Thanks for the idea. Can you tell me what you specifically look for in the "mod_jk_log" file? Do you look for the presence of something? or the absence of something? I only see 'negative' events in the logfile. For example, "all endpoints are disconnected, detected by connect check(1), cping(0), send(0)" which evidently, is when Tomcat releases a connection on its end. (I set JkLogLevel = DEBUG, but still don't see any messages that look like what I would want...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
