Authentication 401 not passing login box to apache2

[Phil Jones <pr...@pool.cornwall.sch.uk>]

Hi

First apologies, I am a total newbie to this stuff so please don't eat 
me alive. :)

I'm driving myself up the wall with this one and hope you can help. 
although there doesn't seem to be anything in the archive.

I've got tomcat 5.5 setup and working on localhost directly.

I've complied and installed mod_jk so I can access webapps (specifically
davenport) through apache 2.

It works fine, until I try to go to a page that needs an authentication box.
Apache just returns a page saying:


"Unauthorized

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document
requested. 
Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or
your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was encountered while 
trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."


Frustrating as it didn't even give me a login box to try!

Accessing tomcat directly gives the login box and everything works fine. 
So I am thinking it is something to do with my mod_jk.so or apache conf?

Any ideas? I am losing my mind!

Thanks for your help

Phil Jones
