How to install and configure GlassFish 3.1.2 With Apache 2.4 and mod_jk on seperate servers
glassfish_server:
hostname: gf.localdomain
ip: 192.168.1.200
apache_server:
hostname: web.localdomain
ip: 192.168.1.100
@glassfish_server:
packages that needs to be installed:
yum -y install wget unzip epel-release vim
make sure that epel repo is installed:
yum -y install epel-release
install openjdk-6:
yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
download glassfish 3.1.2:
cd /opt && wget http://download.java.net/glassfish/3.1.2/release/glassfish-3.1.2.zip
make sure that unzip command is installed:
yum -y install unzip
extract glassfish zip file at /opt dir:
cd /opt && unzip glassfish-3.1.2.zip
start glassfish domain:
/opt/glassfish3/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain
create an HTTP listeren on port 8009 and enable jk on it requires 2 commands:
/opt/glassfish3/glassfish/bin/asadmin create-http-listener --listenerport 8009 --listeneraddress 192.168.1.200 --defaultvs server jk-connector
note: 192.168.1.200 is my glassfish server public ip
/opt/glassfish3/glassfish/bin/asadmin set configs.config.server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.jk-connector.jk-enabled=true
restart glassfish domain:
/opt/glassfish3/glassfish/bin/asadmin restart-domain
use netstat command and make sure that java is listening on public ip and port 8009 like the picture:
now we jump to web server and apache, mod_jk configurations
@apache_server:
packages that needs to be installed:
yum -y install wget unzip epel-release vim telnet gcc
install telnet and make sure that web server is able to talk to port 8009 on GF server:
yum -y install telnet
telnet 192.168.1.200 8009
you should see a picture like this:
make sure that epel repo is installed:
yum -y install epel-release
install apache 2.4 repo:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ && wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jkaluza/httpd24/epel-httpd24.repo
install apache 2.4 and apache 2.4 devel packages:
yum install httpd24 httpd24-httpd-devel
source the enable file to let the system recognize httpd24 binaries:
source /opt/rh/httpd24/enable
download mod_jk:
cd /usr/local/src && wget http://mirror.tcpdiag.net/apache/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/tomcat-connectors-1.2.40-src.tar.gz
extract downloaded mod_jk file:
tar xvf tomcat-connectors-*
remove source file:
rm -f /usr/local/src/tomcat-connectors*.tar.gz
install mod_jk:
cd /usr/local/src/tomcat*/native && ./configure --with-apxs=/opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/bin/apxs && make && make install
create a module config file /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-modjk.conf then open it and paste the following content and save
LoadModule jk_module /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /opt/rh/httpd24/root/var/log/httpd/mod_jk_log
JkLogLevel info
create a worker.properties file /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties then open it and paste the following content and save
worker.list=worker1
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.port=8009
worker.worker1.host=gf.localdomain
worker.worker1.lbfactor=1
note: worker.worker1.host should equal the GF server ip or hostname gf.localdomain in our case.
add virtualhost file /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.d/gf.conf for glassfish and paste the following content into it and save
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName web.localdomain
JkMount /* worker1
</VirtualHost>
start apache web server:
/opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/sbin/apachectl -k start
make sure that your /etc/hosts file is able to resolve web.localdomain and the try with your browser and you should see this result:
