Setting up Apache mod_jk in ssl VirtualHost
26 January, 2016
I'm having problem moving my apache mod_jk configuration form its own VirtualHost configuration into my main ssl configuration.
Yellowfin is working ok using a cname and it's own mod_jk VirtualHost configuration:
[code]
LoadModule jk_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/workers.properties
JkShmFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.shm
JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel info
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
ServerName
DocumentRoot /opt/yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT
DirectoryIndex index_page.jsp
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
allow from all
JkMount /* ajp13
[/code]
however because I want to embed my yellowfin reports in my main server pages which are ssl (can't mix http and https) I need to move my mod_jk configuration into my main ssl VirtualHost as a subfolder. I've tried the following changes, but I get a 'HTTP Status 404 - /yellowfin/' when trying to access https://
New server config:
[code]
...lots of my main ssl server config stuff...
Alias /yellowfin /opt/yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT
JkMount /yellowfin/* ajp13
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
allow from all
DirectoryIndex index_page.jsp
[/code]

This turned out to be an Apache Alias problem. Actually I couldn't get mod_jk to work with an Apache Alias, so I placed Yellowfin in the Apache DirectoryRoot (the original config but with ssl turned on) and used:
[code]
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/content/*" no-jk
Alias /content /path/to/content
[/code]
to enable the non-Tomcat content. Readers should also check (if they're using this technique) to see if they then need to add a RewriteBase /content to their .htaccess file.
