Am at the end of my rope trying to get tomcat 3.2.3 to run a simple webapp on my debian linux server. The same tomcat binary runs the webapp fine on my development debian linux system in tomcat standalone mode, but gets a 404 error (page not found) when run with apache on the server box.
Figured it has to be a simple stupid problem with the apache-tomcat adapter config. Have tried everything in the docs about setting up the adapter and still keep getting 404. Have both mod_jserv.so and mod_jk.so installed in the apache libexec directory, and have pointed httpd.conf alternately to tomcat-apache.conf and mod_jk.conf-auto, but nothing makes any difference. Keeping getting 404. This is a simple servlet, not a jsp although am currently using a .jsp extension for the generated pages. Was originally using an app-specific extension for the generated files, which also works fine on the development system standalone but gives 404 with apache on the server. Being a Java developer, have considered bugging the tomcat source with printlns to see where the problem might be, but there are a lot of .java files and I don't have a clue re the tomcat architecture to know what to instrument and recompile to get a handle on this using that approach (not that I think the problem is in the tomcat code, but it might give a clue as to what in the config files is incorrect. Have also downloaded tomcat 4 in exasperation and considered junking tomcat 3.2.3, but tomcat 4 has a while new set of config files, and I've just started getting used to the structure of the 3.2.3 config files. My mind is about fried and can't handle learning a whole new tomcat config set up at this point. Have been beating my head against the wall for a couple weeks on this. (A nice tomcat config tool where you enter the name of the servlet, the classpath to the servlet, the path to to the webapps file, and other simple data like that, and have the various config files gen'd automatically would probably solve my problem.) Have checked this group's archive logs for 404 errors to see if anyone else has had this problem, but there are 15800 messages related to 404 problems! Maybe someone has, but tough to find it in that big a pile. So my apologies for yet another 404 post, but this is driving me nuts (and not doing my web site any good either.) Any clues or ideas as to the solution would be appreciated.
