It's not necessary to change the <Host> name (or the defaultHost) if you only
have one <Host> element, so I'd recommend changing both back to localhost. You
only need multiple <Host> names if you are serving multiple domains that have
separate sets of webapps.
> <Context path="" docBase="webapps/ROOT/"/>
The above must be removed, for several reasons: 1) it is incorrect, since a
relative docBase is relative to the <Host> appBase, so it should have been just
"ROOT"; 2) it is redundant, in that any directory under the appBase directory
will automatically be considered to be a context; and, 3) putting <Context>
elements in server.xml is strongly discouraged. Any <Context> elements (if
needed at all) belong in the webapp's META-INF/context.xml file, or in
conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml. Get rid of it.

The above is not useful - <Logger> elements have not been used in Tomcat for
several years.

No, webapps can be either .war files or directories.

The above is due to the invalid <Context> element in server.xml.
> WARNING: No rules found matching 'Server/Service/Engine/Host/Logger'.
The above is due to the invalid <Logger> element in server.xml.

The above is ignorable. You can install APR primarily for improved SSL
performance; but if you're front-ending Tomcat with httpd, you should have
httpd handle the SSL as well.

Can you access the Tomcat examples and other webapps distributed with Tomcat
via port 8080? If so, then the Tomcat installation is working, and it's just
the mod_jk config that's wrong. Again, if you don't really need httpd, why are
you making your life more difficult (and impacting performance) by trying to
use it?
