[users@httpd] question about an error in the error log

[Nathan Belk <nb...@nitrosecurity.com>]

I am seeing this error come up every once in a while in a log I am 
reviewing.  I have tried to find its meaning on google and find lots of 
way you can try fixing it but not what it means.

This is the error:
[error] mod_jk child init 1 -2

At this point, I don't need to know how to fix this error, I just need 
to know what it means.  If you know how to read the information about 
this error or where I can find more information out about this cryptic 
message, I would be appreciative.

Thanks,

Nathan

mod_jk is typically discussed on the Tomcat users list, because it is 
developped as part of the Tomcat project.

I have never seen this message and quickly checked the code for mod_jk 
version 1.2.18 to 1.2.31 and it doesn't seem to be there. There is some 
evidence, that you are not actually using mod_jk but mod_jk2. The source 
code of mod_jk2 contains similar log messages. mod_jk2 has been 
abandoned many years ago. The older mod_jk has improved a lot and was 
decided to remain as the actively maintained module. You should switch 
from mod_jk2 to mod_jk. Unfortunately the configuration is not compatible.

Grab version 1.2.31 of mod_jk and have a look at the example 
configuration contained in the source download of mod_jk 1.2.31.

Regards,

Rainer
