If you make a request to Apache httpd and it ends up running your JSP or servlet, then it works ;) > how can I determine if apache is handling the static content and not > tomcat? Make a request. Check the httpd server logs and the Tomcat server logs. It Tomcat says it served the request, then your configuration is incorrect. > 10x in advance and sorry for if the question sounds too "newby" It is a newby question, but that's not a problem. The problem is that you are asking how to do something that you probably don't need to do. mod_jk is only required if the following are both true: 1. You must use Apache httpd. 2. You have an Apache httpd version lower than 2.2 There are other reasons to use mod_jk, but that would depend on your needs. Since you provided no information about your needs, I can't comment on whether or not you /require/ mod_jk. For instance, I require multiple Tomcat instances running in separate JVMs to be served through port 443. That is not possible without some type of multiplexer (Apache httpd in this case). Since I'm using Apache httpd 2.0.x, my choices are to use mod_proxy_http or mod_jk. I believe I have configuration requirements that are either impossible or overly complex to use mod_proxy_http (or even mod_proxy_ajp in Apache httpd 2.2), so I use mod_jk. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHAsJj9CaO5/Lv0PARAqncAKCoJNhj5Dx3vWwJVpazy2O1mTWnlwCfTRDj GlVt4NRZENHGQXNp3tGKiLU= =gZp5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
