When I first tried to build a webapp, it was very difficult to understand how all these open source technologies connect together. I find these tools to be very powerful and well-written, but daunting to configure them for a useful project. I hope this page assists people in getting these technologies to work together. I hope this creates a larger user base and thus ultimately making these technologies better. This is my small contribution to these projects that many others contribute their valuable time and resources to.
My previous hosting abilities came to an end, and I needed a new home for my Documentation Project. A special thanks to ServePath for supporting my Documentation Project by donating the co-location of my server. They were very helpful, especially in providing me extra IPs so I could test out SSL deployment. They do various hosting scenarios, including Tomcat and Apache hosting. Check out ServePath hosting and if you do decide you like them, please use this link for ordering as it provides me as a reference, and I get a small referral fee.

Configuring Apache
Now that Tomcat is configured to listen to port 8009 for incoming AJP13 request, let’s tell Apache to actually talk to Tomcat using that port and protocol. This process, while not terribly complicated, is somewhat more complicated than Tomcat’s equivalent configuration, so I have broken it down into several sections.

My penguincares database was not starting after I did a major
reboot of my server. I pressed the power off and the computer
went down but postgres never came back. I figured something had
to happen after the reboot. I started the server using the /etc/init.d/postgres
script but it did not started. I found the solution online and as I had
suspected it was the wrong pid that needed to be deleted and recreated by the
init script.

Take care faithfull penguin readers
