Hi Cristopher,

I was also under the impression that I had to use a
connector (mod_jk?) but this wasn't hugely clear to me.
You only need mod_jk if you want to connect Apache to Tomcat. If you are using Tomcat as standalone server, only configure Tomcat.

The most important configuration file is server.xml. You will find it under c:\<Path To Tomcat>\conf\server.xml or /<Path To Tomcat>/conf/server.xml if you are using Linux. The second important file is the log file under c:\<Path To Tomcat>\logs. Everytime something goes wrong take a look at it.

 > My current understanding is that I need to create folders for each
Tomcat instance and copy certain files from the main Tomcat into them.
You need only *one* Tomcat instance, but for each web application one context.

I also believe that I need to change the port listings within one of the files. However, I'm not much clearer on things other than that.
You need an connector who is listen to Port 80 or Port 8080. Open the main configuration file server.xml and add following entry:


 <Connector port                 = "80"
                   maxHttpHeaderSize    = "8192"
                   maxThreads           = "150"
                   minSpareThreads      = "25"
                   maxSpareThreads      = "75"
                   enableLookups        = "false"
                   redirectPort         = "8443"
                   acceptCount          = "100"
                   connectionTimeout    = "20000"
                   disableUploadTimeout = "true" />

This must be placed in the block <Service/>. Be shure that you run only one Tomcat and no web server, who listen to Port 80. This will cause problems. You can add other ports like 443 or 8443 to secure your connection, but try this only after you get some meanfull results :-).
