Re: Tomcat 3.2.1 mod_jk and Apache default_handler question

RE: Tomcat 3.2.1 and mod_jk on UNIX and Apache default_handler interaction.

When you configure apache for mod_jk,  the Apache default_handler checks to see
if the full
UNIX path for the URI exists. If it does not exist the the server returns a
permission error (FORBIDDEN)
and never calls the jakart-servlet handler - Example:

URL httpd://somehost//examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample on this
server.


Is there a way to configure Apache and the mod_jk connector where the standalone
JVM/Tomcat
has access to the servlet, but the web server does not for security reasons? I'm
still looking, but
thought I'd ask now.

Thanks in advance.

Just found the problem.

Well I found that the Alias in mod_jk.conf seems to be the problem with separating
the web server from the servlet engine. Removing the alias makes it work.
