In the 5.5.12 distribution I did not found any worker.properties files under the conf directory. Is it normal or is it a new change in Tomcat, there is no explanation in the doc? Sorry if it is not the good place to log this kind of problem, but I did not found any other place. Regards. Jean-Yves
Are you talking about the mod_jk2 files? Those are gone on purpose. If you're talking about other files, can you please ask on dev@tomcat.apache.org?
When I compare <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf directory between v5.1.12 and 5.1.11, the following files are missing in 5.1.12 version: * jk2.manifest * shm.manifest * jk2.properties * tomcat-jk2.manifest * jkconf.ant.xml * uriworkermap.properties * jkconfig.manifest * workers2.properties * workers2.properties.minimal * workers.properties * workers.properties.minimal I suppose that all files containing "2" are releted to mod_jk2 which is deprecated, but other files are related to mod_jk which is required to communicate between apache HTTPD and Tomcat (if my understanding is correct). Are these files missing by purpose and in this case what is the new procedure to communicate between Apache and Tomcat (doc still mentions worker.properties file) or is it just a mistake? Thanks for your help.
My understanding is that it's not a mistake. The JK2 files are gone on purpose obviously (although you can still get them with JK2 and older downloads if you want). The JK files are still supported, but are now distributed with mod_jk itself: for example, workers.properties is still needed, and comes with the mod_jk download. If you have further questions, please ask on the users@tomcat.apache.org mailing list. Bugzilla is not the best place for this type of discussion. Thank you.
