Hi Steve,
I have some doubt with the link you gave
point no 5 of your URL which says

ProxyPass 		/ ajp://localhost:8009/
ProxyPassReverse 	/ ajp://localhost:8009/

in my case the server on which Apache is running and the server where
Sakai is are physically different machines.
So my guess is I should replace localhost by IP of machine where sakai
(tomcat) instance is running.

Also I am not clear with point no 7 of your URL.
Which says

"Once again, ensure you have the line in httpd.conf that is going to
load this ajp.conf file."

here are you referring to the Apache vhost file or apache2.conf I am
having a Ubuntu server which does not have httpd.conf What I till now
have understood the server which faces the internet I should have some
thing defined in Apache vhost on that server.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Here is a configuration if you wan to have a look.(which is wrong so I
posted here)
http://pastebin.com/L32D6ii5
The above configuration is server on which Apache is running and
mod_proxy_ajp of Apache is configured
I have created a file named ajp.conf but not clear with the entries
(if localhost should be used there).
Let me know what you think of it.
