Introduction
This document describes the configuration files used by JK on the Web Server side for the 'impatients': workers.properties is a mandatory file used by the webserver and which is the same for all JK implementations (Apache/IIS/NES). WebServers add-ons to be set on the webserver side. We'll give here minimum servers configuration and an example workers.properties to be able to install and check quickly your configuration.
Minimum workers.properties
> Here is a minimum workers.properties, using just ajp13 to connect your Apache webserver to the Tomcat engine, complete documentation is available in Workers HowTo.
>       # Define 1 real worker using ajp13
>       worker.list=worker1
>       # Set properties for worker1 (ajp13)
>       worker.worker1.type=ajp13

Minimum Apache WebServer configuration
> Here is a minimun informations about Apache configuration, a complete documentation is available in Apache HowTo. You should first have mod_jk.so (unix) or mod_jk.dll (Windows) installed in your Apache module directory (see your Apache documentation to locate it). Usual locations for modules directory on Unix: /usr/lib/apache/ /usr/lib/apache2/ /usr/local/apache/libexec/ Usual locations for modules directory on Windows : C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\modules\ C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\modules\ You'll find a link to prebuilt binaries here Here is the minimum which should be set in httpd.conf directly or included from another file: Usual locations for configuration directory on Unix: /etc/httpd/conf/ /etc/httpd2/conf/ /usr/local/apache/conf/ Usual locations for configuration directory on Windows : C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\ C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\
