I have simplified instructions, if you want I’ll email - here’s the jist of it, tho…
Brent
Install Tomcat (4.06 comes with BO6)
Install Apache (version 1.3.7)
Install Java SDK (version 1.3.1)
j2sdk-1_3_1_08-windows-i586.exe - from www.sun.com
Set JAVA_HOME system variable to folder where SDK is installed (E:\ Program Files\jdk1.3.1).
Modify Apache
Copy mok_jk.dll from BO Distribution disk to folder Apache\Apache\modules
Edit file Httpd.conf in folder Apache\Apache\conf - add these lines at end:
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.dll
JKWorkersFile “E:\Program Files\Tomcat\conf\workers.properties”
JkMount /examples/* ajp13
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
- E:\Program Files\Tomcat = tomcat home directory
Modify Tomcat
Create or modify the workers.properties file in Tomcat\conf folder
See following for contents of Workers.properties, the goal being setting up the APJ13 connector
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=localhost

ok…all ok
The problem was that during the the installation with configuration tool,the loc data folder ,about the node folder, was empty,than Bo was unable to resolve login.
Just copying the Bomain.key and the files .lsi in the right folder,everything work fine!!!
Thanks a lot to all

Steve, the doc states:
To have Tomcat generate the configuration file, start Tomcat with the “jkconf” option. Tomcat will initialize, write the configuration file, and then exit. This may be done while an instance of Tomcat is running.
Did you do this?
startup.bat jkconf
I guess if you just put Include line in httpconf and run this command, it doesnt work.
Let me know how you did this.

I have also had a difficult time setting up the server products with Apache and Tomcat. Thankfully, there are a lot of HOWTO’s out there but some of them can be difficult to follow for people such as me with no previous Apache or Tomcat exposure.
I found that the following HOWTO was extremely useful for me:
The author tells you how to set up the connector manually without using the automatic generation feature.
Using this I was able to get my Apache/Tomcat connection up and running and install the server products. Unfortunately, I still have a few glitches to overcome, but I am able to launch WebIntelligence and Log In successfully.
I also found that after installing and configuring the server products, a reboot was necessary even though the system doesn’t recommend that you reboot.
I hope this is helpful.

Hi Douglas,
Do you know how about BO performance using Apache and Tomcat? How stable BO is?
Thanks

I don’t have a concrete answer for that yet, but I hope to do some load testing after service pack 1 comes out. Tomcat seems to need recycling fairly frequently, tho - not sure how I feel about that…
