I downloaded mod_jk binaries from apache.org. How do I extract it??? RH8

binaries? If its an executable then you can do:

./mod_jk

or whatever the file name is. Just proceed the file name with a ./

What type of file is it?
tar
tar.gz
rpm

something else?

The file is "mod_jk.so.ap2.0.40.rh9"

that's just the file name? surely it has .rpm at the end...? oh.. is this in some file manager gui thing? sounds like an rpm to me.

No, that's the entire filename. I'm trying to establish the connection between Apache and Tomcat using the mod_jk2 connector.

Is this what you are looking for?:
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jak...tallhowto.html

Can you give us the URL you downloaded from.

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jak...2.3/bin/linux/

From what I can see from:
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jak...ining%20mod_jk

The the file you have downloaded is the shared object file as compiled for redhat 9. As such I dn't think there is anything to extract. Just install it as per the installation instructions.

Evidently, the version I downloaded doesn't work with Apache 2.0.40, so now I have to update Apache to version 2.0.45. I'll try that and see what I get.

Thanks!!!!
