I think you're going to have to do some more of your own debugging.
Or at least provide some more information. Things to look at include:
What URL(s) you are using
What is happening (as opposed to just "it's not working")
Is it a 404 Not Found? Or some other web server error?
Is the error coming from Apache or Tomcat?
You should be able to tell from the format of the error page,
and/or you can look in the respective log files
My guess is the problem has to do with Apache not knowing to pass the
URL(s) in question to Tomcat. That usually means you need to
add/change something in your tomcat/apache conf file.

Good idea, because I don't believe you can 100% control what goes into
mod_jk.conf-auto. General advice seems to me copy it, modify it, and
use the modified one.
