Apache dies on Tomcat install

[Hal9000]

When installing the Tomcat packages via ./autoupdater, these errors are spitted out:

Module webapp does not exist!
Shared object mod_jk2.so not found in /usr/lib/apache2/modules...skipped.


and apache dies, i need to start it manually.

the apach log says just this:
[Tue Jul 17 11:08:10 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

tomcat appears not to be running in plesk. whenever i try to start it, apache dies.

what can i do?

thanks!

I upgraded to Tomcat 5.5 after dist-upgrade, maybe I screwed something up there? Dunno, anyhow neither version works now...
Please let me know what SWSoft will tell you :)

i think this could be a problem there is no mod_jk2 on debian 4.0 as i know ...

I had a similar problem in my Ubuntu6.06

I wanted to run my tomcat apps throught port 80. When the WAR archive was uploaded, Plesk added the following into my httpd.include file:

<IfModule mod_jk2.c>
<Location "/sample">
RemoveHandler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc
JkUriSet worker ajp13:localhost:9008
</Location>
</IfModule>

The problem was that mod_jk2.so wasn't installed...

And wasn't even available on default apt sources.

I found out this:
http://wiki.nerdylorrin.net/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=TomcatApacheConnector

mod_jk2 has been discontinued in 2004

So I downloaded and installed the .deb package:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/liba/libapache2-mod-jk2/

I hope this helps someone out there


see ya,
