Ian Are you sure that sure that each of your transport and route declarations are in the correct sections of the config file? Make sure that your router configuration ONLY comes after the the line begin routers and that your transport config only comes after the line begin transports. The config file is not randomly parsed. There are definite discrete sections that need to be observed. It looks as if you have put your router definition in the transport section. Nathan Hallelujah! Nathan said let there be light, and a bulb appeared above Ian's head! That looks to be it, looking at the exim docs again, it's not clear anywhere that it needs to be inserted in certain sections. Thanks very much for that.

Hi List. Trying to get Apache 2 and mod_jk to play together. Getting the error /mod_jk.so: Undefined symbol pthread_mutex_unlock When I try to load the module Now, I've done the --no-verify. Remove from configure in mod_jk to get it to compile on freebsd properly but I can't get it to load. Apache2 runs and loads other modules fine, and tomcat 4.06 is running fine as well.
