mod_jk - apache tomcat problem

[Chong Yu Meng]

Hi Lonni !

Nope, you can't use mod_jk syntax for mod_jk2. Although jk2 just  sounds 
like the "second version" of jk, it is fundamentally different. I have a 
write-up on this on my website : 
http://cymulacrum.net/writings/tomcat5/book1.html

This is for Fedora Core 1: there are some problems with RHEL, from what 
I hear on the Tomcat mailing list. You can try my instructions first, 
and if there are problems, you can post it up. I've helped some people 
with their individual setups, and I found that it actually can vary 
quite a lot from Linux distribution to Linux distribution.

I know, I know, I should put it up on the Linux StepByStep, but the 
article is now going through another major re-write, because I'm now 
getting a lot of feedback from people in the US and Germany.

Regards,
pascal chong
