Hi,

I stripped the jk.log stuff (too long) above.

I've made some progress.  I have a VirtualHost, so I had to add a "JkMountCopy 
'on'" inside the <VirtualHost>, and now, it's at least proxying through to the 
Tomcat using mod_jk!!

BUT, it's still not logging me into the Tomcat :(...

I don't want to post the entire jk.log, so can someone point me to what to look 
for in there, maybe?

Thanks,
Jim
