Bug Description

Binary package hint: libapache2-mod-jk

Could you please provide a default jk.conf configuration file for mod_jk apache module.

This file should be found in default module configuration folder : /etc/apache2/mods-available/

This is for example a good start :

JkWorkerProperty worker.list=ajp13
JkWorkerProperty worker.ajp13.type=ajp13
JkWorkerProperty worker.ajp13.host=localhost
JkWorkerProperty worker.ajp13.port=8009

JkLogFile "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd/mod_jk-%d-%m-%Y.log 86400"
JkLogLevel info

JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories

JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %m %U %s %B %T"

I second this. It is confusing that every other mod is installed with a default config file and mod_jk is not.

my 2 cents,

Just spent hours trying to get mod_jk to work on a new Ubuntu box, when it worked fine on an old Debian server. I guess I just assumed that the packaged version of mod_jk had all the right files in all the right places. And you know what they say about assuming...

Please fix.

This makes my system work:

# cat /etc/apache2/mods-available/jk.conf
<IfModule mod_jk.c>
 JkWorkersFile /etc/libapache2-mod-jk/workers.properties
 JkLogFile /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log
 JkLogLevel error
</IfModule>

This package has provided example jk.conf file at /usr/share/doc/libapache2-mod-jk/httpd_example_apache2.conf
But I also think it would be better to have a copy in /etc/apache2/mods-available

Release 1.2.31 of mod_jk contains a nice default configuration in its source tarball. You can copy that one into your distribution. Oler releases of mod_jk didn't contain a useful default config.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
