[cobalt-developers] Tomcat Problem

["Scott K. Moore" <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Everyone,

We are developing a Java Application that uses Apache-Tomcat 3.2.3 and JDBC
to connect to our InterBase Server on a Cobalt Raq4. We have been developing
the code in a Windows environment running InterBase and Apache-Tomcat 4.0,
and everything works well there.  However, we can't seem to get things
working properly on the Cobalt.

The problem occurs when we use the Tomcat JDBC Realm to provide user
authentication from the InterBase database.  We get the following message:

404 File Not Found...  j_security_check

We found some references to this problem that said to modify the mod_jk.conf
file and the httpd.conf file so that the Apache-Tomcat connector knows how
to handle the request.  However, we followed their suggestions and tried
modifying the mod_jk.conf files that are created - but nothing seemed to
work.  In addition, if we modify the httpd.conf file then Apache doesn't
load correctly, and disables the Apache server altogether.

We are incredibly frustrated with this issue, and we've been working full
time on this problem for the last 3 days.  If anyone has experienced this we
would love to know how to fix it...  Thanks in advance for your help!
