Anyone Familiar linking Apache2 Server to Tomcat 5.5?

Question

I am trying to have Apache2 work with Tomcat 5.5, but am having no success.
There's about 10,000 documents out on the web that all contradict each other and I have no clue how to do this correctly.
Here's what I have and what I am trying to do...
OS: WindowsXP
Apache Server: 2.0.53 installed set to port 8181
Located in: D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2
Tomcat Server: 5.5.7 installed set to port 8080
Located in D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
mod_jk.so (Version 1.2.8) installed into
Located in: D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\modules
Both Apache2 and Tomcat are installed correctly which I verified by running separately
When I click the following link, I want Tomcat to pick up the request using the Apache2 Server
http://localhost:8181/somePath1/somePath2/

ok, I solved it. A couple of points to note:
- I switched so port 80 was apache2 and port 8080 was tomcat
- If using Windows do not use mod_jk.so instead use mod_jk.dll. Either way, place the file in the Apache2\modules directory
- If your http.conf directory names have spaces make sure to put them in quotes.
- If you have errors do not check the 'error' log in the Event Viewer as it gives you useless information. Instead check the 'application' logs in the Event Viewer
Here is my tomcat/conf/workers.properties
worker.list=ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=localhost
worker.ajp13.type=ajp13Here is my additions to the apache2\conf\httpd.conf
# Setup for Tomcat
# Load mod_jk module
# Update this path to match your modules location
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.dll
# Declare the module for <IfModule directive>
# AddModule mod_jk.c
# Where to find workers.properties
# Update this path to match your conf directory location (put workers.properties next to httpd.conf)
JkWorkersFile "D:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/conf/workers.properties"
# Where to put jk logs
# Update this path to match your logs directory location (put mod_jk.log next to access_log)
  JkLogFile     "D:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/logs/mod_jk.log"
# Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
  JkLogLevel    info
# Select the log format
  JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
# JkOptions indicate to send SSL KEY SIZE,
  JkOptions     +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
# JkRequestLogFormat set the request format
  JkRequestLogFormat     "%w %V %T"
# Send everything for context /examples to worker named worker1 (ajp13)
  JkMount  /somepath1/somepath2/* ajp13
