[KLUG Members] Linking Tomcat To Apache via mod_jk

[Adam Tauno Williams]

I have an Apache2 server that also runs Jakarta Tomcat 5.  The Tomcat
instance is used to deploy Open Reports and Davenport.

To access the Tomcat applications one normally uses
http://noor;8080/openreports, etc....
To access the native apache stuff (PHP mostly) one uses
http://noor/intranet/....

So I installed the mod_jk connector so that tomcat can be accessed via
Apache and thus without the wierd URL.  This worked perfectly for the
Tomcat demo applications,  I could go to http://noor/jsp-examples,
etc... and go right into Tomcat.  The entries appears in the apache logs
(yes!) and everything stayed on port 80 (very cool).

But when I try to modify the entries to point /openreports or /reports
at my Tomcat application all I get is an index of files, like Apache is
accessing the directory itself and not using the connector.

By entries look like -
Alias /openreports "/srv/www/tomcat/base/webapps/openreports"
<Directory "/srv/www/tomcat/base/webapps/openreports">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    allow from all
 </Directory>
JkMount /openreports/*.jsp ajp13
<Location "/openreports/WEB-INF/">
    AllowOverride None
    deny from all
</Location>

And the same for davenport.
