Apache and tomcat communication in Kubernetes - kubernetes

Question

I am running two pods for apache and 4 pods for Tomcat(both pods are running in the same namespace). I expose(services) the apache and tomcat port(80,8080) to outside the world.
When I try to call the apache URL the request is not reaching the tomcat pod.
When I check the modjk log I am seeing the tomcat is not up and not running the correct port.
I am using the mod_jk for apache to tomcat communication.
I have given my worker. property file and Jkmount file here. When I directly access the tomcat the application is working fine, I am new to the Kubernetes.
Worker.properties:
worker.list=tomcat,loadbalancer
worker.tomcat.type=ajp13
#worker.myserver.host=127.0.0.1
worker.tomcat.port=8009
worker.tomcat.lbfactor=1
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=tomcat
worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1
JK mount:
JkMount /Userinfo/* tomcat
httpd.conf:
JkWorkersFile /opt/apache/conf/worker.properties
Include /opt/apache/conf/jkmount.conf
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
Tomcat AJP:
<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />
