    the user uid has assigned in /etc/passwd)  of the uid user, and it does not
    matter what you put in #!/bin/someshell on the top of your script.
    The script is sourced with default shell, not forked with a new shell. 
    The webflow2 will own most of the files in the web site, while the
    webrun2 will be the user who runs the Apache server, the tomcat, and
    the JServ. It will own log files and other files which the
    apache/tomcat/JServ  need to write. 
    In /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/httpd.conf I did:
       User webrun2
       Group webrun2
    Final version of httpd.conf was:
    usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/httpd.conf

    Also chown_ed to webrun2 the log directories:
      chown -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/logs
      chgrp -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/logs
      chown -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/logs 
      chgrp -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/logs 
    And for tomcat:
      chown -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf
      chgrp -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf
      chown -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/logs
      chgrp -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/logs
      chown -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/work
      chgrp -R webrun2 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/work


23) In /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin
    cp apachectl apache-tomcat-jserv
    and edited apache-tomcat-jserv to have a script to start/stop
    tomcat/apache/jserv 

    /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apache-tomcat-jserv


    chmoded apache-tomcat-jserv to be executable :
      chmod 755 /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apache-tomcat-jserv

24) Started the apache/tomcat as:
       /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apache-tomcat-jserv startssl

    and checked if http://heechee.ccl.net/examples and
    https://heechee.ccl.net/examples worked. They did, so I killed the
    server with:
	/usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apache-tomcat-jserv stop


25) changed permissions/ownership on the example directories
    cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/sources/build/tomcat/webapps
    chown -R webflow2 .
    chgrp -R webflow2 .
    cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/logs
    chown -R  webrun2 .

26) After all thise changes, the ports should be the following:

                    Orig       New     Files affected
    http(apache) --> 80   -->  7180    conf/httpd.conf

    https        --> 443  -->  7143    conf/httpd.conf

    http(tomcat) --> 8080 --> 7280     tomcat/conf/server.xml

    tomcat/jserv
                 --> 8007 --> 7287     tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf
                                       tomcat/conf/tomcat.properties
                                       tomcat/conf/server.xml

    JServ1.1.1   --> 8007 --> 7288     conf/jserv/jserv.properties    




27) The server.xml file in my case looked like:
    /usr/local/apache_t3.1/tomcat/conf/server.xml


28) Since starting/stopping apache+jserv+tomcat in this environment requires
    one to be a root, I created C. wrappers to start and stop the whole zoo.
    /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apache_start.c

   and compiled it with
     gcc -o apache_start apache_start.c
   as a root, and then added suid permissions to the resulting
   apache_start executable file as:
     chmod ug+s apache_start

   I did exactly the same with apache_stop.c
   /usr/local/apache_t3.1/bin/apache_stop.c

   Now, people do not have to have root access to start/stop Web Server,
   Tomcat and JServ

   I also added a C program killme.c which kills the processes which are
   running by user webrun2. It is indentded to be used after "apache_stop"
   to kill some runaway processes started by apache, Tomcat, or JServ.
   After compiling the program:
      gcc -o killme killme.c
   changed its user and group ownership to webrun2 and added
   SETUID permission bits
      chmod ug+s killme
   To learn which processes need to be killed, the user does
       ps -ef | grep webrun2 | grep -v grep
   (I actually saved this line as a shell script "killwhich" so they can
   just type: killwhich).
   and the user can kill the processes listed by previous command as:
       killme pid1 pid2 ....
   where pidn is the process id number in the second column.
   /usr/local/apach_t3.1/bin/killme.c
     

29) Since some of the work we do will involve CORBA, and we use the
    ORBacus from Object Oriented Concepts (http://www.ooc.com/)
    I created /usr/local/orbacus-3.3.1, created there subdirectories:
    JOB, JTC, OB, and jidl, and downloaded LICENSES/READMES and tar balls
    from ftp.ooc.com: JOB-3.3.1*, JTC-1.0.10*, OB-3.3.1*,
    jidl-3.3.1-solaris.tar.gz  and diligently unpacked them.
    a) cd /usr/local/orbacus-3.3.1/jidl
       tar zxvf jidl-3.3.1-solaris.tar.gz
       then made links:
        cd /usr/local/bin
        ln -s ../orbacus-3.3.1/jidl/idlcpp idlcpp
        ln -s ../orbacus-3.3.1/jidl/iordump iordump
        ln -s ../orbacus-3.3.1/jidl/irdel irdel    
        ln -s ../orbacus-3.3.1/jidl/irfeed irfeed
        ln -s ../orbacus-3.3.1/jidl/irserv irserv
        ln -s ../orbacus-3.3.1/jidl/jidl jidl    
    b) cd /usr/local/orbacus-3.3.1/JOB
       tar zxvf JOB-3.3.1.jars.tar.gz
       which produced:
            OBEvent.jar
            OB.jar
            OBNaming.jar
            OBProperty.jar
            OBTest.jar
            OBTrading.jar
            OBUtil.jar
       which will be later added to CLASSPATH
    At this moment, other files were not needed. 

