Hi; Well it turned out that the problem was that the apache front end was configured in a way that impacted the URI such that when it got to roller is was different (thanks to roller debug for the conclusion).
As I need all the help I can get. I would like to hear if someone had the same difficulties deploying roller 3.1 new post URLs system and maybe can share his solutions and ideas with me. I have posted a question to tomcat mailing list that describes my problem. Here it is (any feedback would be great): Hi; (using: centos, apache 2.0.52, mod_jk 1.2.21, tomcat 6) Recently, I encountered a problem with URIs that has 'non western European' characters (for example: http://www.somehost.com/roller/admin/entry/nofx_%D7%91%D7%93%D7%A8%D7%9A ). I noticed that apache was forwarding to tomcat a different URI than the original which caused problems in my site. Digging into the subject I found the JkOptions +ForwardURICompatUnparsed fixed my problem. However, I then encountered a different problem then. On the first hit, some images were not displayed in the browser (not served to it). So I checked the forums and found out about the JkStripSession. I figured it might help so I turned it on but nothing happened. My questions are: Should the JkStripSession help in this case? Was there a known bug in my apache/mod_jk versions related to this (couldn't find in bugzilla)? How should I solve this? The only thing I need is to be able to forward URIs with 'special characters' as is to tomcat for a specific application (context) I am really out of my element here so I would appreciate your help greatly.

This is pretty mysterious. If your database and Tomcat configurations are the same, then I cannot understand why the OS would make any difference. > Also, there is an exception throws (The stack trace below does not say > much so I can't understand the problem). That horrible exception just means that Roller has returned a 404 (and yes, I know, 404s should not cause such exceptions -- I'm working on fixing that now). - Dave
