Need Binary web-app Module for RedHat 7.1

[Cynthia Jeness <cj...@goldencode.com>]

When I tried to install the webapp-module in order to connect tomcat to
Apache, I got the warning that the module might crash and that I needed
to recompile with DEAPI.  So I got the source code for the weapp-module
as a tar.gz file from the Apache site.  The README file indicated that
the source code should be complete.  However, all of my attempts to
recompile folling the instructions in the README fail.

1.  There is no configure as described in the "README".
2.  I managed to build one with the buildconf in support using the
following command:

    ./support/buildconf.sh CFLAGS=-DEAPI

    Is this the correct way to get the "-DEAPI" flag?

3.  The README file says to run:

    ./configure --with-apxs

    Unfortunately, I do not have "apxs" with my RedHat distribution...


Since Apache is servicing a production web site, I really do not feel
comfortable rebuilding Apache just to get the webapps module built
correctly.  Also, because the README file seems to presume that one is
already intimately familiar with how to build appache components, the
chance of success seems relatively low.

I did go through the mailing list archives and there definitely seems to
be problems related to building and installing this webapps module.
Therefore, I was hoping that someone would have an appropriate pre-built
module with "-DEAPI" for RedHat 7.1 on Intel or at least a better source
of documentation.

I have even a more basic question.  I assume that the webapps module is
the replacement for mod_jserv which I used under previous versions of
Tomcat.  Is this correct?  Again, maybe I am looking in the wrong place,
but I just could not find current documentation on how to connect to
Apache.

Thanks in advance,

Cynthia Jeness
