It is definitely NOT a replacement. It is not high performance when compared to Apache and doesn't have as many features. The main reason you would want to use Apache is performance. > > > Which version of Tomcat works (is compatible) with which version of Apache ? > Is Tomcat 4.0.2 working with Apache 1.3.23 or only with 2.0.* ? I believe that 4.0.2 will work with both. I am currently trying to get 4.0.2 working with Apache 2.0.x (which is still in beta), but it is not as easy as I thought.

How do I do it ? The Tomcat distribution includes documentation for ths. Check out webapps/tomcat-docs/config/index.html. There are two different connectors for getting them to talk: Warp and AJP. The AJP method has much better documentation. > > > Does the same Tomcat binary work as a plug-in for Apache and as a stand-alone server >or do I have to download two separate binaries ?
