This is getting very frustrating.
I have a Win2003 Server with a working IIS web server. The
Java installation is 1.4.2_04_b5.
I have
Tomcat 4.1.30 installed as a service on this machine and it is serving pages on port 8080 just fine. I can talk to the Administrator and Manager apps and see the examples.
I am trying to get IIS to use Tomcat for selected URIs - using the recommended JK2 connector isapi_redirect2.dll freshly downloaded. I can configure IIS to show the connector with green arrow, so it looks like IIS is talking to the redirector.
My frustration comes in trying to figure out what goes in the tomcat /conf configuration files. The connector download comes with a worker2.properties.sample which you are supposed to be able to just plug in and go! Didn't work.
However, the contents of that sample look nothing like the recommendations of the various sites I have turned up. In addition, the docs that came with the connector don't say a thing about a worker.properties file but other sources say it is required. In many cases I track down supposed documentation and find that it pertains to an earlier version of the JK connector. That includes documentation that came with Tomcat and stuff found on the web.
If anybody has gotten Tomcat 4 to work with IIS 6 I would love to hear from you on how you got it working.
Yours in frustration - Bill
