tomcat_apache.conf & tomcat.conf

[ma...@nytimes.com]

Hi,

I started using tomcat with Apache recently. I am confused by tomcat.conf and
tomcat_apache.conf. According to the User's Guide, tomcat_apache.conf is
automatically generated by tomcat. So I will have to:
     1) include tomcat_apache.conf at the end of Apache's httpd.conf.
     2) start tomcat first, so that tomcat_apache.conf can be generated.

However, on another section of the User's Guide named "Making Apache Serve your
Context's Static Files", I'm instructed to add something to the tomcat.conf so
that tomcat will leave static files for Apache to process.

So my questions:
     How are tomcat.conf and tomcat_apache.conf used by tomcat? Especially, in
what order does tomcat read these two files?

Can somebody help me out, please?

Ma, Yanbin

use Tomcat 3.2 and read this guide
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/mod_jk-howto.html

that should get you started. after that if you have any questions, just let
us know
