Johnny: You should be trying to get "Apache to talk to Tomcat". You have to do the configurations and workers.properties file yourself.
You should first be sure that the AJP 1.3 module is loaded when Apache starts. This occurs when you include the module in your httpd.conf. The line should contain a path to the module. Hopefully you will already have the module. If not, you'll need to compile the module. Once you're sure that the module exists somewhere. Include the module like so in httpd.conf.: LoadModule jk_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so NOTE: remember the path is to your module. This example is to "my" module. Now, you'll need a section in the httpd.conf that identifies the workers.properties file and configures the virtual URL that will send requests through your AJP connector in Tomcat. Here's a snippet for example: #JK configuration JkWorkersFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile /usr/local/apache2/logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel info JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y]" JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T" JkMount /mytomcatapp/* worker Create a file in the /conf directory called workers.properties and add the following: worker.list=worker worker.ajp13w.type=ajp13 worker.ajp13w.host=localhost worker.ajp13w.port=8009 Let's recap what this does. Apache receives a request to URL http://yourserver.com/mytomcatapp and because of you've configured the AJP module for this virtual URL, the request is sent (in binary Apache Java Protocol (AJP/1.3) to the 8009 connector that Tomcat is hosting. Commonly the 8009 connector just redirects to either the 8080 or 8443 connector. The request that was originally intercepted by Apache is served by Tomcat.
