Well I took the novice route and started all over again. I got Tomcat 4.1.12 itself back up and running, but without mod_jk installed. I haven't had a chance to get back to trying again today, but I will tomorrow. If I run into the same problems, I will post my entire server.xml file, and hopefully all you nice people will find something that my untrained eyes cant.
Maybe a little background on my project will help determine exactly what it is that I need. I have a site running on Apache 1.3.27 (mostly HTML, some XML) on RedHat 7.3. This site, through a connector, is pulling information from a UNIX system. That part works fine. I get to the last screen, where the connection to UNIX is broken, but not before I am passed a transaction number. I then direct the user to an HTML form, where I collect all their credit card information. This is the point I am at now. What I need to do from here is collect the info and transmit it to the payment processor through an API call, which I will either use servlet or JSP. Then I will display an updated page that varies depending on what the response is from the payment processor. All this over a secure connection of course (which from what I understand will be another battle). I then have to send the info I receive back to the UNIX system to be updated. (If anyone has any experience in a similar situation or any input regarding this project it is definitely welcome). Hope the background paints a clearer picture... Will post tomorrow when I try to set up mod_jk again. Thanks!

All this stuff (what appears in the logs, what services/connectors/etc. are running, etc.) all depends on what you have in your server.xml. For example, in there you can define one or more Service's, each of which can have one or more Connector's. When Tomcat starts up, you'll get a line in that log for each Service; so perhaps you only have one, and its name happens to be "Tomcat-Standalone" (the name is defined in the Service tag). That is one of the Service's that comes in Tomcat's server.xml "out of the box" (I think it has two, perhaps you've commented one out). Now, that name may be misleading, because it's arbitrary, and even with one Service you can have multiplce Connector's. So it may not just be Tomcat-Standalone that you are running. Connector's are basically access points into Tomcat, and they can either be standalone, like the HttpConnector, or through a web server, like Ajp13Connector. The new CoyoteConnector is kind of special, I believe, as it can handle multiple protocols (like both HTTP and AJP). So you should really look at what Connector's you have set up to see what should be going on. That's why someone suggested you post your whole server.xml, it will allow people here to get a totally clear idea of what you have setup. BTW, out of the box, Tomcat Standalone runs on port 8080. So whether or not you get something on that port depends on whether you have an appropriate Connector set up. And if you plan to always use Tomcat behind Apache, you might want to disable/comment out that Connector (although sometimes it's good to have for testing purposes). > -----Original Message----- > From: Turner, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 11:43 AM > To: 'Tomcat Users List' > Subject: RE: Apache-Tomcat mod_jk > > The mod_jk.conf file should take care of your JkMounts as well as your > LoadModule line, too. > > My bad, I just re-read your message....http://localhost works but > localhost:8080 does not?
