I'm replying to my own message because I have sort of made some progress
I have found (by reading the mod_jk.log - which I should have checked
before) that mod_jk was failing to connect to a socket. I spent a long time
trying to figure out whi it couldn't connect as I could do it manually.
Eventually I realised that the latest version of mod_jk comes with a default
workers.properties file that is set up to use AJP14. Tomcat 4.0.4 doesn't
seem to support AJP14 and the connection refused was caused by this. All
the HowTos say you don't need to touch workers.properties unless you need to
do something unusual - this is not the case.
I have now got rid of the connection refused problem - but I still can't get
Apache/mod_jk to pass requests to Tomcat.
Could someone post or point me at a working workers.properties file as I
have now hacked mine arround and I'm not sure it is OK.
Also (going back to my orriginal problem) if anyone has any ideas why apache
isn't passing requests to tomcat I would love to hear them. I get nothing
in any of the Tomcat or mod_jk logs and apache returns a page not found.
Sorry to keep posting here - but I really don't know what's going on.
Thanks,
Anthony.
PS - What does AJP14 do ? I tried to find info but all I found was a faq
post saying AJP14 didn't exist as it was a failed experiment !?
