Thank you Luc - My JkMount directives are inside an an included file, which is itself inside a <virtualhost> directive in httpd.conf, almost at the bottom of section 3. Why wouldn't this work? The idea was, if we decide to host more than one of these on the same system, we can put the JkMount directives inside the appropriate <virtualhost> in http.conf. Also note, I lifted this arrangement right out of a working Apache 1.3 and Tomcat 3.3 setup.
Here are the relevant sections of httpd.conf and my include file. I substituted the string, "webname" for the real name of the site when it goes live: [EMAIL PROTECTED] conf]# tail httpd.conf -c 1090 # configuration. # # Use name-based virtual hosting. # #NameVirtualHost *:80 NameVirtualHost webname.greg.local:80 # # NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier # (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the # SSL protocol. # <VirtualHost webname.greg.local> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /var/www/html/webname/ ### ServerName www.webnamekids.org ServerName webname.greg.local ### ServerAlias development.webnamekids.org staging.webnamekids.org include /etc/httpd/conf/webname.conf </VirtualHost> # # VirtualHost example: # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container. # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known # server name. # #<VirtualHost *:80> # ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] # DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com # ServerName dummy-host.example.com # ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log # CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common #</VirtualHost> [EMAIL PROTECTED] conf]# And here is the include file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] conf]# more webname.conf # # www.webnamekids.com # ###SetEnvIf Remote_Addr 10\.10\.10\.78 BADIP LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combine d CustomLog "| /usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/webname_access_log 259200" combin ed env=!BADIP ###DocumentRoot /usr/local/websites/webname/ # Already setup in httpd.conf ##JkMount /servlets/* ajp13 ##JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 ##JkMount /*.do ajp13 ##JkMount /servlets/* worker1 ##JkMount /*.jsp worker1 ##JkMount /*.do worker1 JkMount /var/www/html/webname/servlets/* worker1 JkMount /var/www/html/webname/*.jsp worker1 JkMount /var/www/html/webname/*.do worker1 #UserDir disabled AddHandler server-parsed .html .shtml. htm ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html #<Directory /> # Options None # AllowOverride None #</Directory> # Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow # particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as # you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it # below. <Directory /var/www/html/webname/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes AllowOverride All DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.jsp </Directory> # There have been reports of people trying to abuse an old bug from pre-1.1 # days.

First. Be sure that : - Aliasses have been created in httpd.conf - Your JkMount directives are placed between section 2 And 3 of httpd.conf - Your JkMount directives are placed AFTER the Alias Directives If that doesn't work, let us know. Luc Boudreau Université du Québec Canada -----Message d'origine----- De : Greg Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : 11 juin 2005 23:41 À : tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Cc : [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Joan Kinnischtzke; Michael R Ponicki Objet : Paths for JkMount Hello - I am working on a proof of concept application, porting from tomcat 3.n and Apache 1.3 to Tomcat 5.5.9 and Apache 2.0.52. The problem - every time this app would try to execute a .jsp file, Apache would return an error. After a bunch of troubleshooting in httpd.conf, I found the problem. It was these JkMount directives: JkMount /servlets/* worker1 JkMount /*.jsp worker1 JkMount /*.do worker1 I was assuming these paths were all really relative to my DocumentRoot - but noooooo! The path evidently needs to be a real, absolute path. These directives work: JkMount /var/www/html/{approot}/servlets/* worker1 JkMount /var/www/html/{approot}/*.jsp worker1 JkMount /var/www/html/{approot}/*.do worker1 (where {approot} is the directory with all the html, jsp, and other files.) And now the app seems to behave properly. But this bothers me - aren't all these supposed to be relative to DocumentRoot? Am I missing something or are JkMount directives supposed to point to an absolute path?
