Eitan,
Glad it worked. Maybe I'll summarize the process a little more clearly.
To change the configuration:
1. Change server.xml to your desired config.
2. Stop tomcat
3. Start tomcat
4. At this point tomcat generates a new tomcat-apache.conf
5. Test the new config using "apachectl configtest"
6. Restart apache using "apachectl graceful"
7. When apache restarts, it will reload its config, including the
tomcat-apache.conf
hope this helps some ppl as well as you (o:
