Apache, Tomcat, Rails

It was easier than I thought it would be to install Java and Tomcat. With a few apt-get commands, I had both Java and Tomcat up and running. The next step was to serve Tomcat through Apache. This was done by using the AJP Connector. Tomcat is running with AJP connector port 8009 and I can serve up JSPs and servlet content through Apache who is listening on port 80. Pretty slick 🙂

It was even easier to get a Rails app up and running on WEBrick on default port 3000.

Next steps will be to serve Rails content through Apache.

Apache, Tomcat, Rails

Fresh start!

After trying to keep a blog numerous times already, I am committed to keep this one going!

It took me awhile to get setup after rebuilding my slice (I am hosted by SliceHost). Most of the time was spent having to google the commands I had to run and figuring out missing apache modules since this is all new to me. It’s been a good learning experience though 🙂

But after 4 hours, I’ve setup the following

  • 256mb Ubuntu slice
  • apache2
  • mysql
  • subversion
  • php
  • ruby/rails

Next steps are to get Java and Tomcat installed, as well as a sample Rails app up and running.

Fresh start!
