Even if the symbol-not-found error didn't sink you, checks and  
balances in the module loading code will stop you loading a v2.2  
module into a v2.3 server. Because APIs have changed between v2.2 and  
v2.3, if this wasn't stopped, the server would crash as the old API  
was called from new API code.

What you need to do is either find a version of mod_jk that compiles  
against v2.3/2.4 of httpd (assuming one exists), or you need to apply  
a backport of the mod_cache modules back to httpd v2.2.

To make this work from v2.2, the backported patches needed to make  
some minor changes, like reinstate CORE_PRIVATE and reverse the module  
definition, but otherwise can be dropped in as is:
