I just set up mod_jk with my Apache httpd 2.0.52 installation, but now when I try to start Apache, it has a segmentation fault. I've checked that I am using the mod_jk compiled for 2.0.x.. built against the same version I have, in fact. I've also verified that the path I'm giving to LoadModule is correct, and the permissions and the ownership of the file are the same as the rest of the modules'. When I remove the "LoadModule" command for mod_jk from my httpd.conf, there is no segmentation fault.

Nothing shows in Apache's error logs. I have tried restarting the server with this module using both service httpd restart and httpd.

These are the last few lines returned of strace httpd -X:

Has anyone had a similar problem using Apache 2.0.52 with mod_jk? I might try downloading and building the source for the Apache server and mod_jk myself if there isn't a discovered fix for this.

Is this a precompiled mod_jk that you found? If so, then it's simple enough to just grab the latest source for mod_jk and compile it, I suspect this is where your problem is - I've compiled mod_jk against the vendor supplied (Red Hat) Apache a lot of times without segfaults.

Make sure httpd-devel is installed (Red Hat/CentOS)

Unpack the real JDK to some path, like /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_18/

Grab the "tomcat-connectors" source from tomcat.apache.org and compile it:

cd tomcat-connectors-1.2.28-src/native
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-java=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_18 --enable-prefork
make
cp apache-2.0/mod_jk.so /etc/httpd/modules/

Your modules should now work as expected.
