Obtaining mod_jk for Linux
Go to jakarta.apache.org and follow the “Source Code” link.
Get the release build of Tomcat (currently 3.2). At the time of writing, the relevant file is
jakarta-tomcat-3.2-src.tar.gz
Unpack the distribution:
gunzip -c jakarta-tomcat-3.2-src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
- You can do this anywhere, e.g. in /tmp.
- I do not particularly recommend you try to rebuild the Tomcat server itself from this release: it is much easier just to download the compiled, “binary” version of the server, as described in the lectures on Servlets.
