Hi
I have installed Apache 2.0.44 and Tomcat 2.1.18 on my Windows 2000 server
machine as services.
Both work fine as standalone webservers

However I am having trouble connecting them so that Apache can pass .jsp
pages to Tomcat before serving them up

I have downloaded mod_jk2-2.0.43.dll and stuck it in the Apache/modules folder

I have added the following line to Apache's httpd.conf:
LoadModule jk2_module modules/mod_jk2.dll (after the other LoadModule
statements)

I have followed the instructions on the Jakarta homepage:
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jk2/doc/
and put jk2.properties in Tomcat_home/conf and workers2.properties in
apache/conf

This is the contents of jk2.properties:
## THIS FILE MAY BE OVERRIDEN AT RUNTIME. MAKE SURE TOMCAT IS STOPED
## WHEN YOU EDIT THE FILE.

## COMMENTS WILL BE _LOST_

## DOCUMENTATION OF THE FORMAT IN JkMain javadoc.

# Set the desired handler list
# handler.list=apr,request,channelJni
#
# Override the default port for the socketChannel
# channelSocket.port=8019
# Default: 
# channelUnix.file=${jkHome}/work/jk2.socket
# Just to check if the the config  is working
# shm.file=${jkHome}/work/jk2.shm

# In order to enable jni use any channelJni directive
# channelJni.disabled = 0
# And one of the following directives:

# apr.jniModeSo=/opt/apache2/modules/mod_jk2.so

# If set to inprocess the mod_jk2 will Register natives itself
# This will enable the starting of the Tomcat from mod_jk2
# apr.jniModeSo=inprocess

This is the contents of workers2.properties:
# Define the communication channel 
[channel.socket:localhost:8009]
info=Ajp13 forwarding over socket
tomcatId=localhost:8009

# Map the Tomcat examples webapp to the Web server uri space
[uri:/examples/*]
info=Map the whole webapp

Whenever I try to load the page http://localhost/examples I get an internal
server error

This is the message from the error log for the relevant time:
[Wed Jan 22 03:37:40 2003] [error] workerEnv.init() create slot epStat.0 failed
[Wed Jan 22 03:37:40 2003] [error] lb.service() worker failed 120000 for

[Wed Jan 22 03:37:43 2003] [error] mod_jk.handler() Error connecting to

I just cannot see where I am going wrong. Any help would be really really
appreciated as this is now holding up some critical development issues

Many thanks

Oops the Tomcat version should read 4.1.18 not 2.1.18, sorry!
