mod_jk unable to connect with tomcat9

  • 772

After unzip the tomcat9 package available on tomcat.apache.org, and have the mod_jk configured to this:

workers.tomcat_home=/opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.34
workers.java_home=/opt/jdk-13
ps=/

worker.list=ajp13_worker

worker.ajp13_worker.port=8009
worker.ajp13_worker.host=localhost
worker.ajp13_worker.type=ajp13

When I deploy a WAR to the webapps directory, and try access it, the browser shows this error:

in the mod_jk log, I got this:

my server.xml file has this section uncommented already:

<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector protocol="AJP/1.3"
           address="::1"
           port="8009"
           redirectPort="8443" />

if I try access with somethid like http://mydomain:8080/app for a webapp named app, works fine. without the :8080, which should make the access go through the mod_jk, I got the error.

anyone can tell me what is wrong here?

apache-2.4 tomcat9 mod-jk

  1. Adding secretRequired="false" to the <Connector> in server.xml fixed it for me.

    <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector protocol="AJP/1.3"
           port="8009"
           redirectPort="8443"
           secretRequired="false" />

  2. You're trying to connect via IPv4 (127.0.0.1 is the giveaway), but you tell Tomcat to listen on the IPv6 localhost (::1).

    Perhaps tell Tomcat to use IPv4 too (tomcat-to-bind-to-ipv4).

  3. I used the following:

    setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1

    You can use this command to check if it was set correctly:

    getsebool -a | grep httpd

    You should see:

    httpd_can_network_connect --> on
