I'm not sure about the placement of the LoadModule - I think Apache is a 
bit picky about these things.

I'm using the rpm shipped by Henri Gomez for RHL with Apache 1.3.12 and, 
after some significant changes to the spec file, have something nearly 
usable.

"usable" means (to me) that I can install Apache, install Tomcat and 
tomcat-jserv and it works. I can remove tomcat-jserv and Apache still 
works. I can reinstall it and ...

If someone reminds me off-list, I will post my changed spec file in the 
next day or too to the general list where there is already some relevant 
discussion.
