Apache - tomcat connection on Suse Lnux

[dianelane]

On a Suse Linux 10.1 server, with Apache2 I am trying to setup Tomcat5 (connector with Apache2) to run web applicatons.
I do follow the Apache Tomcat Connector - webserver HOW-TO, but have errors.

1) Java and Tomcat installed from Suse repository via YAST.
2) mod_jk.so downloaded and moved to /usr/lib/apache2

3) /etc/tomcat5/base/workers.properties modified as follows
...
#workers.tomcat_home=/var/tomcat3
workers.tomcat_home=/usr/share/tomcat5
#
# workers.java_home should point to your Java installation. Normally
# you should have a bin and lib directories beneath it.
#
#workers.java_home=/opt/IBMJava2-13
workers.java_home=/usr/lib/java
...

4) in /etc/apache2/httpd.con file added last line
Include /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/jk/mod_jk.conf-auto

5) /ets/tomcat5/base/server.xml modified as follows:
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecy cleListener"
debug="0"/>
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResour cesLifecycleListener"
debug="0"/>
<Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"
modJk="/usr/lib/apache2/mod_jk.so" />


After this, Tomcat restarted with error 7 and log
files

start.log:

Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /srv/www/tomcat5/base//temp

/usr/lib/java/common/lib/servlet-api.jar
/usr/share /tomcat5/common/lib/servlet-api.jar

It seems to me that they have been required, and installed, by Tomcat.
The installation has been done from:
download.opensuse.org

How shoulb be the installation in your opinion?
Thanx

No idea. I just suggested you research it and see if all the versions match.
