I too am running Linux (Fedora 1). Another chap posted after me having similar problems with Windows (IIS). I've confirmed that apache is running as user apache which belongs to the group apache. User tomcat of the group tomcat owns the tomcat directory (and I'm running tomcat as user tomcat). I've added the apache group to the tomcat group (I think) like this
#usermod -G apache,tomcat apache I read through some more of the Tomcat 5 docs last night and I'll give it another whack today.

Unavailable I had the same Error 503 on Linux (not Windows) and found that was caused by Apache running as Nobody. Apache couldn't write to the socket because the owner was tomcat and Nobody was not a member of the group tomcat. Check your apache error_log and see what it says. I have never run a Windows server so can't be more helpful.
