why can't I get the ApJservMount right

[Filip Hanik <fh...@pakana.com>]

I must be missing something crucial.

I am playing around with Tomcat and Apache and I am reading the Tomcat User
Guide.
I copied and pasted the examples on how to write a tomcat-apache
configuration file
I still can not get the ApJServMount command to work properly.
In the document it says
ApJServMount URI protocol://host:port/context

which would mean anything that gets sent to your URI will be proxied
forward.
So for example
ApJServMount /cgi-bin ajpv12://localhost:8007/examples
should redirect any request that comes in to /cgi-bin to Tomcat examples.

This works fine using the ProxyPass command but I can't get the context to
redirect properly

below is my configuration file, and everything works except for the last
APJServMount command for cgi-bin,
any ideas or clarification on the ApJServMount directive would be a great
deal of help

thanks
Filip
