RE: [OT] Configuring mod_jk - Again! [getting desperate]
My apologies if I was getting off topic, but thank you for your help just
the same. I made some further permission changes, and I can now access the
html files - having a different problem and will post new thread.
Thanks again.
Denise

You need 775 (or at least 5 on the last digit). Apache requires "x"
permissions (which, for a directory means "list" rather than "execute" on
*nix systems) on the directories. Apache will do a tree-walk from '/' to
your directory incase you have any '.htaccess' files installed. Of course,
it's [OT] to complain about this 'feature' on this list.
That the JSPs work is not surprising, since Apache simply hands the request
off to Tomcat (which only cares about the permissions it has).

Re: [OT] Configuring mod_jk - Again! [getting desperate]
Posted by Bill Barker <wb...@wilshire.com>.
I considered your post on-Topic: I was just trying to prevent it from
drifting :-). AFAIK, there are at most a couple of Apache/httpd developers
subscribed to this list (and, I'm not one of them), so I just wanted any
Apache/httpd related thread to jump to the httpd-users list.
Glad that I could help :-).
