  • Rename apache-tomcat-5.5.12 to tomcat1 mv apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1

  • Copy tomcat1 to tomcat2 apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1 to apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2
    • cp -R tomcat1 tomcat2
    Adjust both tomcat1's and tomcat2
    • apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1 apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2

    • server.xml is located at:
    • /ucd/pkg/tomcat1apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1/conf/server.xml and /ucd/pkg/tomcat2apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2/conf/server.xml
    • Make the following port number changes for tomcat1apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1:

  • Change the serverId in sakai.properties for both tomcat1 and tomcat2 apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1 and apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2
    • Edit /ucd/pkg/tomcat1apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1/sakai/sakai.properties
      No Format
      From:

    No Format
    
    serverUrl=http://sakai2.ucdavis.edu:8080
    
    Note:
    Adjust the above port (8080) for http, https, or port 80 forwarding, etc.
    
  • We only run James on tomcat1apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1, so we need to disable it on tomcat2 apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2
    • Change the following line in: /ucd/pkg/tomcat2apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2/sakai/sakai.properties
      No Format

      smtp.enabled = true
      
      To:
      smtp.enabled = false
      
  • Make sure that you adjust JAVA_OPTS so that both JVMs have enough memory. In our case this will be:
    No Format
    setenv  JAVA_OPTS  "-serverd64 -Xmx1500m -Xms1500m -Xmx1500m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolicy 
    -XX:PermSizeNewSize=16m256m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m=200m -XX:PermSize=64m -verboseXX:gcMaxTenuringThreshold=3 -XX:+PrintGCDetailsCMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+PrintGCTimeStampsMinHeapFreeRatio=18"
    
  • When starting either tomcat instance, we have to make sure that we use specific CATALINA_HOME settings for each instance.
    • Starting tomcat1 Note that we set JAVA_HOME to Java v5 to run it in 64bit
      No Format
      cd JAVA_HOME=/ucd/pkg/tomcat1/bin
      setenvopt/java5
      export JAVA_HOME
      CATALINA_HOME =/ucd/pkg/tomcat1 ; ./shutdown.sh ; ./ startup.sh ; tail -f ../logs/catalina.out
      
      Starting tomcat2
      No Format
      
      cd /ucd/pkg/tomcat2/bin
      setenvapache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1
      export CATALINA_HOME
      /ucd/pkg/apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc1/bin/startup.sh
      CATALINA_HOME=/ucd/pkg/apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2
      export CATALINA_HOME
      /ucd/pkg/tomcat2 ; ./shutdown.sh ; ./ apache-tomcat-5.5.12-tc2/bin/startup.sh ;
      tail -f ../logs/catalina.out
      
  • Adjust "iptables" to allow traffic for both port 8180 as well as 8280
    • Adjust port-forwarding from "80 --> 8080" to "80 --> 8180" if necessary
    • Maybe restrict access to 8180 and 8280 only form the load balancer
  • Make sure that you adjust /etc/rc.d/rc.local to not just start one tomcat
