Using MOD_JK2 to connect Apache to Tomcat

[J Peaks]

All,

We are soon to be hosting a very important system but are currently having
some problems with setting this up on our Redhat Linux environment. We
are running the following:

Redhat 9 (all updated using up2date)
kernel 2.4.20-20.9
Apache 2 (specifically 2.0.40-21.5, the current default for Redhat 9)
Tomcat 4 (I do not know exactly which version, this has been installed on
another machine)
i686

I understand that MOD_JK2 is needed to make the bridge between Apache and
Tomcat, but we are having trouble with the installation of this. The
version we were trying to install from an RPM (mod_jk2-ap20-2.0.1-1jpp)
was complaining that it needed Apache version 2.0.43 in order to work. As
hard as we tried, we could not locate this exact version other than for
the PowerPC.

Does anyone know of an RPM of MOD_JK2 that will work with our version of
Apache? If not, do you possibly know of another way this can be done?

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

J Peaks

2.0.47 is the latest release, a higher release number than 2.0.43 so it
should work, if you've been using 2.0.40 versions these are pre 2.0.43 so I
would expect them not to work.
