Hi,

Hmm, I didn't know that you're not managing this box ;)
I'm actually a Linux SysAdmin and not a big specialist in mod_jk ;)
What version of RedHat it is?
What application do you want to run on Tomcat behind Apache Httpd?

If you want I could help your SysAdmin with compilation and basic
configuration.

Cheers,
Leon Kolchinsky
