Thank you very much Robert for your tips. The built-in Apache server with MacOs was conflicting with my configuration and setup.
I changed to my Apache bin directory and fired : a) ./apachectl -f <My apache -home>/conf/httpd.conf for starting and b) ./apachectl -f <My apache -home>/conf/httpd.conf -k stop for stopping After this , i downloaded tomcat's mod_jk module and compiled and configd for communicating with my Apache setup to my JBOSS-tomcat setup and its also working fine http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-3.3-doc/mod_jk-howto.html Thanks a lot once again, On 4/26/07, Robert T Wyatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
