John,
Someone else noticed that too!!
I thought I was exceptionally dumb, since almost nothing worked like the
documentation said.
As it turns out, the docs seem to be an obstacle course.
I spent sooo many hours trying to figure that out.
I ended up downloading every single tomcat until I found one that would
work.
ok, I've just been looking at my Sol7 system to see what I can show you, and
guess what? I cleaned up every dist. except one tomcat, and it isn't the
tomcat that I actually got the mod_jk.so from. So, I want to help you, but
i've already covered my tracks.
However, there is a dist that has it in it, it's sort of like hidden prize,
you have to search a bunch of packages until you find where it's hiding.
One hint though, try downloading only .tar.gz files, and stay away from the
zip ones, I downloaded everything, and they seem to be different. One of the
developers also told me to download .tar.gz too for some reason.
What I think i did, is download the source, and look for afile called
solaris.sh or something like that.(i used a lot of find commands)
It's in a folder with lots of other build scripts. If you run it, with some
modification, it should produce a mod_jk.so for you. Then you can go back to
the other dist(not-src), after you put mod_jk.so in your apache/libexec dir,
and start apache, go to tomcat/bin and run tomcat.sh start and it might
start.
also make sure you include the correct conf file in apache. if you are not
using any jserv, use mod_jk.conf-auto and rename it to mod_jk.conf-local or
something, because tomcat creates its' conf files on every start, so if you
change it, and then restart, you'll be in trouble. yeah, so uh, have fun.
I'll check the list tomorrow ,
hope this has been humorous, if not a little helpful.
Bryan

Subject: solaris mod_jk
Hi,
I've been trying to make a build of mod_jk for solaris 2.6 however the
instructions at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/mod_jk-howto.html#s4 appear
to be very wrong. I downloaded the source but there is no /native/mod_jk
directory. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John
