Andre, it doesn't surprise me that this channel is a paid for support channel. Did anyone troll through the JBoss community pages to see if there is a mod_jk package? I don't know how sensitive your customer is to using community-supported software from JBoss / RedHat (if it exists). Chris, maybe a pointer on the following pages: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ http://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi to a Wiki page detailing third party compiled binaries? Have a disclaimer on the above two pages stating that binaries for the connectors are not normally supplied, and the Wiki page contains information on binaries for various platforms. There are a lot of potential problems with this, including implied endorsement by ASF for third party binaries (would a disclaimer be sufficient?), spam, and infected binaries. Another approach would be to have Wiki pages with detailed build or installation instructions for each platform. The pages could then reference distribution channels (Debian/Ubuntu/OpenSuse), commercial channels (RedHat), requirements for compiling from source (RedHat, CentOS, Fedora). Just some random thoughts . . . . /mde/ And yes, I'll try to write up a Fedora compilation one (which should work for RedHat, CentOS, Scientific Linux). It may take me a bit, since I'm a software pack rat, and this system pretty much has everything under the -hat- installed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
