Still trying to make mod_jk work, need help

[Jerry Ford]

I am not able to build mod_jk from source, because the configure script breaks on ltconfg, as noted in a previous e-mail.

So I took a compiled binary from a link on John Turner's how-to page and installed that. His link says its for tomcat 4.0, and I'm using 4.1.12, but John said previously that version numbers shouldn't matter.

Without mod_jk in the mix, I have Apache 1.3.27 running, and Tomcat 4.1.12 running, and both work. Apache answers to localhost, Tomcat answers to localhost:8080, and servlets and JSPs work fine. I have also had tyhe two connected with mod_webapp.so and everything works fine.

But when I put mod_jk into place and edit my server.xml file as instructed on John's howto page, Tomcat won't start. The Tomcat examples index pages do get displayed by Apache when I go to http://localhost/examples/servlets and ../jsp; I can even get my own HelloWorld html page in the Tomcat webapss directory to display. But the servlets themselves don't work, because Tomcat is not running. When I try to start Tomcat, I get the following error in catalina.out:

I'm pretty sure there is no syntax error in my server.xml file; and I have not touched the global web.xml.
But here's my server.xml file, in case anyone cares to look.

As an aside, I am also confused by the comment in the default server.xml that says to replace "localhost" with my Apache server name. Replace what? There is no instance of "localhost" in the example server.xml. What is the comment referring to?
