It's for use of shutting down Tomcat over the AJP port (doesn't really work, and is disabled by default). As of 5.5.16+, Tomcat won't write the file unless you explictly enable this option.
"Fred K" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi: I am using mod_jk.so v1.2.15 (and tomcat 5.5.12) Why does mod_jk need to create and write the file ajp13.id in the configuration directory? ./conf/ajp13.id #Automatically generated, don't edit #Thu Jan 26 16:24:17 GMT 2006 secret=secretword port=8009 I like (feel more secure) to have all the configuration directories set to read only so this 'write' requirement creates a problem. Also odd, is that the port attribute is the tomcat default and not the active port defined in the workers.properties nor server.xml. Is that a bug or another configuration issue? Your help is greatly appreciated, Thank you - Fred --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
