Brad,

The way we have things set up on RedHat EL 3 is as follows:

- RedHat's Apache Web Server
- Ant  (downloaded & installed from Apache)
- Java (downloaded & installed from Sun)
- Tomcat (downloaded & installed from Apache)
- mod_jk (compiled & installed following Wiki instructions:
   http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ModJk )

When I first installed DSpace a little over 1.5 years ago this seemed to 
be the best way to do things on RHEL (since Ant, Java and Tomcat from 
RedHat were all outdated at that time).  In addition, at that time, I 
wasn't able to locate a mod_jk package from RedHat or anywhere else 
(hence compiling it from source).

It actually wasn't too incredibly painful to compile mod_jk to install 
it (the hardest part was finding all the prerequisites to get it to 
actually compile).  But, I documented it as detailed as I could on the 
Wiki, so hopefully it *should* be relatively straightforward.  Let me 
know if you hit any snags, and maybe I can help out.
