I found the problem and it appears to be a bug, or at least a "default configuration/documentation" problem.
I followed the AJP Connector documentation (at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/ajp.html) to have Tomcat create the iis_redirect.reg file but it seems the entry created for extension_uri does not match the actual name of the dll (downloaded from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.3/bin/win32 /). The name added to the registry is isapi_redirect.dll but the name of the file is isapi_redirector.dll. There also seems to be confusion about the worker.properties file. The AJP Connector documentation refers to the file as worker.properties but the entry created for worker_file in iis_redirect.reg is workers.properties. The Tomcat IIS How-To (at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-iis-howto.html, outdated but there doesn't appear to be one for 4.0) refers to this file as workers.properties. I realize (now) that the name of the file does not matter as long as the registry entry is correct, but this confusion certainly does not help. Finally, and one I have yet to figure out, there is also conflicting information about the names of a couple of entries within the worker(s).properties file. In the Tomcat Worker How-To (at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/Tomcat-Workers-HowTo.html, again outdated but the only one I could find) it refers to workers.tomcat_home and workers.java_home. But the AJP Connector documentation calls these worker.tomcat_home and worker.java_home. As I said, I have yet to figure out which of these is correct as it doesn't seem to matter what I use. It seems to work either way. As far as I can tell they are both wrong or the entries are ignored entirely. This has certainly been a learning experience. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 4:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Yet Another IIS/Tomcat Problem i had this same problem and also posted to this list with no replies. i followed the tomcat docs to the letter to no avail. someone posted the following url regarding setting up tomcat as a service on NT i followed this ( except or the service part ) including the iis_redirect.dll download and now everything works just fine. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lampante/howto/tomcat/iisnt/#4 > -----Original Message----- > From: Wagoner, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: May 14, 2002 15:39 > To: Tomcat User List (E-mail) > Subject: Yet Another IIS/Tomcat Problem > > > I have Tomcat 4.0.3/isapi_redirect.dll mostly working on a > Win2k server but > get the following in the log file: > > [...] > [jk_isapi_plugin.c (439)]: HttpFilterProc [/home] is a > servlet url - should > redirect to ajp13 > [jk_isapi_plugin.c (461)]: HttpFilterProc check if [/home] is > points to the > web-inf directory > > then I get a 500 error in the browser.
