It won't match <hostname>/*/*.jsp. I think you'll need another line in there that says: JkMount /*/*.jsp wrkr > JkMount /servlet/* wrkr You will probably have the same issue with the servlet matching. Try this instead: JkMount /*/servlet/* wrkr Good idea here. > # Deny direct access to WEB-INF > <LocationMatch ".*WEB-INF.*"> > AllowOverride None > deny from all > </LocationMatch> Good start. > Alias /michael /home/michael/webspace/webapps I would probably change some of the Directory directives. Since this lives outside your normal DocumentRoot, this Directory is not going to inherit the permissions you gave to DocumentRoot. Something like the following might work better: <Directory /home/michael/webspace/webapps> Options Indexes Allow Override None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> > <Directory /home/michael/webspace/webapps> > Options FollowSymLinks > AllowOverride None > </Directory> I tend to put the Directory and Aliases before the JkMount statement, if I do that, then I can do the following: Alias /michael /home/michael/webspace/webapps <Directory /home/michael/webspace/webapps> Options Indexes Allow Override None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> JkMount /michael/*.jsp wrkr JkMount /michael/*/*.jsp wrkr JkMount /michael/*/servlet/* wrkr Finally, make sure the user Tomcat is running as has read access to everything in /home/michael/webspace/webapps. If there are a lot of applications, you can group all the <Directory> directives, followed by all the Alias directives, followed by all the JkMount statements. Another way to organize your httpd.conf file is by application. In other words, for each application: <Directory> # directory directives </Directory> Alias /<desired_mapping> /<directory_napping> JkMount /<desired_mapping>/*.jsp <tomcat-worker> JkMount /<desired_mapping>/servlet/* <tomcat-worker> I'm away from my system right now, but I think either of these methods should work fine. The ugly thing about doing it this way is that every time you add a new user, you'll have to update Apache, which means you'll have to stop and start the server. If you could get the user directory idea to work, then everything would just "happen". HTH /mde/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
