this happens when a non-AJP message is sent to the AJP port. See my other comment: if you're not using AJP, remove it.

I keep receiving the following error in tomcat 6 "SEVERE: BAD packet signature "32847" and "SEVERE: BAD packet signature 5635"

I was trying to configure tomcat and Apache2 to use AJP and SSL.

After reading every post on the internet regarding this error I finally decided to start my installation of tomcat 6 and Apache2 over from scratch. When I installed Apache2 I noticed I was missing my mod_jk.so file... so I moved it over from my first installation.... that helped me realize that my mod_jk.so file was out of date with the version of Apache2 I was using.

The solution I found was to matching the correct version of mod_jk.so with the version of Appache2 I was using.

Good luck to anyone else that may be having this same issue.
