Sorry - I guess I wasn't specific enough. The HTTP status code that I got from Apache was 200 hence the OK. I assumed that it was probably 200 since I was actually able to communicate with Apache itself, even though its request to tomcat was unavailable. Or unless I am missing something in my apache configuration to display the correct error page. If I check the headers sent using Fiddler, I get the following: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2007 18:04:51 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (White Box) Content-Length: 501 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 However, it is definitely not "OK" b/c my tomcat server is down. Do I have something foobar'ed in my apache config? Or is it a problem in my mod_jk params? If it makes any difference, I am running mod_jk v1.2.10 w/ Apache 2.0.52.
