Hi All



In my application, I have a scenario in which user can upload various files.
I am persisting these files on the File System itself. I need to make a http
interface on these saved files. Can I make use of Apache web server to serve
these files from the file system over http protocol? If yes, then please
suggest a optimal configuration to make Apache a typical file server.

Suggestion for an optimal configuration :
- read the documentation at httpd.apache.org
- install Apache as per the documentation
- call up the starting page as per the documentation
- use the documentation to find out where this page is located on disk
- make some judicious logical deduction to figure out the answer to your
question

Yes. That's the basic function of a web server!

The default configuration should work just fine.

In order to display directory listings (indexes) of the files, you'll
want to /avoid/ using the DirectoryIndex directive (which tells Apache
to display an HTML page such as index.html etc. instead of an an index).

Check out:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html
and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html

In its simplest configuration, Apache will display directory listings of
the files at and below the web root and allow users to navigate the
directories and download any file by right clicking on it.

Have fun!

John

Thanks John,



My main app is running inside a Tomcat. My users will upload images, videos
etc on to the file system through my application running in Tomcat. I will
make use of a virtual host to directly point to these files through apache
web server. I will make use of this virtual host based URL of my files to
publish in the JSP pages.



Do let me know if my assumption and design scheme is fair enough.



Rgds

Nitin

Hi

I setup a web, which has one apache, two jboss, and one mysql, and
use jk mod to make load balance between apache and jboss, it works

But , when I reboot one of jboss, it take about 60seconds to 70
seconds for the jk manager to take the status of rebooted jboss as ok, in
fact, jboss take about 10seconds to reboot, and I am confused about how to
set worker.properties file in apache conf directory, and server.xml file in
jboss



Could you help me



thanks
