Hi, Rich Yes the login page for the user authentication comes from Tomcat server. The traffic between Solaris Apache and HPUX Apache server are strictly 'http', HPUX Apache redirect traffic to AJP port of Tomcat through mod_jk. In my Apache 2.2.14 test, except downgraded Apache from v2.2.14 to 2.0.15 on Solaris and its related configuration changes in httpd.conf, there is no other changes made. That is why I think there is a problem in Apache v2.2.14. I should make it clear. In my previous HPUX Apache v2.2.8 problem, the Apache on HPUX had two separate virtual servers. At the time, one virtual web server had strictly static html web pages and served by Apache directly. The other virtual web server uses mod_jk for the communication between Apache and Tomcat. When the problem happened, clients could access web server with static web pages no problem. Clients could not access the web server with Apache and Tomcat. Restart Tomcat did not help. Restart Apache helped. It could last for several days no problem. After that, the problem happened again and needed to restart Apache again. Once I downgraded Apache from v2.2.8 to v2.0.59 without other changes, the problem is gone.

Once the users enter their user names and passwords, the page does not refresh itself to tell the users that they have logged in. Rather the web page still shows login page until the users click F5 to refresh the web page and then the web page shows the users are logged in. The same happened when the users logged out. > > Now I tested with this setup: > > Solaris 10, Apache 2.0.59 reverse proxy --> HPUX 11.23, Apache 2.0.59, Tomcat 5.5 AJP --> Oracle DB > > The problem went away. > > Note those Apache are pre-compiled either by HP or internet, I did not compile myself although I can. At the time the latest version compiled by HP was Apache 2.2.8. The use of the term "login page" makes me wonder if maybe the error lies at some higher layer than Apache. Apache implements authentication in ways that don't involve a "login page", and so presumably this login page is from some third-party application, or something you have coded yourself, Is there a HTTP Redirect involved in this page refresh, or is it a AJAX action? Can you watch the traffic (either something like Firebug, or something on the server) to observe what's happening, and where the message is getting dropped? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
