Tomcat configuration is based on server.xml, which defines a lot of
things that have to be then defined, mirror-like, over in httpd.conf for
apache. So the easy way to get things working is to use the automatically
created file tomcat-apache.conf-auto.
However, this is not going to work for everyone. For example, my
apache modules are not found in the default location. So for me, I
need to use my own config file based on a renamed tomcat-apache.conf-auto.

The Howto you are talking about is not current. However, some people
stll need that jserv info.

No, that's wrong. the conf-auto file output is for mod_jk.so.

You need to follow the directions in the mod_jk howto. The directions
assume you know a little about both apache and tomcat standalone
configuration first before attempting to connect the two.
