Installing Apache & Configuring Mod - JK (For Jboss Eap 6) : Verview

This document provides instructions for installing Apache web server and configuring it with the mod_jk connector module to serve as a frontend load balancer for a JBoss EAP application cluster. It describes downloading and compiling the necessary Apache binaries including httpd, APR, APR-Util and PCRE libraries. It also explains configuring the mod_jk.so module, editing properties files to define the backend JBoss nodes, and modifying the Apache configuration to route requests to the application cluster via mod_jk load balancing.
