OK, thanks. That's what I was asking...it wasn't clear to me from your posts how apache knew to pick up workers2.properties, and I have no experience with mod_jk2 (and no desire to try until things settle down quite a bit).

It if doesn't find it, it pukes. Under the site I have now (Apache1.3 with mod_jk) I have put the JkMounts in a seperate file and in the httpd.conf I have a line "Include /usr/local/tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf. The workers file is the same thing. You have a "Uri" mount instead of a JkMount which tells tomcat what content to mount. To mount an application you need five lines [uri:examples] content=/examples [uri:examples/*.jsp] [uri:/examples/servlet/*] [uri:examples/*] The first two tell Apache/Tomcat about the application and where the file are. The next two tell Apache/Tomcat what tomcat should be serving. and the last one I am not sure. (I do know that if it is not there, then it doesn't work) I have checked the log file for both apache and tomcat and I can see that apache serves the .html etc, which tomcat is serving the servlets and jsp's only. Hope this helps. On Thu, 2002-06-20 at 07:41, Turner, John wrote: > > That's what the JkMount directive does, it tells apache which requests to > send to tomcat.
