Thanks.
I believe the command line I used to build Apache was: "./configure --enable-so --enable-ssl --with-apxs" And I believe the command line I used to build mod_webapp (after building and installing APR) was: "./configure --with-apxs=/your/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs --with-tomcat=/your/path/to/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3" I didn't specify where to put mod_webapp when I built it...it ended up in /usr/lib/apache when all was said and done, and after the grief I had getting all this to work I didn't have the heart to move it anywhere, so I just stuck that path onto the LoadModule statement in httpd.conf and called it good. Also, I forgot to add a disclaimer previously...my impromptu "How-To" doesn't include any steps for locking down security, as in folder and file permissions, etc. My main goal was just to get apache talking to tomcat. Standard "I'm not responsible if someone hacks your Tomcat" disclaimers apply. :) John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aas.com -----Original Message----- From: Adam Pfeiffer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 4:24 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Connecting Apache 2 with Tomcat 4.x Hi John, This is a very great doc and a very good start. I have one question, what command line parameters did you use to compile apache to enable DSO support, SSL, and apxs?
