[users@httpd] Apache/mod_jk serves random files from tomcat

[Tim Redding <ti...@tribalddb.co.uk>]

Hi,

We are experiencing intermittent problems with a particular site that is not
returning the correct file that is requested.  For instance if we request
the index.html file we actually get a css file or even an image.  From the
apache access log you can see that the size of the index.html file grows on
the second request. This is because a gif was actually returned.

XXX.XXX.XXX.130 - - [10/Jul/2008:15:10:39 +0100] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1"
200 1068
XXX.XXX.XXX.130 - - [10/Jul/2008:15:13:10 +0100] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1"
200 9526
XXX.XXX.XXX.130 - - [10/Jul/2008:15:13:48 +0100] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1"
200 1086

No error messages are logged in the mode_jk.log file.

We have Apache/2.2.3 on the front on a Tomcat 6.0.16 server with mod_jk
(version unknown but fairly recent).  We have all assets in our war file. 
When we hit Tomcat directly on port 8080 it serves the correct file. And to
fix the problem an apache restart seems to sort things out.

On this server with have 2 vhosts.  One is a simple nothing fancy static
site and the other forwards everything to our Tomcat server.  Below I've
included our mod_jk config and a snippet of our httpd.conf.  

Any ideas or things to try would be most appreciated.


Tim.
