The first thing I would do is remove apache entirely and remove any remnants
of mod_jk and mod_jserv from your system. Especially the binaries.
Best to start with a fresh installation environment than anything else.
Then download and build a new apache installation, making sure to enable DSO
support when you run the configure command, i.e.:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE --enable-mo
dule=so
from the apache build directory. After that just "make" and "make install"
as you would a normal Apache installation. In my experience I never use
pre-installed binary versions of 3rd-party applications as they usual
default some things I don't want, i.e. not having DSO support enabled and
such.
Next download the source distro of mod_jserv and do the configuration as per
the instructions
(http://java.apache.org/jserv/install/howto.unix_install.html):
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/jserv --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-jdk-home=/path/to/jdk --with-JSDK=/path/to/jsdk.jar --disable-debugg
ing
That line will enable the execution of apache's apxs, assuming you installed
apache in /usr/local/apache. If not then substitute the full path name to
apxs. After that you should be able to run "make" and "make install" and you
should have mod_jserv.so created. If not done by default, make sure the file
"mod_jserv.so" is copied into apache's libexec directory.
One of the other pitfalls I ran into when first working with tomcat was
havng problems with my jdk installation, if you're unsure of it then just
make sure
java -version
works without error and that "jsdk.jar" exists on your system. Other than
that it should work fine with default behavior.
