I have been having problems getting comet to work and decided to try the APR connector. So I installed APR from the RPM, version apr-1.3.9-3.el6_1.2.i686. I followed instructions that I found locally and online and compiled up the tomcat-native-1.1.23. It installed in the /usr/local/apr/lib folder. In the tomcat6.conf I set the JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/apr/lib"
But I still get the message at start: INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: /usr/local/apr/lib What am I missing?
