You say you have tried the: ErrorDocument 500 ./systemUnavail.html 
directive? We are using this and it works well when Tomacat is down.

Subject: Friendly error messages when Tomcat is down


Hi,

Like Robert Tansley in another message on the list earlier today, we're 
trying to get friendly error pages produced when Tomcat is down.

Specifically, we're using Tomcat 4.1.12 front-ended with Apache 2.0.43 
via mod_jk2.

We've tried various combinations of ErrorDocuments in httpd.conf but 
these don't seem to have the desired effect.  When Tomcat is 
unavailable, references to a JSP served by Tomcat produce the following 
page:

====
The servlet container is temporary unavailable or being upgraded
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and inform 
them
of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that 
may
have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error
log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
====

I've seen a reference to a "noWorkerMsg" and "noWorkerCode" in the 
documentation for jk2 which look somewhat promising but there's no 
explanation of what these do or how to use them.

Right now, we're stuck.  Any suggestions?

Regards,

Andy Ormsby
