JkWorkersFiles is the main problem inside of a VirtualHost.  I don't know
about JkLogFile. JkMount is legal inside of a VirtualHost.

Subject: Bugzilla #512 is Bunk


> The following bug is not a bug:
> http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=512
>
> In httpd.conf, you cannot do this:
>
> <VirtualHost .... blah>
>      .... normal config for VirtualHost ...
>      Include /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto
> </VirtualHost>
>
> There are three main purposes of including mod_jk.conf-auto:
>
> (1) To get the mod_jk Apache Module loaded, as follows:
>       LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
>
> (2) To configure Apache for your Tomcat Contexts using Alias, Location,
> and Directory Apache Directives
>
> (3) To configure mod_jk itself using all the directives starting with Jk
> (JkWorkersFile, JkLogFile, JkMount, etc).
>
> The first (1) Apache directive is the problem: the LoadModule directive
> is illegal within the VirtualHost context.
> (See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule )
>
> The directives in (2) are definitely legal, but I don't know about those

> The bug was reported by someone using Apache 1.3.14; they recieved a

> contain Apache configuration info (a jk_server_conf_t).
> I am using Apache 1.3.17; I recieved this polite and informative (wow,
> from open source software?) error message:
>
> sudo /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
> Syntax error on line 8 of /usr/local/tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto:
> LoadModule cannot occur within <VirtualHost> section
> /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started
>
> Provided that the custom directives (3) will work within a VirtualHost
> context, the solution to this problem is to create a custom
> configuration file based on mod_jk.conf-auto, move the LoadModule
> directive into it, and then Include it from within your VirtualHost
> context.
>
> If the directives (3) do work, another option would be for Tomcat to
> change the code to not generate the LoadModule directive, which prevents
> this level of configurability, and just make people type it in.
