The configuration: <ApacheConfig forwardAll="false" useJkMount="true" jkDebug="error" noRoot="false" /> causes ApacheConfig to output a line of the form: Alias / /path/to/ROOT which makes Apache very unhappy when trying to find static files. One alternative to the attached patch would be to simply output a DocumentRoot directive for this special case, but I thought that that would be more error-prone.
