CF10 mod_jk.so won't load with RHEL 5.6 and Apache httpd 2.2.3

Question

Does anyone have a solution to this... Running RHEL 5.6, with Apache httpd 2.2.3-65.el5_8 and get this error when trying to start the webserver:

httpd: Syntax error on line 445 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/conf/mod_jk.conf: Cannot load /data/cf10/config/wsconfig/1/mod_jk.so into server: /data/cf10/config/wsconfig/1/mod_jk.so: undefined symbol: ap_get_server_description

I've looked all over Google, and there are some recommendations to compile my own connector, but I need the one from Adobe for CF10. Also the adobe site lists CF10 compatibility w/ Apache HTTPD 2.2.21, well with RedHat Enterprise they don't move the version number up, it gets reverse patched in the app repo.... ANY help would be awesome.

We are 50 days from going live with CF10 (or planning to), and really could use some help on getting this issue resolved.

In response to one of the posters here, I have indeed verified I'm using the x64 connector in my x64 OS based system.

Here's the response and resolution: You may download the connector from the following “RHEL_mod_jk.zip” web-link at: http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/rhel-connector-configuration.html

Please note that you may proceed with the installation choosing not to configure the web server initially. Once CF is installed you may proceed to create the connector using the wsconfig tool at \ColdFusion10\cfusion\runtime\bin

Answer 2

I wanted to add to the discussion my experience with install issues of CF. I've bumped up on two common issues with installing CF, the problems has been so consistent that I wrote a short "how to" blogpost so I wouldn't forget the next time I needed to deploy another server. While my blog post addresses CF 10 and Cent OS 6.4, this method has always worked as far back as I can remember (eg: CF 8)
