Tomcat configuration

We describe how to configure an AJP connector in Tomcat that is used to communicate with the Apache HTTP webserver.

1 Creating an AJP connector

To make the Apache web server able to "talk to" Tomcat, an AJP connector has to be created.

Therefor, edit the file conf/server.xml in Tomcat's home directory and, if not already there, add an AJP connector as shown in the line below:

<Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

The connectors that are predefined by default, e.g., the connector for port 8080, should be removed or at least commented out.

To make the changes work, restart Tomcat.
