Tomcat/Apache HTML render issues w/ Mozilla

[cbehar]

Hello,

I have a server running Apache 1.3 and Tomcat 4. we are using the weapp connector enabled so that requests can all go through Apache.

Everything works great except for 1 major glitch. When using Mozilla, Firefox or netscape to access the site, HTML code is displayed instead of the rendered page. Explorer works just fine.

If you try and connect to the site via the coyote HTTP connector on port 9006 using the same browser, the page is displayed correctly.

Here is a link to the probelm site:

I have tried building a new server that uses mod_jk with ajp13 instead of webapp and the same thing occurrs. I think the problem has something to do with the the tomcat settings, however I have no clue where to start.

Any help is appreciated.

Worked fine from Firefox on Fedora Core 3. Did you send header Content-Type: text/html ??

Here is the header I got from your site:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 16:31:06 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) mod_jk/1.2.6 DAV/1.0.3 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7b PHP/4.3.10
Cache-Control: max-age=60
Expires: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 16:32:06 GMT
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=D548142AB34BE698C0AEC0A338AAC7F3; Path=/content
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html

The header contains the correct content type "text/html". I don't think it's Tomcat related. Try save the source as html, and put it in Apache. See if you get the same problem with Mozilla broswer.

Also you might try to avoid any line spacing before the DOCTYPE decclaration (current I see your html source has 21 lines before the DOCTYPE) . It could be the browser wasn't happy with DOCTYPE not being the first line.
