JK version 1.2.10 is very old. A lot of things changed until we now reached 1.2.25. Typically backend problems will be answered with a non 200 status code. Try a more recent version (like 1.2.25).

Thanks for the tip.  I did just that and upgrade to 1.2.19 (I couldn't find
any binaries for 1.2.25 compiled for http 2.0.52 - running CentOS4 and the
latest httpd is 2.0.52-32 - would any binaries later than 1.2.19 work on
that build?), and the status codes are returning properly now.  I get 503

my first suggestion would be the same as Christophers. If you really can't build it, there should be no module imcompatibility between a download of mod_jk for 2.0.52 or 2.0.59. The more problematic question is the compatibility of your variation of Linux httpd build, and the one you will find as a download.

when my tomcat server is down, which made it very easy to then configure
Apache with a standard ErrorDocument 503 msg in httpd.conf.

However, this does raise an interesting question for me now.  I haven't
tried this, so don't know if/how it would work.  If I am mapping an entire
directory in my virtual host - ie: <Virtual Host>JkMount
/tomcat/*</VirtualHost> and my tomcat server is unavailable, it will return
a 503 error status, which httpd will then respond with an appropriate error
document.  Can I customize the error page on a per mount basis by creating a
.htaccess file in my /tomcat/ directory within my httpd file workspace?
Given that httpd is supposed to be ignoring that directory altogether (ie:
passing all requests over to tomcat thru the jk connector), will it even see
/ read the .htaccess file?  If not, do I need to manually add a JkUnmount
/tomcat/.htaccess command?  Or is there a better way to do this to have
apache still read the .htaccess file even if the entire path is mapped to a
jk connector?

I would expect, that you can use the ErrorDocument directive of Apache httpd also inside a Location directive.

<Location /tomcat/app1>
ErrorDocument 503 /error-docs/app1/error.html
</Location>

That should be compatible with mod_jk. If it works, let us know.

Thanks for the info / help!
