Effect on Apache & Tomcat after Multimedia installation.

Hello -

We are planning to install Multimedia components(Chat Server, email server, Interaction server) in our demo(Development) environment.

The issue is on the server which we are going to install multimedia, there are other software ( Impress , GIS) which actually uses these components(Apache & Tomcat).

I understand from the deployment guides, that multimedia components interacts with web application components( Apache & Tomcat ) and creates its own files in Apache installation directory.

Do this have any effect on other software functionality(Impress , GIS)?

Thanks in advance.

vinodgujja: You would install a seperate instance of Apache/tomcat then. You will need to change the default ports most likely and then configure MCR to use those ports. This way, you will ensure that it will not impact your other software.

Its possible you can use the same instance, but if you need any special configuration one and not the other, its easier to just two seperate instances.

Thank you, then how abt the apache_home and tomcat_home environment variables?

Again if they are used by your existing app, you would want the new install to use different variables. You should be able to configure these during the install.

Far as MCR, it will only know how to reach the instance via the TCP, so the variables are only used for the local install.

Thanks a lot …

Hello Daimonas-

Where we should change the default ports for apache & Tomcat ? Can you please let me know the file names…

The file you want to change is server.xml, it’s located the tomcat home directory/conf/

. You will see the following lines with the value specified below number, you can change them to any number that is not currently used on the server.

If you plan on using IIS along with apache and if your other install is already running the plugin for IIS, you will want to change this one too:

Shutdown port default is 8005.

Change shutdown port as well
