Recently was trying to setup load balancing using mod_jk in apache 2.4 in RHEL 7. The web server and application are hosted in Amazon Cloud Service.The problem i am facing is with versions of mod_jk. Apparently lot of searching i got to know that latest version of mod_jk is available untill apache 2.2.X versions.I am getting mod_jk would not be loaded error.Please provide inputs on this issue.In am not able to down grade it to 2.2 either.

mod_jk.conf

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
JkMount /application/* loadbalancer

workers.properties

worker.list=loadbalancer,status

You can install mod_jk by following the below steps:

# mkdir mod-jk

# cd mod-jk

# wget http://www.eu.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/tomcat-connectors-1.2.41-src.tar.gz

# tar -xf tomcat-connectors-1.2.41-src.tar.gz

# yum install -y httpd-devel gcc gcc-c++ make libtool