30) I installed the old version of XML4J (xml4j_2_0_15) from IBM, since
    we have some older servlets to port. The IBM site
       http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4j/
    distributes only the newest stuff, and I know of now way to retrieve
    the older thing. But I had the old tar in my old instalation. So I did:
       mkdir /usr/local/xml4j
       cp .../xml4j_2_0_15.tar.gz .
       tar zxvf xml4j_2_0_15.tar.gz
    I linked doc directories to the Web tree
       cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/htdocs
       ln -s /usr/local/xml4j/xml4j_2_0_15/apiDocs xml4j-apiDocs

       ln -s /usr/local/xml4j/xml4j_2_0_15/TXapiDocs TXapiDocs 

31) Installed Xalan-J:
    Created directory and unpacked tar, and made links
      mkdir /usr/local/Xalan-J
      cd /usr/local/Xalan-J
      wget http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/xalan-j_1_0_1.tar.gz    
      tar zxvf xalan-j_1_0_1.tar.gz
    I made the docs available by this link below:
      cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/htdocs
      ln -s /usr/local/Xalan-J/xalan_1_0_1/docs  xalan-docs> 

32) Installed Xerces-J
      mkdir /usr/local/Xerces-J
      cd /usr/local/Xerces-J

      cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/htdocs
      ln -s /usr/local/Xerces-J/xerces-1_1_1/docs xerces-docs 

34) I also installed Cocoon from xml.apache.org, but I am exploring
    the matter further, since supposedly (but I am not sure at this time)
    cocoon uses the older versions of xerces which is
    not compatible with the latest one (the one  which I installed).
      mkdir /usr/local/Cocoon
      cd /usr/local/Cocoon
      wget http://xml.apache.org/dist/cocoon/Cocoon-1.7.4.tar.gz
    and linked the docs to the Web Root.
      cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/htdocs

      cp /usr/local/xml4j/xml4j_2_0_15/xml4j.jar .
      cp /usr/local/Xalan-J/xalan_1_0_1/bsf.jar .

      cp /usr/local/jaf/jaf-1.0.1/activation.jar .
      cp /usr/local/JCE/jce1.2/lib/jce1_2-do.jar .

39) I added and modified the JServ properties file:
      /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/jserv/jserv.properties
    to include jars. 

    /usr/local/apache_t3.1/conf/jserv/jserv.properties

40) Basic environment for working with Java on webflow2 account.
    Since the assumption is that all content for this Apache server
    is owned by user webflow2, beside some files which
    are owned by webrun2 (a user/group which runs Web server and 
    servlet containers).

    The webflow2 runs /bin/tcsh as default shell. The .cshrc file
    in the HOME directory is:

    /home/webflow2/.cshrc

    I provided short scripts which allow users to switch from
    java1.1 (for applets) to 1.2(latest production release)
    to 1.3(lastest beta) 
    /home/webflow2/bin/cjdk1.1 
    /home/webflow2/bin/cjdk1.2 
    /home/webflow2/bin/cjdk1.3 

    and have put the following aliases into .cshrc

alias jdk1.1 'source /home/webflow2/bin/cjdk1.1'
alias jdk1.2 'source /home/webflow2/bin/cjdk1.2'
alias jdk1.3 'source /home/webflow2/bin/cjdk1.3'

    e.g., typing:
      jdk1.1
    when you are logged in as webflow2 with set your environment
    to the Java 1.1 needed for applets compilation, and you can get
    back to Java 1.3 by typing
      jdk1.3
    And if you have problems with JDK1.3, you can always try the J2SE
    by typing
      jdk1.2

41) I also created the basic running environment for user webrun2.
    The webrun2 is running ksh and is not expected to be used often,
    though, during development, it may be used occassionally.
    The webrun2 user (see point 22 above) is the id which
    Apache/Tomcat/JServ are using to run. I created the .profile file:
    /home/webrun2/.profile
    and also the kjdk1.x which allow you to switch the release of JDK..
    /home/webrun2/bin/kjdk1.1
    /home/webrun2/bin/kjdk1.2
    /home/webrun2/bin/kjdk1.3

42) Created a script "cs" script to compile servlets and placed it
    in /home/webflow2/bin directory. The script is:
      /home/webflow2/bin/cs

    To run it, you should cd to the directory where you have your servlet
    source, and then execute: 
       cs MyNiceServlet.java
    You can also add more options to the the java compiler (javac) but you
    need to enclose it in quotes. For example, to have more output you can do:
       cs "-verbose MyNiceServlet.java"

43) I created a skeleton of the web application called SciPortal
    and mounted it as SciPortal under Apache DocumentRoot. My $APACHE_HOME
    is /usr/local/apache_t3.1. I created directory SciPortal under 
    $APACHE_HOME/htdocs:
        cd /usr/local/apache_t3.1/htdocs
        mkdir SciPortal
        cd SciPortal
        mkdir WEB-INF
        mkdir WEB-INF/classes
        mkdir WEB-INF/lib


44) For doc directories which came with commercial software, and 
    which are linked in the /usr/local/apache_t3.1/htdocs
    I placed the .htaccess file. The docs may have some copyright
    restrictions and I am too lazy to read the small print..

      /usr/local/WebRoot/jkl/.htaccess
