Integrating Tomcat with Apache

Question

Hi there,
I'm really stuck here. I'm trying to integrate Apache with Tomcate. Not having much luck. I have a number of things that aren't quite right. For whatever reason the connector (mod_jk2) between Apache and Tomcat isn't doing its thing. First things first however. I'm not so sure about the log from Tomcat:
17-Jan-2005 3:56:07 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load
INFO: Initialization processed in 6517 ms

Shouldn't this line: INFO: JK2: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:8009
read like this: INFO: JK2: ajp13 listening on /127.0.0.1:8009
or: INFO: JK2: ajp13 listening on /localhost:8009
If I'm right, then how do I make it listen on the localhost address 127.0.0.1?
Please help,
Alan
My configuration files under tomcat are like so:
# file://usr/local/tomcat/conf/jk2.properties
## THIS FILE MAY BE OVERRIDEN AT RUNTIME. MAKE SURE TOMCAT IS STOPED
## WHEN YOU EDIT THE FILE.
## COMMENTS WILL BE LOST

Hi Alan.
I've discovered the exact same problem.... 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1
You've obviously not had any replys here, but di you end up working it out on your own?
