Gosh, missed that, didn't I? Sorry <me heap clumsy beginner!>, the platform is: Linux Kernel 2.2.14 Apache 1.3.16 but I'm not 100% sure as I don't know how to get the version 8~( Tomcat 3.2 again, don't know minor version if any. My head is swimming after looking up dso, compile, configure, apache, tomcat, ssl, jk, jserv, but I'll check out the updated mod_jk-howto you suggested. It does seem to look as though my apache executable was compiled without mod_so. This is running on a Cobalt RaQ3i server, which had apache preloaded.

You may want to look at the TC3.3m2 release. There is an updated mod_jk-howto in it. If you are running Linux, you can get the pre-built version of mod_jk in the same location as the TC3.3m1 or m2 binaries. The version of mod_jk is not dependant on the version of TC3. Also, sounds like your apache wasn't built with DSO support. The latest how-to offers suggestions with that. If you're still having problems, post some more detail on your config.
