Tomcat+apache Configuration under Windows

Tomcat, in addition to supporting Java servlet/jsp, can also be used as a Web server, but in the static HTML files, picture files, such as parsing efficiency is not as efficient as the Apache httpd execution. Server with Tomcat if the site has a large number of visits, system resource consumption will be significantly elevated, the author recently encountered this problem in the implementation of the project, they also think of the application of Tomcat+apache services. Apache is responsible for static resource processing, and Tomcat is responsible for the processing of dynamic resources such as JSP and Java servlet. Read a lot on the internet to introduce the Apache and Tomcat integration posts. Mostly for each other, there are several key issues are not clear, and most of the article explained in the version of the software are already relatively old. Therefore, the author summed up the experience of their actual operation, hope to help everyone.

installation, the sequence of software installation can be adjusted appropriately, but the JRE (JDK) must be installed before Tomcat:

1. Install JRE (JDK)

Java_home = d:\Java\jre1.5.0_06

CLASSPATH =.; D:\java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\dt.jar;d:\java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\tools.jar

PATH = D:\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin

Note that the file path should be changed to the path you actually installed.

2, Apache Installation

Note here that if you have IIS installed on this computer and use 80 ports, you must first stop or disable IIS in the service. Software can be installed by default.
