Start tomcat
Wait a few seconds
Start apache

Tomcat auto generates a portion of the Apache httpd.conf, specifically Virtual Hosts
This takes a few seconds to generate, so wait a little

Apache httpd.conf has an include for the Tomcat virtual host additions


To add a new virtual host
1. Stop Tomcat
2. Stop Apache

3. Backup tomcat server.xml
4. Change tomcat server.xml for new virtual host
Copy <Host name="www.kathy-purcell.com"> ... </Host>
Change Host Name and any directory paths
5. Start tomcat
This automatically generates /usr/local/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf
6. Test new virtual host using port 8080 (port 80 will not work)

7. Backup apache httpd.conf
8. Look at /usr/local/tomcat/conf/auto/README for template on how to create the mod_jk.override.conf
9. Create /usr/local/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.override.conf
using the README template and /usr/local/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf
Principal changes are VirtualHost Name
10. Look at Apache httpd.conf to confirm that Include /usr/local/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.override.conf
is occurring and being called.
You can copy mod_jk.override.conf contents directly into httpd.conf for testing.
11. Start Apache (make sure that no VirtualHost warnings/errors are sent to sysout
To troubleshoot Apache Virtual Host Issues
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
12. Test new virtual host using port 80 (port 8080 should also work)

Note: Since the mod_jk.override.conf is being used,
You should be able to start Tomcat and Apache without much delay between them.
