over the past 4 years I have developed a way of packaging a web application written in Java and deployed to Tomcat as a single, translocatable tar ball
I simply run a script to tar up the application along with all required resources including images, database, working server configuration, currently used JDK etc that
encapuslates the current state of the application. I can transfer the tarball to a new server, unarchive it, polpulate the
database set JAVA_HOME and start Tomcat on port 80 and it just works. It takes about an hour to install the entire application on a new server.
I use Tomcat as the front end server, no Apache httpd required. This application has been running faultlessly for nearly 4 years earning money and rarely falling over.
Currently I have the application running on a CentOS server with Apache httpd turned off running Plesk 8.0. I use Plesk to configure and manage email addresses. This has been serving me well for nearly 4 years.
Recently I had to move the application to a server running Plesk 12 and I can't get Plesk to give me access when Apache is turned off. I configured Apache to listen on port 81
but i still can't access Plesk. Why should this be.
