Rainer,
What is your platform and what is errno 13 on your platform?
###how would I find out? our platform is Fedora Core 3 for this server. Can you confirm, that tomcat listens on the port your worker p2 is
configured for (using netstat -n or a similar tool)?
###when I run netstat, it provides a bunch of results that I'm not sure how to interpret... do you know what I would look for here? Can you connect to the ip and port specified with p2 from your apache
machine with telnet?
###we have telnet disabled on the server, as it is not secure. the two processes are running on the same server (apache and tomcat). thanks, Kim :-)
