I read the documentation that you pointed out. I was confused as the bulleted list below this statement said you could put the context element inside a hostname tag in the server.xml. So I commented it out and restarted tomcat/apahce and I got a 404. I uncommented it out and restarted and go the same thing I had before -- the 400. I think this is a permissions issue. Without the redirecting index.html I get a 403. Now with the redirect I can hit an html page but the redirect won't work (bec of the 403 in trying to hit the jsp pages directly????) hence the 400. But I have no idea what else to check. Could the permissions in the directories conflict with the main documentation directory (htdocs) directory permissions? I need another pair of eyes and my pair are the only ones here.
Again, in httpd.conf I have: <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all </Directory> On down in the httpd.conf I have: <Directory "C:/apache/htdocs"> Options -Indexes AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> In the virtual host file (called from the httpd.conf file) I have for the tomcat app: <Directory "F:/tomcat/webapps/app1/"> AllowOverride None Order Allow,Deny Allow from All </Directory> So would the coordination of the above be causing a conflict that prevents me from getting to the java app on tomcat? I mean with the above I can get to the html files in F:/tomcat/webapps/app1/ Thanks, again > Subject: RE: mod_jk/apache+tomcat/400 bad request > Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:25:42 -0600 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: RE: mod_jk/apache+tomcat/400 bad request > > > > You might want to put a <Context> element into your > > server.xml inside the relevant <Host>: > > Perhaps you haven't been keeping up with the last few years of Tomcat > releases.
