resin install w/apache no workie except on port 8080

[RedHat123]

im trying to get resin configured to run with apache. i want to serve JSP from the www/html directory of my apache install.

funny thing is - ive had it working before, but ive recently rebuilt my server and this time im making notes so it will be easier if /wheni decide to rebuild again.


the problem is that when i request a JSP file form the html directory of apache, i get the page source NOT GOOD! however, since resin is listening on port 8080, if i tack on the port number to the hostname, it works fine.

im going along with the instructions here:
http://www.caucho.com/resin/ref/cse-apache-unix.xtp

ive installed mod_cahuco.so and modified my app-dir in resin.conf to point to the apache html folder location. im still missing something.

i think i need to write up a detialed set of notes and post them so others can use the info i learned....ill do that soon. might be helpdful to add in setting up Java (envrio variables etc...)

anyway, the problem of fowarding JSP requests to resin from Apache can be caused by several things, one of which is either not having the right settings in httpd.conf OR resin.conf

now supposedly (acoording to the resin instructions) when you make mod_cauch.so, your httpd.conf is modified for you. I wasnt so lucky. fortuneatly the instructions also spell out how to modify httpd.conf manually. thats the route i took but i ran into the problem mentioned in the above post. my glitch was not having the path to resin.conf mentioned in httpd.conf inside of quotes. that one little detail caused probably 50 hairs to fall from my head.

the penguin is serving jsp now, or at least it will wheni decide to "go live"
