Not with Apache 2.x but with 1.3.27 I've been able to make it work fine with
RedHat 7, 8, and 9.  Setting up mod_jk was tricky If I recall correctly. But
after doing it a few times it becomes much clearer how the pieces fit in.  I
also am using the autoconfig option of Tomcat which worked great!

First of all, I strongly recommend the new Tomcat book by Oreilly. 
Everything I needed to set it up was in there.  They have a whole chapter on
the subject including how to setup with Apache 2.x.

In a nutshell I setup a workers file under '/opt/tomcat/conf/jk' and
modified my server.xml to include a couple of listener options.  One for
8005 and the other for the virtual host.  

Find the setting for 8005 and add the listener as follows:

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
   <Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig" />


Next find the virtual host definition and add the listener there also:

<!-- Define the default virtual host -->
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" >
   <Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig"
append="true"/>



I also created '/opt/tomcat/conf/auto'. This I believe instructs Tomcat to
automagically create my 'mod_jk.conf' file which Apache needs.  Next modify
the Apache 'httpd.conf' to include the config file Tomcat will create when
you run it (Include /opt/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf).  Oh and don't forget
to Load/Add the mod_jk in Apache.

'LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so'
'AddModule mod_jk.c'

I hope I didn't loose you there.  I'm still rather new myself to mod_jk and
Tomcat.  I think that's about it.  Email me directly if you need further
help.  After doing this a dozen times I still need to tweak things.  Once I
start everything up I usually run the JSP examples or servlets as a test. 
Can't seem to get it to work properly on the first try yet ;-)

Good Luck!



--------------------

Has anyone been able to successfully get Tomcat working with Apache 2x using
mod_jk on a RedHat 9.0 system?  I can get Tomcat to work fine in standalone
but for the life of me cannot get mod_jk to work.  Has any kind soul created
RPMs of the whole thing?

Thanks in advance for any help,
