Re: new to tomcat - mod_webapp vs. mod_jk

[Scott Ahten <pi...@pixelfreak.net>]

Greg,

i'm running in stand-alone mode for the moment due to the lack of a 
binary version of mod_webapp for win32...  

if i manage to find a pre-compiled version and get things working with 
tomcat 4 / mod_webapp.. i'll be sure to post to the list...
