I should point out that I have also commented out the <connector> entry
for port 8009 in the server.xml file for tomcat/conf.

based on all of my testing... almost a week now.

I came to the conslusion that this [error] means that apache is failing to
start tomcat.
the reason I surmised this is that, when I started tomcat using 'catalina
run' from a
cmd line.  I was getting an error on jkjni.  so, I compiled jkjni.dll, but
this just
made it worse because it wants to read the workers2.properties file and it
just
gets ugly from there... can't be right!
well... from many years of mainframe work and trying to create wrapper
processes,
I learned that typically if your wrapper process, when trying to start some
other process internally,
"see"s _any_ error it will claim failure even if the error is benign.
Therefore not starting your process.  So I concentrated on tomcat and
getting
it to start without any errors or Warnings.  (I don't know if its relevant,
but I did get
the 5.0.18 server/lib and bootstrap.jar.)  Using the previously supplied jk2
and having
commented the 8009 port connector from server.xml, tomcat will start without
complaint.

and... with the workers2 file previously supplied,
Now when I start apache, I no longer get an error message from mod_jk.
which I believe
means that it has started tomcat, but if you try to surf to one of the uri's
you will get a server failure
and the apache error log will spew messages about not being able to talk to
tomcat.
"[error] mod_jk.handler() Error connecting to tomcat"
this is what leads me to the fact that there is no connector configured
in server.xml for jni.  A search of the internet will produce all sorts of
references to jni_conenct.dll for tomcat 3.  and now you know the rest of
the story...

-- as a disclaimer -- :-)
    I was never good a chemistry because I refused to take notes as I went
thru the
    process of the experiment.  Meaning, that I am sure I have forgotten
something.
    feel free to ask any question, because I feel your pain!!!
