Hi,
        I'm a newbie at the opensource thing, I have had the same issues and
grievances about the documentation, or lack thereof.  I have found the
following site an excellent resource for these issues.  Please take the time
to thank the author if you find this useful.

Subject: Pathing Problems


Hi

I'm having a heck of a time getting tomcat/apache(virtual host)/mod_jk
to work properly in a directory structure different than that laid out
in the example.  I'm relatively certain it's a pathing problem since I'm
pretty much guessing at what the values should be for the various paths.
I have read all the FAQ's and tomcat documentation but for the most
part, it's deals with using jserv and nowhere can I  find an explanation
of what docBase is supposed to be.  I've spent hours looking through the
archives as well.  If nothing else, the archive shows me I'm not alone
in my lack of understanding :p

Can anyone explain the relationship between apache DocumentRoot and
JkMount, ContextManager home and Context path and docBase?

System info: solaris 8, tomcat 3.2.1 (binary), apache 1.3.12, mod_jk

My directory structure looks like:

/web (contains 15 or so web sites, one for each virtual host)
        /tomcat2 (this is just the root directory for some website)
                /java
                        conf
                        logs
                        webapps
                                images
                                index.html
                                jsp
                                servlets
                                WEB-INF
                        work

My DocumentRoot = /web/tomcat2  and my ContextManager home =
/web/tomcat2/java.

My latest try (and I think I've tried every possible combination at
least twice).

        JkMount /java/webapps/*.jsp ajp13
        JkMount /java/webapps/servlet/* ajp13

        <Host name ="192.168.0.240">
                        <Context path=""
                        docBase="/web/tomcat2/java/webapps"
                        crossContext="false"
                        debug="0"
                        reloadable="true" >
                        </Context>
                </Host>


If anyone can clarify things for me I'd be eternally grateful.
