I've been banging my head for the last two weeks trying to get Apache 2.0.43 and Tomcat 4.1.12 to work consistently well.
I've been using Apache 1.3.29 and Tomcat 3.2.26 for almost a year now but have been facing a lot of performance and stability issues. Not fun...
So I bit the bullet and updated one of my servers to the newer versions. Performance and stability improved dramatically but for some reason, a core piece of functionality did not work right. Every so often, a critical file upload would fail and I couldn't figure out why. The same file would fail or work with no reasoning behind it. I added a bunch of checking and debugging but nothing turned up. I finally stumbled upon a new version of the mod_jk2 connector and things seem to be doing better. Please, God, make this work :-( Mod_jk2 is the glue between Apache and Tomcat that allow them to work together. With the help of Robert Sowders' FAQ document I'm able to run Tomcat inprocess with Apache under Win2K. You don't know how sweet that is.
The joys and disappointments of web development.
