I work in OSX primarily with mostly PHP. Normally I work locally using MAMP and virtual hosts setup in my httpd.conf so that I can point a browser to http://some-project and have as many projects as I need setup.

We have a project coming up where we need to serve JSP pages and I would like to set up my local apache server to serve only JSP files to Tomcat and everything else to MAMP using the same virtual hosts setup in:

~/applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

So far I have:

1. Successfully installed Tomcat

2. Placed mod_jd.so in

   ~/applications/MAMP/Library/modules/mod_jk.so

3. Added the module by placing:

   LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

in

~/applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

1. Created /Library/Tomcat/Home/conf/jk/workers.properties and added the following lines:

   workers.tomcat_home=/Library/Tomcat workers.java_home=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home

   ps=/ worker.list=ajp12, ajp13

   worker.ajp13.port=8009 worker.ajp13.host=localhost worker.ajp12.type=ajp13 worker.ajp13.mount=/*.jsp

2. added the following lines:

   JkWorkersFile /Library/Tomcat/Home/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile /Library/Tomcat/Home/logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel debug

to ~/applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

I cannot start my MAMP however when these last two lines are present in my httpd.conf.

Does anyone work like this?

Any tips?

Any clear ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
