Hi john and geralyn, thanks for the warmly and prompt reply. I think now at least i know what is going on.However, i'm still unsure of the following things:
1) Based on John wonderful's Howto, i think you are using both mod_jk.so and mod_jk-2.0.43.so. I was wondering is it a typo or this should be the way. Kind of confused here when i saw version appearing on it. 2) I had tried downloading mod_jk2 source connector from jakarta website but i have problem building the connectors. I tried to build by first modifying the workers.properties to suits my configuration and then followed by invoking 'ant' command on it. It gave me this error, saying /usr/local/tomcat-jk2-connector/coyote/.... not found. My check with the folder is that there isn't such a folder named coyote. What should be the proper way to build mod-jk2? or can i just use the binary version available on apache website which is meant for apache 2.0.42, wherelse i'm using 2.0.46?
