Well, there you have it! Thanks, John. I figured this might do the job, but, despite my pleas, wasn't permitted to install anything I that wasn't an RPM due to my client's hosts' insanity :-( So, I insisted on a different box, and we're happily running with some RPM version or another.

Dang, and you can get all of the info you need for free, right here.


The number one problem everyone will have with Red Hat and the connectors, JK or JK2, is that Red Hat's Apache IS NOT a standard Apache distribution. It is a munged up distribution, and unless you know EXACTLY what Red Hat has done to the Apache source that they include with their distributions, trying to slam mod_jk in there or build JK or JK2 from source will be problematic at best, and impossible at worst. Red Hat branched Apache 2.0.40. They've (allegedly) applied all of the current fixes between .40 and .47 to their .40, but they haven't updated the version number. And who knows what else they've done.

The NUMBER ONE thing you can do to make this ALL GO AWAY is to SKIP Red Hat's Apache, and install Apache from source. Installing Apache from source is absolutely painless, and there are all sorts of step-by-step instructions for doing so available.

If you must use Red Hat's Apache, then probably the main problem you will have is the location of APR and apxs. You will need to figure out where those are, and give the correct locations to the ./configure script. You'll also probably need the actual RH Apache source RPM (httpd-devel??? I don't even remember now what its called), not just the RH Apache binary RPM. All of this stuff goes away if you just download Apache from source and build it...it has everything you need and everything you need gets put exactly where you can find it.

Though the information John sent you is definitely the right place to start, let me warn you that I, for one, never made Apache 2.0.40 work with Tomcat 4.1.24. I was on RedHat 9, and tried upgrading my Apache via RPMs, but got stuck in dependency hell! If you do make it work, please let me know how.
By the way, I know I wasn't alone because there's even a company selling a binary version that's supposed to tie these together for 199 Euros. We ended up switching servers before their email with the price came back, so I haven't tried it out. It's just interesting to me that someone's making cash on this problem :-)
To check it out go to http://www.activ8.at/knowledgebase/. Scroll down to "mod_jk2 on RedHat 9" and click Details.
Good luck,

I am using mod_jk to integrate apache and tomcat, and I am somewhat
confused as to what modifications I should make to tomcat's server.xml
file. I can only find such documentation on JK2, and not mod_jk. Is it the
same setup?...If someone knows any good online documentation or briefly
explain what changes I should make to server.xml, please do.
