I guess the best way to test my theory is to try integrating Tomcat with Apache 2 yourself. There are real benefits for using RH's rpms, but if the integration takes too much effort, it may not be worth it. I haven't touched Tomcat for about 4 months now, but when I was working on my document for integrating Tomcat and Apache way back in May, I remember having considerable trouble with RH9's Apache 2, which led me to use Falsehope's rpms instead.

There are two compelling benefits to installing the RedHat rpms: 1) Updates and bug fixes can be installed automatically from the Red Hat Network (https://rhn.redhat.com/). 2) Startup and shutdown scripts are already configured and available.
I would like to weigh these benefits against any specific disadvantages to using the RedHat rpms.
I know, this is a tomcat list, but I think it's relevant.
Thank you, Mike

I am using RH9 with the Apache2 that comes with it. Recently I've installed Tomcat5 with mod_jk2 without too many problems (jakarta-tomcat-5.0.7.tar.gz and mod_jk2-ap20-2.0.1-1jpp.i386.rpm). Proper configuration of workers2.properties and jk2.properties is essential I believe. I got a few sites running as virtual hosts on Apache2 as well as on Tomcat5 and everything seems to be fine so far.

Quoting Mike Millson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have heard the claims before about not using the default Apache that comes w/ RH 9, but I have never seen any concrete evidence for not doing this. Do you have any specifics such as articles or facts that show the downside of using the default Apache that comes w/ RH?
Thank you, Mike

Hi Dave,
Do NOT use the default Apache that comes with RH9 ! According to some reports, there are some serious bugs inside it. I'm using RH9, but my Apache comes from Falsehope.com (http://ftp.falsehope.com/home/gomez/apache2/). It takes a bit of tweaking, but you can get the Falsehope rpm to play nice with Tomcat.
