Definitely use the init.d script to start stop and restart! If you dig through all of the scripts that are getting executed when you do this, you will notice that there is an attempt to shutdown Tomcat before there is ever an attempt to start or restart it. If your Tomcat server isn't running when it tries to do this, you'll get the Connection refused error everytime. Ignore it. >One other thing; it locks up the SSH terminal I'm on to get to my Cobalt as >it goes through a Removing context pass and it will sit there until I >control-c it. > Did you try hitting enter before you cntrl-c the shell? When I start or restart Apache/Tomcat from the command line, it will always stop at the end of the context removed processing -- it's actually done and the server is running, just hit enter to get the command prompt back not cntrl-c. Once you get to this point telnet to the port on which your Tomcat install is listening for connections from Apache (I think 8008 is the default). You should get a connection. If you do, then Tomcat is listening as it should and the problem is likely somewhere else. If you don't, make sure that you are checking the right port # (config'd in web.xml). I've had Tomcat 3.2.2 running on a RaQ4 for a couple of months now without any problems at all. The migration to Tomcat 4.0.1 and mod_webapp, however, is another story. ~Brian _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
