I don't think that's the issue. My httpd.conf has the following, inside a VirtualHost tag, for the url http://virtualhost/myApp:
<Directory "/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/webapps/myApp"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html index.htm </Directory> JkMount /myApp/*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /myApp/servlet/* ajp13 There definitely is an index.jsp file in that folder, and its a folder that Apache knows about, because it's in the Directory tag, and http://virtualhost/myApp/index.jsp is working on port 80. Apache does not serve index.jsp, nor does it direct requests to Tomcat unless you specifically put index.jsp on the URL. If there's an Apache tag or directive that I'm missing that would change this behavior, I'd love to know what it is, the salespeople here are on my back all the time about not being able to specify the URL without index.jsp on the end. Perhaps putting the JkMounts before the Directory tag would change the behavior.
