[ciapug] Apache Tomcat

[carl-olsen at mchsi.com]

I'm sure it will work, after reading this:

http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/connectors.html

It says Tomcat will run PHP (but difficult to install and configure), or you can have Apache proxy to Tomcat when you need JSP.  Either way will work, but neither way is as simple as running only Apache and PHP.  Apache is a lot more common than Tomcat, so the software is easier to use and modify.

I'll probably go with the Apache front end and proxy to Tomcat.  That's probably going to give me the least amount of down time.

Thanks for the help!
