By Mark Rais, author of the new book Linux For the Rest of Us 2nd Edition.

Over the past few years, I have tried to focus almost exclusively on helping small companies and inquisitive users move to Linux. I realize that much of the hesitation to apply Linux in the business and home setting extends from five core myths. Yes, it¡¯s true that some people hesitate because they adore their Windows environment. But most users I have worked with tend to shy away from trying out Linux simply because they believe a myth.

In response to their concerns, and because more and more new and inquisitive users desire to try Linux but remain hesitant, I document these core five myths and put an end to the shameless ritual of attacking something that works.

The jakarta-tomcat-connectors binary download doesn’t work as expected.So, I download the src and build myself.
• install jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24. download http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.24/bin/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24.tar.gzand install it.

• installi httpd-2.0.47.tar.gz. download http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.0.47.tar.gz and install it.

• go http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.24/src/, and download file jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src.tar.gz

• untar jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src.tar.gz

• go under jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/util/, run “ant”

• go under jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/coyote/, run “ant”

• go under jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/http11/, run “ant”

• go under jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/jk/, run “export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/common/lib/servlet.jar” and “ant”

• under jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/jk/, edit build.xml, comment out the line ““, and run “ant native”. This will build .so files for apache2. (It mayfail, but all the necessary .so are built already.)

• copy jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/jk/conf/workers2.properties to /usr/local/apache2/conf/, and add the following at the end in workser2.properties file:

  [uri:/examples/jsp/*]
  info=Example webapp in the default context.
  context=/examples/jsp/*
  debug=0

  [uri:/examples/servlets/*]
  info=Example webapp in the default context.
  context=/examples/servlets/*
  debug=0

• copy jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/jk/build/jk2/apache2/mod_jk2.so to /usr/local/apache2.0.46/modules/

• copy jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.24-src/jk/build/jk2/jni/libjkjni.so to /usr/local/apache2.0.46/modules/

• edit /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf, add the line:

  LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2.so

• start Tomcat and Apache, “apachectl -k restart”

• try with http://localhost/examples/, and make sure that jsp and servlet files are working
