Hi John, Thanks very much, all is working now. I now have an index.html in each of the webapp directories that doe san onload to pick up the full path to the appropriate Turbine webapp index page. It refers to no particualr port so the JkMount is working.
One thing I did have a problem with was when I took your suggestion to not use full paths. I change my docBase in server.xml to be a relative path to the appBase value in the Host directive rather than the full path I had been using. I got a "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /rwtransform does not exist" error. I read up on the allowed docBase values and it says it can be a relative value to the appBase value, but it did not work, when I put in the full path it worked.
