[CLUE-Tech] Some RedHat 7.2 questions

[Michael Robbert]

Sean,
I'm running Tomcat4 on RH 7.1 and I didn't even try to get it to listen 
on port 80. Maybe there is another way to run it, but I thought that it 
was supposed to be the servlet engine for Apache. So, that would mean 
that Apache listens on port 80 and Tomcat listens on 8180 or whatever 
other port you choose above 1024. The hard part was getting apache to 
send servlet requests to port 8180. These are the lines that I found in 
my httpd.conf:

=============================================================
LoadModule webapp_module        modules/mod_webapp.so

Addmodule mod_webapp.c


     WebAppConnection conn      warp  localhost:8180
     WebAppDeploy     examples  conn  /examples
     WebAppInfo /webapp-info
==============================================================
