You need to change your line in jserv.properties to match what you have
in httpd.conf
I'd suggest using the full path as you did below:
/usr/local/etc/apache/jserv.secret.key
Also, make sure jserv.secret.key exists. It is just a text file you
can create yourself. Fill it with random characters. I just let my
fingers type random keys. Others use a script like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
for ($n = 0; $n < $ARGV[0]; $n++) {
print (chr rand 256);
}
Others use:
w > jserv.secret.key
uptime >> jserv.secret.key
The choices are varied.
