Hi,

I am trying to get Tomcat to cooperate with my Apache Web Server on Caldera
Linux. First, let me say that running Tomcat alone at http://localhost:8080
works fine.

My Apache version is as follows:
Server version: Apache 1.3.9 (Unix)
Server Built: Nov 19, 1999 01:11:28

The problem with getting Tomcat to work with Apache appears to be getting a
version of the MOD_JSERV.SO that my Apache install will recognize. I've
downloaded the binaries including the MOD_JSERV.SO for Linux from the
Jakarta Project download site.

I've modified the TOMCAT.CONF file so with the following line:

LoadModule jserv_module /usr/libexec/apache/mod_jserv.so

I can start Tomcat ok but when I try to start the Apache server using the
httpd command, it simply will not start. All I get is the prompt back. ps -A
| grep httpd gets nothing. 

If I rem out the above LoadModule line in tomcat.conf, then Apache will
start ok.

With the binary version of Tomcat, I tried the mod_jserv.so version off of
the download site. I also downloaded the source code and  built a version of
the mod_serv.so by myself using the information in the User's Guide - apxs
-c *.c -o mod_jserv.so but I got the same results - Apache just won't start.

I then downloaded the Tomcat 3.2 beta version and with the downloaded
version of mod_jserv.so, received the following error message:

Syntax Error on line 13 of /tomcat32/jakarta-tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf API
module structure  'jserv_module' in file /usr/libexec/apache/mod_jserv.so is
garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache  module DSO?

So at least some sort of error handling is working but ...

Again, I tried building a 3.2 beta version of the mod_jserv.so using the
apxs command but the Apache server will just not start.

I've read the listserver archives to glean out tips and have found a lot of
posts about people having problems with the version of the mod_jserv.so.
These range from warnings when downloading with Netscape to special apxs
build parameters. I've doublechecked and tried most everything so any and
all help is appreciated.

thanks in advance,
tomw
